Katja Zubkova & Marianne Lovink

September 17-October 11, 2026

Thursday, September 17th with Artists in Attendance

Against the Grain is a duo exhibition bringing together the distinctive practices of two accomplished Canadian female sculptors. This dynamic exhibition explores materiality, form, and process with the medium of wood and highlights the unique dialogue between the artists’ approaches, revealing shared interests in pushing the boundaries of contemporary sculpture.

“Against the Grain is exactly the kind of show I love building — two artists who couldn’t have more different starting points, brought together around one material. Katja and Marianne aren’t just exhibiting together, they’re in conversation, and that’s what makes this pairing so compelling,”  says Jennifer Kostuik, owner and director of Kostuik Gallery.
