Tiffany Bozic

Sanguine 30” x 40” acrylic on maple panel, 2014

Tiffany Bozic creates wonderful visual metaphors in her surrealistic nature and animal paintings.

David Caesar

I came across David Caesar's work while looking at some of the entries for the 2015 Kingston Prize. The Kingston Prize is a Portrait Painting competition and one of the biggest art prizes in Canada, happening every other year for many years now. Caesar’s beautifully rendered paintings are reminiscent of some of those Canadian painter Alexander Coleville.  I really appreciate his superfine craftsmanship and tremendous attention to detail.

Tony Luciani

Tony Luciani is a Toronto based artist that I greatly admire. The detail in the tree leaves on his painting "Down by the River" is astounding. This painting reminds me of a Danielle Richard in its style (though she almost exclusively chooses female subjects) backlighting and colouring.

Ian Bodnaryk

September 18, 19  & 20 I will be showing my art alongside fellow Toronto painter Ian Bodnaryk at the Toronto Outdoor Art Exhibition in Nathan Phillips Square at City Hall.
Ian's paintings show his impressive skill at capturing realistic qualities of light and dimension.

Jacek Yerka

Jacek Yerka's imagination blows my mind. His finely crafted paintings and pastels bring his wonderful ideas to life in delightful and vivid scenes.

Nicola Verlato

One of his Zero Gravity series. Nicola Verlato paints super dynamic large scale realistic works in oil, which he designs using the software usually used to create computer special effects for the movies. His imagination depicting the instant of a car crash at impact is fantastic and his painting is impeccable, capturing subtle nuances of light, shade and colour with paint.

Marco Grassi

I think the degree of detail that Italian painter Marco Grassi includes in his highly realistic portraits is fantastic. The pores of the woman's face and the little threads of the fabric on the shawl are really amazing, such patience!
