Unpretentious Culture in Toronto

Underwater Castle
2012 Acrylic on Canvas 2012
36 x 30"

Art and music fans are invited out for a night of modern art and groovy jazz for a good cause in an unpretentious, comfortable party atmosphere on November 16th 2012 from 7-10 pm.

This show is a collection of my Ambient paintings: Background becoming a focal point. For those not familiar with my work or the story behind it, my Ambient paintings are about familiar weatherworn surfaces elevated by design. Texture, worn and distressed surfaces and the accidental are framed, celebrated and transformed. These paintings are not so heavy and meaningful as they are my type of eye-candy. They are what I love about abstract painting.

This show is more of a party than an art reception. I hired a jazz band. This is acclaimed jazz guitarist Jacek Karlowski leading his contemporary jazz trio through his spacy and groovy originals as well as putting his own stamp on some Wayne Shorter tunes. I heard some of the ideas he has for the show, and it’s going to be awesome! Music lovers, you’re in for a treat! Jacek has played in many bands around the Toronto area, thrilling listeners with his outside playing and hard grooves. Listening to him solo, you can’t help but notice this guy is a never ending flood of ideas. The week after this show, he’s playing at the Sony Center. He’s also a good personal friend.

Paintings on sale range in size and price, and are sold directly from me to you. There will also be prints for those who like art, but not the price of an original.
 And it’s all for a good cause! A portion of the proceeds goes to the Ride To Conquer Cancer. My friends Lorraine and Richard Holt are doing the ride for the second time this year, and I’m very proud to be supporting them. You can donate directly at this link:
