Provenance:
Private Collection, Toronto
Notes:
McCarthy is a maverick in Canadian art who paints in a profoundly individual manner. He has said:
"The purpose of art is finding the edge, that point or that line between abstraction and realism, between reality and non reality, between being and nothingness, where things perceived are ultimately not what they seem to be."
