Some nice things to say about the three Canadian Galleries at NADA NYC.
“Clint Roenisch, who, for the past decade, has run his respected gallery out of Toronto’s Queen St. West gallery hub, presented a strong showing of his artists Niall McClelland, Hugh Scott-Douglas, and Aleksander Hardashnakov (the latter couple are two of the three co-owners of Tomorrrow Gallery). When asked why he...
Vogue - Jeremy Laing
“The last stop on our trip was a benefit for the Dallas Contemporary, a leading edge, non-collecting art museum. Here I am with Jenny Kirtland of the choral symphonic pop rock band, The Polyphonic Spree. She’s wearing a tunic from my spring 2012 collection that features a print by a friend of mine, artist Niall McClelland.”
Little nod from my friend Jeremy Laing, in his Vogue...

SF Chronicle Review
A good review of my exhibit “One Tune Outta Turn” at Eleanor Harwood Gallery from the SF Chronicle -
“Toronto artist Niall McClelland presents paintings and paper pieces at Eleanor Harwood that seek parity between process and content. That ambition has roots that reach back half a century to the early work of people such as Barry Le Va and Richard Serra. It has resurfaced...

NADA - Financial Times
A little love from the Financial Times yesterday regarding the NADA fair next week in NYC-
“Another way of piquing interest in its New York edition is to keep the selection of galleries different from Nada’s other fairs this year. “Only 50 per cent of the participants in New York have taken part in one of our fairs before, so half of them are totally new,” says Beauchene. “For example, we...

“Are you familiar with the idea of desire lines? They’re those worn-down paths in parks, the ones that branch of from sidewalks and cut across the grass, between the trees, a people’s hypotenuse. In Finland, I hear, when the city wants to pave some new paths, they send workers out right after a fresh snow, to see where people are walking. Desire lines are any paths, roads or other routes,...

“I think that probably the most potent desire for a painter, an image maker, is to see it. To see what the mind can think and imagine, to realize it for oneself, through oneself, as concretely as possible. I think that’s the most powerful and at the same time the most archaic urge that has endured for about twenty-five thousand years.”
