Step into a world stripped of color, where the power of form, texture, and contrast reign supreme. “Achromatic” is a captivating exploration of the artistic possibilities within a limited palette. Featuring an eclectic mix of paintings, prints, and sculptures from across Canada, this exhibition brings together a diverse group of artists who push the boundaries of black, white, and grayscale.
