Official Partner
Régis Souto works in oil, mixed media, and digital — building images where memory becomes material. Brazilian-born, Toronto-based, queer. His paintings navigate the distance between who we were and who we insist on becoming: tropical birds suspended against black fields, carnival faces outlined by choice, bodies negotiating between discipline and desire.
Painting as a frontier. Identity as movement.
Solo Exhibition · The Show Gallery · April 2026
