THIS WEEK

The Art of Healing, Antoine de Villiers

2025 May 1 — July 18

Art has the power to expose, to connect, and ultimately—to heal. In her upcoming exhibition The Art of Healing: A Retrospective of Six Years in Richmond Hill, internationally acclaimed painter Antoine de Villiers presents more than just a body of work—she offers a profound window into the emotional terrain of belonging, resilience, and transformation. Known for her evocative figurative style and global career, Antoine returns to her adopted hometown with her first solo gallery exhibition ever—a stunning collection of works born from personal reckoning and quiet restoration.

In a world where art is so often consumed in passing online, The Art of Healing reminds us why standing in the presence of authentic, vulnerable work matters now more than ever.
