*The gallery's published list includes the names shown in its artist index; the table groups a representative selection rather than the complete roster.

Graham, Richard Gorman, Tom Hodgson, Donald Jarvis, Serge Lemoyne, Rene Marcil, William Winter, Ruben Zellermayer, and others.

What the Gallery Specializes In

La Parete Gallery's stated focus is Canadian abstract art, and it buys and sells works in that category. The artist list reflects that specialization: it is weighted toward painters associated with Canadian abstraction movements rather than a general mix of styles or international names. The gallery also provides custom framing services for art, which is relevant if you are considering a purchase and want a piece framed to match.

Visiting or Contacting the Gallery

The gallery is located at 1091 Bathurst St, Toronto, ON M5R 3G8. Its published contact options are email, phone, and in-person visits. For questions about a particular artist, availability, or framing, contacting the gallery directly is the most reliable route, since inventory changes and the website does not display live stock status for every piece.

What to Keep in Mind

  • The artist list indicates who the gallery represents or features, not necessarily which works are in stock at any given moment.
  • The site does not publish prices in the material reviewed, so pricing and availability need to be confirmed with the gallery.
  • If your interest is a specific artist or period within Canadian abstraction, check the artist page first, then follow up by phone or email before making a trip.
