Mendelson Joe was born in Toronto at the Western Hospital less than a year
before Canada joined the Allies in ending World War II. Although Joe grew up
in Maple, a feedmill town twenty miles north of Toronto, the city of Toronto
was always his home - even during his itinerant years in London and Los
Angeles as an electric troubadour. When Joe fell into painting and loved it
like music, it was inevitable that he would document his friends, colleagues,
neighbours, and others. For years, he painted portraits of Torontonians known
and unknown, including: Robert Fulford, Robert Priest, Irshad Manji, Margaret
Atwood, Bernie Finkelstein, Stan the Fan, and Babydoll Grandma. Over thirty
years later, his portraits of Torontonians amount to a significant body of
work, and here, in Joe's Toronto, he exhibits fifty portraits from the
experience. It tells both his story and the story of those he portrayed. Along
with faithful reproductions of the original paintings, Joe has added his own
brand of particular comments about the subjects and the sessions.
