<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;">Paul Specht grew up in a suburban subdivision of Boston’s north shore. He developed his love of photography from his father who gave him his first 110 camera. He attended the University of Massachusetts Amherst to pursue a Fine Art degree in printmaking before graduating from Boston’s New England School of Photography where he studied portraiture and advertising. Paul relishes in the individual, details of personal spaces and the intimacy created within in an image.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">KARDIONIC VERNISSAGE</span></h2>
<br />
For those of you unable to make the vernissage for Terry Gambarotto's ground breaking show KARDIONIC I wanted to share some of the fun of that night. Enjoy.<br />
<br />
If you are looking for something to do on Sunday's during this show and are intrigued by the cutting edge technology that Terry uses to create these visceral, organic works he will be in the gallery each week from 1 to 5 pm.<br />
<br />
Looking for something to do on <b>Valentines Day</b>? Terry and his trio will be performing both the KARDIONIC performance and will be adding the World Premiere of OPERATIONS!<br />
To book a seat please give me a call at 416-406-6772. Seating is limited so get yours reserved today!<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">James Huctwith lives and works in downtown Toronto. Born in 1967, he was raised in rural Southern Ontario. He attended Cayuga Secondary School from 1981 until 1986, graduating with honours from Grade Thirteen. Afterwards, he studied fine art for three years at the University of Guelph, primarily interested in theory, history and architecture. After this, he lived in Vancouver in the early ‘90’s where he first began to paint and exhibit. Returning to Toronto in 1995, he began producing and exhibiting professionally with the O’Connor Gallery. He was with the gallery for a decade. The next three years were marked by personal upheaval and marked changes. In the spring of 2005, Huctwith joined Gallery Jones in Vancouver for two years, and produced a run of 'colder' non-figurative works, in contrast to the O’Connor shows which had been physically and emotionally explicit. Huctwith left O'Connor and joined Galerie Harwood near Montreal, also for two years, starting in 2006. The work produced for this gallery was marked primarily by considered re-interpretations of the still life genre. Feeling it was time to regroup and rediscover where he wanted to go with the work, Huctwith moved all his work back to Ontario, placing past work with Antonio Arch Fine Arts Ltd. in Toronto, and signing up with Galerie La Petite Mort in Ottawa. His first show there, in the fall of 2009, was a success. Both published and regularly reviewed, his work is collected both nationally and internationally. James is now represented by Pentimento Fine Art Gallery. To view work that is available please visit our website at www.pentimento.ca .</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;">Over the last few months a small team of 3, Brigitte Gall, TV host, comedienne and City Councillor of Minden Ontario, Victoria Ward, Artist and playwright and blogger and myself have quietly been working towards a new series of evenings here at Pentimento in the tradition of the salons that took place in Europe during the late 1800's. These evenings are meant as a means to bring together Art, Music, Science and Politics in the same room and to see what happens when worlds collide. In our trial evenings so far we have had guests like John Nash, a genome physicist with Health Canada, Graeme Lottering who gave us an amazing talk on the history of pigment, celtic fiddler Lennan Delaney who recently travelled Europe with Frank McCourt and his brother and Artist/Actress Kirsten Johnson who through humor and pathos gave us her view of the world now and in the future.</span></div>

What made the evening even more fun was that unbeknownst to Richard Crouse a very dear friend of mine Meg Walter was in the audience. Meg played Sister Meg in the Ken Russell film The Devils. At the end of their conversation we brought Meg to the stage and introduced them all. Suffice it to say that Richard's mind was blown.</div>

PENTIMENTO FINE ART GALLERY</h3>
<h3>
is very pleased to announce that 50% of the works were sold on opening night. Don't miss your chance to see these amazing works before November 25th! The Fates and the Furies is the fourth series from artist Troy Brooks. His paintings of surreal female characters have sparked a flurry of interest with Toronto art collectors. The complex women in his paintings weave haunted tales that escape merely one interpretation. "This show is my most diverse group of characters," says the artist. "The theme and the one thing that ties these women together is a sense of being divided. They are all experiencing a self-segregation." The Globe and Mail has called Troy's work "alluring, alarming" and "a shimmering cast of characters." The buzz is starting to grow around this exciting new emerging artist!</h3>

