In the Aspromonte region of Calabria, the temperatures sometimes soar to stifling levels similar to what we are experiencing in Southern Ontario, albeit with considerably less humidity. In the piece above, tiltled
Aspromonte Sera, I recall the intensity of feelings experienced when witnessing the sun setting on the parched, desert-like land. There is colour, there is silence, there is distance. There is heat.
Take a cool little break this summer if you happen to be in Maple. "On the Slate" is presenting "Luminous Vaughan", paintings by Pietro Adamo. Bring the family-you may be surprised at the reactions to the pieces by your kids. It's a beautiful, cool, grand space-and the paintings, I've been told, are worth a look!
The collection, expertly curated by Vaughan Arts Coordinator, Sharon Gaum-Kuchar ( formerly of the Varley Gallery and the Art Gallery of Ontario), is on display from July 18-September 6, 2013. Vaughan is lucky to be able to draw upon her wealth of expertise in fine art. The pieces are from my personal collection as well as from Hazelton Galleries (Yorkville), Kipling Gallery (Woodbridge), and Canadian Heritage Fine Art Galleries (Kleinburg). They were painted between 2010 and 2013 so they showcase the latest directions in my art.
