Constructed Visions features a selection of the more than 100 Bloore drawings in CUAG's collection. Bloore has made stylistically distinct drawings at specific points throughout his career. These drawings rarely served as studies for his paintings; they are independent and masterful works of art by one of Canada's most acclaimed abstractionists.
- Sandra Dyck, Curator
The opening reception was on Jan. 14 2008 at 5-8 p.m. with an address from Lilly Koltun of the National Portrait Gallery. Ron Bloore gave an artist's talk the next day at noon.
