To all GTA art lovers: There's an exciting new gallery in KING: THE ORCHARD GALLERY.
The opening will take place on Thursday, October 6 from 7-9 pm. The address is 2700 16th sideroad, King City Ontario. Director Paul Harding has assembled an all-star cast of exciting Canadian Artists from emerging to seasoned veterans. The gallery itself is located in the famous King Apple Orchard familiar to many a parent who has gone 'pickin' with their children in the beautiful Southern Ontario Autumn. On an evening this autumn, do join us for something that matters more than stale elections: celebrate the beautiful side of life by attending the opening and enjoying a quality evening in a wonderful setting. The quaint gallery is exquisite and should prove to be a destination location for excellence in Canadian Art: Here's the early list: Nancy Jones, Helen Lucas, Tom Miller, MJ Hobbs, Ernestine Tahedl and yes, yours truly, Pietro Adamo. To mark the occasion, an auction will take place of a rare David Suzuki "Gyo Taku" print. Proceeds benefitting the David Suzuki foundation. So you see, we'll be in good company. Those of you who have followed my career know that I only do solo shows so you know that it has to be special for me to participate in this group show opening. When a director considers your work worthy of showing with the likes of Helen Lucas ( my prof, mentor, friend) you humbly accept. I am excited about this gallery and I hope to meet as many of you as possible Thursday evening. So vote early and then "forgetaboutit". Join us for a cool evening in the country! Call Paul Harding at 416-518-0754 or 905-833-2660 for details.
The piece above is a 40x40 resin on wood composition. The high energy and intense colour are elements that are amplified by the depth created through the resin finish. Why Futura? In this case, it just came to me as an appropriate title. Maybe it points to the future direction of the series-who knows? The beauty in what I do is in the freedom. For this, I am truly grateful. I am particularily grateful for the hard-working reps and gallery owners who stand by my work throughout the world. Thanks, grazie, merci !
