    In occasion of the participation to the Venice Biennale’s Padiglione Italia in the World, De Luca Fine Arts / Gallery presents Vincenzo Pietropaolo in Retrospective.

    The exhibitions shows over 40 years of works by Toronto based photographer Pietropaolo. His honest and poetic images move us, documenting instants of Italian immigrants’ challenging everyday life (Not Paved With Gold); telling the little-known story of Canada’s migrant workers (Harvest Pilgrims); and, more recently, capturing images and telling stories of an invisible minority whose members often live and die unacknowledged and unremembered (Invisible No More: A Photographic Chronicle of People with Intellectual Disabilities).

    “I summarized my work as something that may be apprehended through reading, eating, and playing. All are the themes that have grown out of an abiding fascination with a pivotal movement of Cubism,” wrote the artist. This exhibition embedded Dutch Panter cigar tins, food lids, and wine corks into essentially minimalist paintings.[/column]

    Burges began working on his Reverse Glass Painting series in 2007, inspired by the shiny surface of Diasec mounting technology prevalent in contemporary photography. Burges’ non-figurative paintings can be called “lyrical” or “expressionist”, “informal” or “gestural” at the same time. Burges painting follows an almost scientific plan and development, systematically exploring the aesthetic possibilities of colour and space and their relations, as well as those of the painting to the viewer and vice versa.
