In the Eighties

Corkin Gallery in Toronto's Distillery District presents In the Eighties, a solo exhibition by Leopold Plotek, on view October 4, 2025 through July 4, 2026. The exhibition features monumental canvases expressive of the artist's intellectual engagement with architecture, art history and philosophy. The paintings, nearly fifty years old, demonstrate vitality and wit, reflecting Plotek's engagement with Italian architecture as well as his devotion to music and literature. The 1980s marked a period of confidence for the artist, balancing rigor with ease in these compositions.
