Two Artists
Image property of Robert Vanderhorst.
I took a quick look at a gallery show down the street from my office on my lunch break. I saw it advertised last year, but never made it to there. Robert Vanderhorst is a surreal painter and has an exhibit called Two Artists at King & Jarvis. If you attend in the evening, there’s musical accompanyment by Nash the Slash. I really like surreal art and when I saw a review on this last year, I knew I couldn’t pass it up. The Canadian references in his paintings are nice to see and there are also some witty paintings such as “The Model Maker“, a homage to Vermeer’s painting style - a self portrait of Vanderhorst building a model airplane. The show is on for another couple of days…go see it. It’s free if you go during the day.
