Doors Open Toronto 2013
This year on Saturday 25th and Sunday 26th of May , the
weather in Toronto was perfect , right in the middle of the gardens bloom
.
We had many visitors and a festive atmosphere in The
Distillery District Toronto during the Doors Open 2013 event.
While my studio was open , I decided to show the last series of my
work" Asymptote" Series, acrylic on stretched canvas , a variety of pieces that I
painted for the past 10 months.
The idea behind these came to me while I was
experimenting with various paints and acrylic mediums.
I played the game of shiny versus matte, metallic paints
versus traditional, dark values against neon accents.
I also kept a minimal
number of shapes, giving the mica flakes the stage, all flashy and glitzy.
The sizes of the pieces varied from small ( 10"x10")
to medium (30"x40") and big ( 50"x90"). The images were
built in single or diptychs, triptychs and poliptychs.
The colour palette was set on dark blues and mossy green
backgrounds , deep purples and rich burgundies.
They were created by glazing layers of transparent Golden
Fluid paint, some took 15-20 layers .
Most of the visitors reacted well in front of them, very positive notes were
written in my guest book and many students, artist friends family members and
patrons came through.
I met new clients , new students and newspaper writers who wrote positive articles about my
work in the past.All in all a great experience that I am going to
definitely repeat next year !
Thank you all for your support, my faithful supporters, I
cannot do it without you !
