Art Toronto
Montserrat Duran Muntadas, JJ Levine, Nathalie Bujold
ELLEPHANT presents works by Montserrat Duran Muntadas, JJ Levine, and Nathalie Bujold. For the 2026 edition, we have created an immersive environment that invites close looking and emphasizes material sensitivity, tactility, and spatial dialogue. Across the three practices, the works consider intimacy, embodiment, memory, and the relationship between organic forms and constructed spaces. Together, the works create a dialogue between material and image, presence and absence, and the tactile and the ephemeral.
Montserrat Duran Muntadas works primarily with delicately constructed glass and textile to consider the body as a site of memory, vulnerability, and transformation, and to explore themes of womanhood. Seven of her torch-worked, blown, and clear glass objects, decorated with lace and other textiles, will be at ELLEPHANT’s booth #326, while two more will be at the Art Dealers Association of Canada (ADAC) booth #P15. Her work has been exhibited across North America, Asia, and Europe and can be found in the collections of the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec, Ville de Montréal, and the Museum of Glass Art (MAVA) in Alcorcón, Spain.
JJ Levine, while known for his portraits that explore gender, sexuality, and human connection, will be presenting his floral still-life photographs, which offer a parallel meditation on intimacy, presence, and stillness. Levine’s work has been exhibited at the McCord Stewart Museum, the Fitzwilliam Museum, and Canada House Gallery, UK, with an upcoming presentation at the National Gallery of Canada. His work can be found in the collections of Hydro-Québec, Power Corporation of Canada, and Banque Desjardins.
Nathalie Bujold is an interdisciplinary artist whose practice explores the intersections of video, music, and textiles. Bujold’s contemplative video work, Sur un fils, invites viewers into an intimate encounter with a vireo, a small songbird, encouraging a slower, more attentive way of looking. Her work has been exhibited at the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec, the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, and the Art Gallery of Guelph. Her work can be found in the collections of Duke University in North Carolina, USA, MNBAQ, and RBC.
