Happy New Year!

As promised back in December, here are some images from the last 1000 for 10 show @ Creatures Creating here in Toronto. Included are larger shots of all the work adorning the walls of the gallery plus close-ups of the work I contributed to the show. Thanks to everyone who came out and supported us artists!
As you can see from the images we had an eclectic and funky mix of art up for grabs at an affordable price.
The pieces I submitted are mostly on cigar boxes, with many composed from tape, varnish, ink, acrylic paint and acrylic paint skins. I tend to mix my colours in used coffee cups. The wax coating makes it (usually) pretty easy to peel out the layers of dried paint. I've been saving up for quite some time. There are some larger paint skin collages in the works. I'll be posting images in the 'Abstract' gallery when completed.
Also included in the mix were 2 companion pieces to my long lost 'Stuff', which was stolen from the first Abstract Implications show back in 2010 @ Steam Whistle Brewery. The 2 LED wired pieces had been kicking around in my studio gathering dust for long enough. I am happy that those, along with the other pieces which sold, have found a home out there in the wider world.
Stay tuned for images of new work and here's wishing everyone a happy and productive 2014!

1000 for $10 - part IV

It has certainly been a while since my last post. I've been occupied with moving out of my studio space *sob* in favour of saving some money for travel in the near future. I now find myself with a house full of art and a woefully inadequate space to tackle the giant 6x6' canvas that is currently sitting in my dining room. On the plus side, I CAN tackle smaller projects in my bedroom turned studio. A couple 4x5' pieces are on the go AND I've cranked out a bunch of fun, smaller scale pieces for this year's 1000 for 10 show, hosted by Creatures Creating (822 Dundas St. W, Toronto) - http://www.creaturescreating.com
I'll be posting some shots of the show/my work in the near future. If anyone is in the area, tonight is the opening reception, featuring over 50 talented artists and 1000 pieces of affordable art. Bring a fat stack of 10s and support us in our quest to bring art to a wider audience.

New work up at Insomnia - Bathurst/Bloor

As of yesterday I have 5 pieces of work up at Insomnia (http://insomniacafe.com/ - Southeast corner of Bathurst/Bloor, Toronto). Stop on by and have a look if anyone is in the area!
The art will be on display until the beginning of Sept.
In other news, tomorrow night, Sat Aug 10, is the opening of part 2 of Abstract Implications 3 over at Project Gallery (1109 Queen St. E. Toronto). We'll be there from 7-midnight. Come have a drink and scope out a diverse array of abstract offerings from 29 artists!

Abstract Implications 3 and other developments

Abstract Implications 3 is right around the corner! The work will be on display to the public at Gallery 1313 (1313 Queen St. W. Toronto) as of this coming Thursday, July 25. The reception for the show will be the following Thursday, August 1 from 7pm-10pm.
The Project Gallery portion of the show will be on display from August 10-15, with an opening reception the evening of Saturday, August 10 from 7pm-12am (or thereabouts ;)
I'm excited to have the chance to work with over 25 other talented artists and offer the public a little taste of the abstract(ed).
In other news, the work at C'est What? (67 Front St. E. Toronto @ Church) has been taken down...and replaced with brand spanking new work! The pieces will be on display there until August 5, at which point I will be hanging some of those new pieces plus some NEW new pieces at Insomnia Cafe (563 Bloor St. W. @ Bathurst) for the remainder of August.

Updates!

Currently have work up at Gallery 1313 with some other talented folks in this summer's G1313 emerging artist exhibit. g1313.org - art's up until July 7th!
In other art hanging related news, I'll be swapping the work currently hanging at C'est What? (http://www.cestwhat.ca/) for new pieces later next week. Those will be up until August.
Aaaaaand, when the end of the month rolls around:

More details to come re: the opening nights for the two shows. We've got quite a few artists on board already to take part in these two uniquely curated shows. This is shaping up to be a lot of fun!

And to top it all off, I'll have more work up at Insomnia (http://insomniacafe.com/) at the beginning of August. 

Phew. It's going to be a busy summer!

Stay tuned for uploads of new work and possible restructuring of the website.

Project Gallery Toronto - 1109 Queen St. East

Friends and studiomates, Lex and Cal, have started up a gallery/collective space in the Queen East neighbourhood. Last night was their inaugural exhibition, Spring Fling. The work is up until next Wednesday if anyone who is reading this happens to be in the area. Viewers will be treated to a fun and eclectic mix of energetic art by local emerging artists. It's also looking mighty slick in the space since renovations were completed.
Next Thursday, May 30 is the opening of their 2nd group show, Fatal Abstractions. (7pm-11pm) I'll be showing a few pieces for that one along with a number of other talented artists working in various modes of abstraction. Should be a fun night!
