A career-spanning presentation of 20 exuberant woodcut prints by one of Canada’s leading printmakers, in her first solo exhibition at the AGO, Naoko Matsubara demonstrates her masterful handling of the medium, exploring personal and art historical subjects. Composed of vibrant, complementary colours animated with incisions and wood grain, anchoring the exhibition is Tagasode (2014), a monumental 2 meter single-sheet print, recalling an ikō – a piece of furniture on which a kimono hangs.
Also featured are seven woodcut prints from her series In Praise of Hands (1973-2020). Inspired by the movements of her baby’s hands, in which the artist saw the “very beginnings of human communication fluently expressed in so much variety” this series illustrates the ingenuity of hands performing actions like weaving bamboo, playing the flute and carving wood. Curated by Renée van der Avoird, associate curator of Canadian Art, in addition to a dynamic grouping of more recent, abstract woodcut prints, the exhibition is bookended by two career-spanning self-portraits—one from 1966 (age 29); and the other from 2024 (age 87).

The museum has a large collection of Buddha statues of Liao and Jin. The image is vivid and the details are rich. It is far from the common Buddha statues and is worth a visit. In addition, the museum has a large number of biological collections, dinosaur fossils, rhino specimens, etc. Although there are many dinosaur fossils in China, it is worth seeing.
