DAISUKE TAKEYA, Perfect World
Opening Reception: Thursday, June 10th, 2010, 6pm – 9pm
Exhibition runs until: July 31st, 2010
Christopher Cutts Gallery, 21 Morrow Avenue, Toronto, ON, 416 532 5566
Christopher Cutts Gallery is pleased to announce Daisuke Takeya in his 3rd solo exhibition at the gallery titled “Perfect World”.
“Perfect World” is an exhibition of oil paintings. When seen from a distance these Canadian and International landscapes appear abstract. The sky is predominant and is reminiscent of atmospheric colour field abstractions via Barnett Newman and Mark Rothko. Nevertheless a closer look reveals the existence of a diminutive low horizon cityscape along the bottom edge of the painting.
“Perfect World” suggests that perfection may be possible on earth depending on your perspective—despite cultural differences, and the uneasy relationship between cities and nature. The spirit of idealism, and the quest for balance and harmony, shines through in Baroque and Classical compositions, inviting one to escape through a window in time, toward a perfect world.
There will be a musical performance by deVah string quartet during the opening reception.
Additional information and publication-quality digital image files are available by calling Christopher Cutts or Laura Horne at 416-532-5566. The Gallery can also be reached by email at info@cuttsgallery.com See also: www.cuttsgallery.com <http://www.cuttsgallery.com>
