Toronto-based Podeswa has exhibited internationally in public and private galleries including the Association for Visual Arts (Capetown) and ARC (Chicago). His paintings can be found in private and public collections, including the Donovan Collection and the Agnes Etherington Art Centre, Kingston, Ontario. His series Duncan was the subject of a profile by John Bentley Mays in International Architecture and Design (Fall 2010) and his prior work has been reviewed extensively in the media. Most recently, Podeswa’s work was featured in the exhibition “Sole of a Shoe” with Chaim Pincas Podeszwa and Yidel Podeswa, curated by E.C. Woodley and exhibited at WTG in 2012. This work was based on a recent visit to his father’s birthplace in Poland, and was shown alongside pre- and post-war paintings by his father and grandfather.

The exhibition was reviewed by Gary Michael Dault for Border Crossings Magazine:

“It was an occasion of witnessing this stirring, deeply moving exhibition, rather than veiwing it. A vast, resonate display, rich and deep with detail, “Sole of a Shoe” spread its meaning over two continents and sounded its urgencies and implications back over what is now almost a century. Sensitively and respectfully curated by Toronto-based writer and critic E C Woodley, “Sole of a Shoe” offered paintings by three generations of the Podeswa family—grandfather Chaim Pinchas Podeszwa, father Julius or Yidel Podeswa and son Howard Podeswa. Seen together, the paintings formed an engrossing progress, painful and triumphant, tinctured with a terror and a grief eventually, leavened with patience, wisdom and a deeply touching transcendent calm—and even, in some of the recent paintings by Howard Podeswa, a sort of wry humour, albeit shot through with the implications and the attendant mysteries of elegy.”
