Abstract Realities Beyond Horizons 1

I was excited to see Curtis Amisich's fine paintings again after almost 13 years!  From the group exhibition Abstract Realities Beyond Horizons currently at Mark Christopher Gallery, Toronto:

Thank you, M, for showing me the older work as well.  Great to see you again!

My recent post on Curtis Amisich's latest Peak Gallery show Scrambled; Who's Afraid Of Pink, Blue And Yellow has criminally neglected the intro video.  So here it is, plus some other detailed images, new and old:

Amisich's show is concluding this Saturday.  If you are in Toronto, it's worth taking a trip to the west end to see it.

Who's Afraid Of Pink, Blue And Yellow?

Curtis Amisich's latest show Scrambled; Who's Afraid Of Pink, Blue And Yellow at Peak Gallery has the idea of its name borrowed from Barnett Newman's late works.  Amisich's optically interesting works are just nearly as provocative as master Newman's.

It Began In Afrikkka

I'm not talking about the Chemical Brothers' 2001 hit.  It's the summer group show at Toronto's Peak Gallery.  It features many familiar names who have shown at Peak before.  Works were carefully chosen and arranged so that each piece resonates with the others.  A refreshing dose of primal vibes on a hot summer day.
