BLOUIN DIVISION — MONTREAL | TORONTO
The marketing. The money. The labour. The forces that decide what a thing is worth are usually left off the canvas. Sean Weisgerber mixes them into the paint. Value is assigned by systems, and the systems are the subject. Newness. Price. Labour. Each body of work takes one and follows it to the surface, until the thing that assigns worth becomes the thing you see. A word, manufactured like a product. A painting's price, counted inch by inch. A unit of labour, logged as a mark. Slowly. By hand. In a culture that runs on the opposite.
Sean Weisgerber is an artist based between Toronto and London. His work centres on the nexus of art and commerce, with an interest in how art and labour are commodified. He holds an MA in Painting from the Royal College of Art (London) and a BFA from Emily Carr University of Art + Design (Vancouver). His work has been shown in solo exhibitions at Arsenal Contemporary (New York), Blouin Division (Montreal/Toronto), Open Studio Contemporary Printmaking Centre (Toronto), and Wil Aballe Art Projects (Vancouver), with a new solo exhibition, "Long Live the New," opening at Blouin Division (Toronto) in October 2026. He has had work included in group exhibitions at the Royal Academy of Arts (London), the Art Gallery of Ontario (Toronto), The Plumb (Toronto), The Foreman Gallery at Bishop's University (Sherbrooke), The New Gallery (Calgary), Ace Art (Winnipeg), AKA Artist-Run (Saskatoon), Cooper Cole Gallery (Toronto), and the National Gallery of Canada (Ottawa) as a finalist in the RBC Painting Competition. He is represented by Blouin Division (Montreal/Toronto).