His fascination with the natural world reaches back into childhood. From a very young age he noticed and studied the world around him, the soil and stone beneath his feet and the sky above. He pondered passage of time, the elements and their relentless effect on the surface of our world. He pondered the patterns that these forces created, and continually altered. He also pondered the human presence within this natural realm, the intrusive hand of man, altering and scarring the surface of this planet, and the unending battle for natural order to reclaim and rebuild from season to season.</b></span></div>

<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">The creative process for these pieces began with a router. With both conscious control and the occasional "accidents", the artist's hands wielded the power tool to create recessions, patterns within the wood. Gary acknowledges the pivotal impact of late Canadian artist Peterson Ewen, in introducing him to this approach. There is a palpable physicality in these large wooden paintings The rigorous act of gouging into the wood is evident, retained in each piece. Gary then applies acrylic plasters, in varying thickness, to specific areas on the wood; a partial rebuilding of the surface. A tearing away is followed by a building up. Overlays of oil paint are then applied, exuding rich and vibrant colour, pulled from the varied pallette of the earth itself.</span></b></div>

<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">In FEAST FOR THE PRINCE the artist expands his work to include works based on the hanging and curing of meat. "I have begun to see the surface of the earth as a kind of flesh, something that reminds me of my own body; the tearing away of rock and soil by wind and water as equivalent to my own aging and deterioration." (Artist Statement, 2012).</span></b></div>

<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Seven paintings reveal this process, depicting hanging portions of locally farmed or caught Moose, Deer and cattle. The exposed inner layers of flesh in works such as Husk and display are clinically visceral; this was the stuff of a living thing, blood once coursed through that tissue. Two or three flattened areas of pure colour provide a simplified yet charged backdrop for the animal segments, causing them to leap forward into the viewer's eye and mind. The artist confirms an homage to the past with this series, drawing inspiration from Rembrandt's Carcass of Beef or Flayed OX of 1655, and the Beef Carcas paintings of the early 20th century by Chaim Soutine.</span></b></div>

WORKS BY WIL SIMPSON</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Wil Simpson's work has refreshed iconic imagery and brought it into a modern context that appeals to both young and old alike. His exploration of imagery using a series of 8 small green army men from his childhood planted his earlier works in a series of decades epitomized by War and it's aftermath. His latest body of work NOTORIOUS introduces the bevy of beauties who scandalized society with their progressive roles in what was to become the feminist movement.</div>

Pentimento Fine Art Gallery is pleased to now be the official representative of the work of Kirsten Johnson</h2>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I first met Kirsten Johnson as an emerging young actress during an audition at the CBC in the late 1980's. To this day I remember that meeting and the intriguing woman that is and was Kirsten. Most of our chat focussed on the narrow scope of interest for Hollywood producers and the vast potential to improve what was on offer to the masses. Over the years I have reveled in the many fine performances that this fearless actress has given both on stage and in the films of directors like David Cronenberg, Jeremy Podeswa and Daniel MacIvor.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Imagine my surprise when years later after having left the CBC I discovered another facet to this woman I had no idea existed. While over at a clients home for dinner one evening I was totally enthralled with a portrait that hung on their wall. The work held my attention throughout a very animated dinner party and when I had the chance I asked my host who had painted it for them. It was not a very far jump from theatre fan to being a fan of her explorations on canvas. Kirsten had hooked me again! I am very excited to be able to share her work with you all now through the gallery. Kirsten will be taking part in the upcoming Salon here at Pentimento and I am excited to introduce you to her. Here are some examples of Kirsten's works and a small film she has recently created for you to peruse and enjoy. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Salon runs from June 7 to July 15th with the Vernissage taking place on June 7 from 6-9pm.<br />

