ABOUT THE ARTIST
Douglas Porter is a visual artist whose video works have been featured in festivals and galleries across Canada, the United States, and Europe. Building on his foundation in video art, he has recently turned his focus to acrylic painting on canvas. His current work investigates the aesthetics and potential relevance of contemporary devotional imagery. In addition to his studio practice, Doug creates visual environments for worship spaces using a range of media. He is based in Orillia, Ontario, Canada.
ABOUT THE EXHIBITION
"YES THIS FACE" explores how we imagine Jesus. We have no real description of his appearance, yet countless cultures have pictured him in their own way. No one knows what Jesus looked like—and everyone does.
These paintings place familiar images of Jesus into unexpected, contemporary settings. By shifting the context, the work invites viewers to see him with fresh eyes and consider what his presence might mean here and now.
This exhibit invites a reconsideration of Jesus outside traditional religious frames and within the realities of our contemporary world.
TO VISIT THE EXHIBIT BETWEEN JAN 17 and the end of APRIL 2026, contact Lorenda to make arrangements: 289-783-1545
