I will be showing a new series of paintings at Youngplace (180 Shaw St), during Doors Open Toronto this Saturday May 24th and Sunday May 25th. If you are in the Dundas and Ossington neighbourhood, please drop by and say hello!
My piece, Copan, is currently on display at Propeller's 25th anniversary exhibition. I was a member there in 2008 and 2009.
Reading Richard Wright, mixed media on panel, 12” x 9” x 1.5”, 2020, $240, SOLD through Canvas Gallery.
I was reading Black Boy, by Richard Wright, when I painted this piece. I found the book very moving. He was born in 1908 (the same year as my grandparents), but fought tremendous racism as a black boy/youth growing up in Mississippi in the 1920s and 30s. The text running in the background of this piece is from a quote of his based on the state of things in the US in the first half of the 20th C.
Cortez, mixed media on panel, 36” x 48” x 2”, 2020. SOLD through Canvas Gallery.
This is the latest in a series of text-based paintings. The numbers are drawn at random. The text underneath is taken from a speech from Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
