I am looking forward to the upcoming show. In meeting and chatting with collectors and lovers of art, the artist is able to derive inspiration from yet another source.

The title of the show is Prima e Vera: a play on the Italian word for spring (primavera).

It alludes to painting "alla prima" or on site. It roughly translates to first is true.

The pieces, for the most part, are visceral and impulsive in nature, a nod to my first true love in painting: abstract expressionism. Many are derived from the Emozioni series, which I introduced last spring at the Richmond Hill Centre for The Performing Arts. The series has evolved into a much more dynamic, atmospheric collection. This well-received collection hits front and centre in this show in both resin on panel and mixed media on canvas. Also showing will be pieces from the Apparitions series, in resin on panel, canvas and limited edition artist enhanced and signed giclees.

The piece shown on the invitation above is from the Emozioni series and is two 48x36" panels finished in resin. It is tiltled:" Nel Vento".

See you on Thursday, April 26th at FRAME OF MIND.
