Silver Editions 2026 Launch
Join us on Wednesday, November 18, from 5:30–8:30 PM at Le Germain Hotel Mercer for an exclusive evening celebrating the launch of Gallery TPW’s 2026 Silver Editions!
Now in its third decade, Silver Editions brings together exceptional artists working across contemporary photography and lens-based media. This year’s collection features limited-edition prints by Abraham Onoriode Oghobase, Jake Kimble, and Rydel Cerezo—three artists whose distinct practices offer compelling perspectives on the possibilities of image-making today. Join us to discover their work, connect with fellow collectors and arts supporters, and celebrate the artists shaping the future of contemporary photography.
As we look ahead to Gallery TPW’s 50th anniversary in 2027, we’re especially excited to unveil a special Golden Edition by Suzy Lake, one of TPW’s founding members and a pioneering figure in Canadian photographic and lens-based art. This commemorative release honours TPW’s rich history of championing artists, pushing the boundaries of photographic practice, and fostering critical dialogue around images and their cultural impact.
We look forward to raising a glass with you, celebrating this year’s artists, and marking an exciting milestone in Gallery TPW’s history!
Silver Editions 2026 is sponsored by Le Germain, Paradise Grapevine, Burdock Brewery, Superframe, Total Image Works, Smokestack.
Please RSVP by Wednesday, November 4.
Artist Bios
Abraham Onoriode Oghobase (b. 1979 in Lagos, Nigeria) is a visual artist and researcher living and working in Toronto, Canada. In his photography-based practice, he explores issues around knowledge production, land, colonial history and representation by deconstructing traditional modes of making and experimenting with the narrative and material potential of images and objects, all the while embracing the power of abstraction and revealing new possibilities in meaning and imagination. Oghobase’s work has been exhibited widely, including in the Nigeria Pavilion at the 60th Venice Biennial; the Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto; Museum of Modern Art, New York; Polygon Gallery, Vancouver; Goodman Gallery, Johannesburg; and Art Twenty One, Lagos. His work is held in the permanent collections of institutions including the AGO; MoMA; Art Institute of Chicago; Ackland Art Museum, University of North Carolina; and Museum of Contemporary Art, Kiasma, Helsinki. Oghobase holds an MFA in Visual Arts from York University, Toronto, where he is currently a PhD candidate.

Jake Kimble is a multidisciplinary Chipewyan (Dënesųłıné) artist and curator from Treaty 8 territory in the Northwest Territories whose practice revolves around acts of self-care, self-repair, and gender-based ideological refusal. Kimble belongs to the Deninu K’ue First Nation and currently lives, works, and shoots on the stolen territory of xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish) and səl̓ilw̓ətaʔɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. Holding both a degree in Acting from Vancouver Film School as well as a BFA in Photography from Emily Carr University of Art + Design Kimble imbues his work with a sense of theatricality and levity, which are core principles in their practice. Through a clever subversion of the everyday aesthetics Kimble also plays with language and ambiguity – something that comes natural with them being a two-spirited artist. Using a funny bone as a tool, Kimble excavates themes of existentialism, narcissism, and the strange, offering an invitation to the audience to examine the absurdities that exist within the everyday so that they too may exhale, unclench, and even chuckle in the spaces where laughter is often lost.
They have completed residencies at the Klondike Institute of Art and Culture, Yukon, and the Banff Centre for Arts + Creativity, Alberta, and was the co-curator of the 2024 Contemporary Native Art Biennial (BACA). Most recently Kimble had their inaugural solo institutional exhibition at the Beaverbrook Art Gallery in Fredericton, New Brunswick. Kimble’s work was featured on the King and Shaw Street billboards for the 2023 Scotiabank CONTACT Photography Festival, and was included in a group exhibition at the Audain Art Museum alongside Adad Hannah, Michelle Sound, and Jin-me Yoon for the 2024 Capture Photography Festival. Kimble’s work has been exhibited in various group and solo exhibitions across Canada, and can be found in notable collections such as the TD Collection, the Scotiabank Collection, and in the Art Gallery of Hamilton.

Rydel Cerezo investigates the spaces between sexuality, religion and race. He is interested in how these disparate themes metaphorically and visually coalesce. Cerezo instrumentalizes the camera as a means to work through queerness, ancestry and destiny. Cerezo has exhibited internationally including Aperture Foundation, the Vogue Italia Festival and the Polygon Gallery. Cerezo was shortlisted for the Philip B. Lind Emerging Artist Prize, Jurors Pick for the Salt Spring Art Prize and shortlisted for the Sobey Art Award.

Suzy Lake was born in Detroit. Shaped by the socio-political issues of the 1960’s she immigrated to Montreal in 1968. Her practice alternatively adopted performance, video, and photography as an exploration into the politics of the body, identity, and power relations.
She moved to Toronto in 1978 and met a group of photographers at Michael Mitchell’s studio that enthusiastically wanted to share their work and talk about photography. Although classically trained as a painter-printmaker, the group “welcomed her anyway”. There were lively exchanges of content/intent married with camera skill and print quality. From that energy, the Toronto Photographer’s Workshop was gradually formed.
The Art Gallery of Ontario mounted a retrospective of her work in 2014. Lake was the recipient of both a Governor General’s Award for Visual Arts and Media, and the Scotiabank Photography Award in 2016. The CAA awarded her with a Distinguished Artist Award for Lifetime Achievement in Chicago in 2024.
Her work is in major Canadian museums, plus significant international institutions such as the Brandhorst Museum, Munich, Germany; Centre National des Arts Plastiques, Paris, France; Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City; Museum of Modern Art, New York City; Museum Lodz, Wroclaw, Poland; and the Sammlung Verbund, Vienna, Austria.
