UpcomingExhibition

Songs from the Big Top

The exhibition brings together two bodies of work that emanate an energy, balance, and harmony that need to be seen by the naked eye. Both the large format works in wax and oil, and his most recent smaller works in acrylic, keep you looking, going deeper, understanding his journey, which is also our journey.

About the show

Two bodies of work in one room: the large format paintings in wax and oil, and the smaller, more recent work in acrylic. They are made to be stood in front of. Photographs of them are a report, not the thing.

The large works hold their energy at a distance and then keep rewarding a closer look, which is the order most people meet them in. The acrylics are quieter and quicker, and seeing the two together is the point of hanging them together.

Meet the artist

Saturday 10 October, 2–5 pm, at YoungPlace. Greg will be there for the afternoon. Drop in at any point; there's nothing formal to be on time for. A note beforehand helps me plan, but it isn't required.

If you can't make the tenth, write to me and I'll arrange a private viewing at a quieter hour during the run.

Visiting

YoungPlace, 180 Shaw Street, Toronto. Open Monday to Friday, 9 am–7 pm, and Saturday and Sunday, 9 am–5 pm, from 1 to 16 October. Admission is free.