<i><u>FUEL: works by Gary Blundell</u></i></h2>

<div style="text-align: center;">
at the Clarington Visual Arts Centre</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
May 27-June 24, 2012</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</h4>
<div>
This past Sunday I attended the opening reception for Gary's work at the Clarington Visual Arts Centre located in beautiful downtown Bowmanville, Ontario. The gallery is housed in what appears to be an old mill located next to a wonderful babbling stream. Upon entering the gallery space you are confronted by Gary's vibrantly patterned large scale works of geological strata and patterns developed by the passage of time on the landscapes around us. The work is invigourating, complex and filled with color. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In a small side room off of the main floor space Gary is presenting a new series of work dealing with the aging process in meat. The works are smaller in scale but just as complex in detail as the larger works. The palate is fresh and appealing. I spent a lot of time in this room before heading upstairs to the third floor space.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Entering the third floor space was it's own religious experience. The room itself is fantastic with large wooden pillars and beams exposed and in some places still showing the remnants of the hundreds of birds that at one point made this their home. Here Gary has presented his latest works based on the mining industry in Northern England. Gary received a Canada Council grant to travel to England last summer and to explore the remnants of a once thriving mining industry laid waste by the Thatcher government. These works will be a travelling exhibition in England in 2014. The patterns presented represent the visual experiences of miners deep beneath the earth's crust. The works are dark and moving. The attention to detail from the wonderful musical soundscape which accompanies the work transports you to another time and another place.</div>

<b><i><u>FUEL</u></i></b></h2>
<br />
"The work of Gary Blundell reveals a life-long exploration of observed patterns in the landscape. His paintings embody these patterns found in rock and earth, etched by countless eons of wind and rain, receding ice, and by the intrusive hand of man. In his large oils, done on wood panel, it is the artist's hand that transforms material. "I use a router to tear into my surfaces and acrylic plasters to build them up. They mimic how the land is transformed over time by human activity." The paintings exude rich and vibrant colour, pulled from the varied palette of the earth itself. In a recent series of "Figure" paintings depicting hanging portions of locally raised or caught moose and deer, the artist equates the patterns and transformations of animal flesh to that of the earth. As does the surface of the earth, the body erodes, deteriorates with time, eventually revealing the underlying structure of bone and sinew.<br />

In May 2011, Gary visited numerous collieries in North and West Yorkshire, England. He came to know the people, the miners who drew their life sustaining "Fuel" from the earth. A remarkable series of "Coal" paintings resulted. We see the patterns found at the feet of the miners, illuminated by their lamps as they wander the underground. A trained Geologist, Gary completed an Hon. B. Science in Earth Sciences from the University of Waterloo. He and his partner, artist Victoria Ward, live in a cabin in the woods near Gooderham, Ontario. As seasons shift, snow and ice recede to reveal new patterns in soil and rock, a continual reformation; the artist's own backyard providing source material, "Fuel", for his creative vision."<br />

TROPHY LOVERS is very quick to engage the viewer who inevitably believe Jane's work to be photographic. Due to the nature of the work it's photo realistic quality can definitely fool the eye. Upon closer inspection the viewers are startled to discover that these are in fact paintings and that the amount of work is quite staggering. As a result I have asked Jane to supply me with some images to further explain her process. Here in a nutshell is how Jane is able to create these wonderful works:</div></div><div><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDu1p1rOB6PL_pyJkVjTXpzKcQOpDznqYBHAWs24Gx5gIPREDCLOfhzKHmJcfO5DWITIRTDHRcCT64OWI3vEBQtlapqx9e1cwvzz3P74Oag2eUeXzPrmRgGwOYF4norPqXUlmSsdHV-7A/s1600/Stage+1+Close+up.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDu1p1rOB6PL_pyJkVjTXpzKcQOpDznqYBHAWs24Gx5gIPREDCLOfhzKHmJcfO5DWITIRTDHRcCT64OWI3vEBQtlapqx9e1cwvzz3P74Oag2eUeXzPrmRgGwOYF4norPqXUlmSsdHV-7A/s400/Stage+1+Close+up.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5730193417196091794" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;">Jane starts by positioning the trophy hardware in her desired position.
