Christmas Show at Gallery Hittite

Unfortunately, I couldn't be there in person, but I was at Gallery Hittite in spirit, celebrating the Christmas group show, along with the many talented artists, such as Sara Caglar {gallery owner), Anna Zinato, and Cem Basarir.

Highlights from Gallery Hittite

Last November, I had the wonderful opportunity of a solo 
show at the prestigious Gallery Hittite in Yorkville, Toronto.
I had a fantastic time, sold a few pieces and reconnected with friends. I also made several new friends.
Here are some of the highlights:

The invitation, featuring a detail of
the geologically inspired,
 '100 Million Years'
The poster featured a piece entitled, 'Hound's Tooth'
Some of the smallest paintings I've ever done.

I hadn't seen my friend Dev in ages!
Michelle Bylow and DJ Nicodemus Natas Exto
Discussing colour, form and Scottish geography with school chum, Kit McAllister


All smiles and giggles with Sean 'Synkro' Murray.
The lovely Bella, and the dashing Bhat!


I served up one of my famous Chocolate Skulls.

Vik and Sean are amazed at the deliciousness of the skull.
Now you're both cannibals!

Discussing the symbols and textures of  'Royaume Sacre'.

Good times with fellow artist, Piera Pugliese

Autumn at Moniker Gallery

'Le-O-Lam' by Marina Malvada (me!)
What a creepy-cool poster!
August to November 2013 was an exciting season at Moniker Gallery in Toronto's Fashion District. Last week, there was the Moniker Gallery Exhibition Series 6 - FINALE. You can see one of my pieces on the left here. Back in August, there was the spooky-cool 'Dark Arts' show, and the appropriately timed 'Dark Arts II' on Halloween. This month, there's going to be a really great lineup of non representational work at the ABSTRACTION show. I'm contributing at least 2 pieces to this one! Of course, the fun will continue throughout 2014, so I suggest you all like Moniker Gallery and come out, have a drink and enjoy some amazing art!

I think someone was taking off his pants

I want those teensy baroque meat sculptures!

Moi, avec mon oeuvre, 'Jesus Fucking Christ!'
