“Dean's work is always so beautifully fabricated that one is first seduced by the object, then repelled by the content of the work. It's in the tension between these two feelings that the strength of the work lies.”
Michael Klein has brought the names of experimental Canadian talent into the forefront of Toronto's contemporary art scene. He is the founder and director of Gallery MKG127, a permanent fixture in Toronto since 2007. As an artist, Michael has exhibited in solo and group exhibitions across Canada for over 25 years.
