Gardens of Misfortune: Recap

~

July 29th kicked off the opening for my two-person show with Jonathan Bergeron at The Yves LaRoche Gallery in Montreal, QC.

First of all, Yves Laroche with the help of his amazing sidekick Ximenna Becerra, and cast of gallery employees, runs a class act operation.  The only downside to working with such a legitimately dedicated gallery, is that I will constantly be holding every other gallery to their standard of excellence.     I think a lot of galleries in the US could stand to learn a lot from Yves' model...starting with uncompromising integrity.

The opening was full of great people that were more than willing to speak English with me despite my total lack of French vocabulary.  I intend to learn enough to get by before I go back to Montreal, which will hopefully be sooner than later.

You can view the entire show online HERE.  Last I had heard, most of my paintings were already sold, you'll have to contact the gallery if you're interested in a specific piece.

Along with the paintings, I have two exclusive Giclee prints available through the gallery, each hand-signed and numbered on paper SO high-quality I'd almost call it fabric! :

Mycellium: availabe HERE. 

Oviparity: Available HERE.  (This print is GIGANTIC, 21" x 20"!)

ALSO, we released our exclusive faux-bronze collaborative resin statue:

MISFORTUNATE TRAVELERS: Available HERE.

In conclusion, this was the best gallery experience I've had thus far and cannot thank my new Montreal family enough for their warmth, hospitality and professionalism.

**Also, I have to thank my pal over at Montrealvinyl for the photos that I stole for this post, check out his photos of opening night HERE.
