Mine the catatonic backdrop, 2025, oil on canvas over panel, 91 x 122 cm

We are proud to announce that a painting by PhD student Laur Pilon (titled Mine the catatonic backdrop) has been added to the collection housed by the McMichael Canadian Art Collection.

Laur is also featured in a new issue of ELLE Canada, which spotlights Canadian artists who are “capturing our imaginations with diverse forms of painting that push the medium toward new conceptual heights.”

Congratulations, Laur!
