In recent years, Canadian abstraction has experienced renewed recognition among private and institutional collectors. Once underrepresented on the international stage, artists such as Harold Feist, William Perehudoff, and Rita Letendre are now being re-examined for their pivotal roles in post-war modernism and the shaping of Canada’s cultural identity.
This exhibition places Feist’s disciplined spontaneity in dialogue with the expressive visual works of Miles Davis, whose creative vision extended far beyond the realm of music. Both artists explored the dynamic relationship between rhythm and structure — translating improvisation into colour, movement, and form. Davis’s paintings and prints reflect the same daring exploration and emotional resonance that defined his musical evolution, while Feist’s abstractions invite viewers into a language of gesture and control.
Collecting a Miles Davis print represents more than ownership of a work by an iconic cultural figure — it signifies participation in a rare intersection of music and visual art history. These pieces embody the spirit of innovation and cross-disciplinary creativity that continues to influence artists and collectors worldwide.
Together, Davis and Feist reveal how sound can transform into colour and rhythm into surface — a celebration of abstraction that bridges art, music, and time.
