Brian Harvey

Abbozzo Gallery is pleased to present Perfect Days, a group exhibition of work by represented artists. This collection of paintings and photography includes pieces that are contemplative, filled with emotion and embody an appreciation for shifts in nature, the movement of urban landscapes and the tenderness of relationships. From season to season in rural Ontario, downtown Toronto and household interiors, fragments of everyday life are beautifully captured by each of these artists.

This theme was inspired by the Japanese film of the same title, Perfect Days.

We're thrilled to welcome back Brian Harvey for his third solo exhibition at Abbozzo Gallery. Harvey's chosen subject, the everyday fabric of Toronto's streets, corners, and locales, produces a universal, familiar effect - that feeling of deja vu or that sense of "I swear that is just by my house" - that is felt by viewers far outside the bounds of Toronto itself.

This exhibition, 'When the Time Comes,' is particularly strong, demonstrating Harvey's technical ability as not only a painter but as a preserver of Toronto's ephemera, eulogizing the dog-eared diners, the industrial buildings that have long since closed, and the hyper-evolving landscape of the city itself. 'When the Time Comes' pays reverence to the inevitable slipping of time, while allowing us to stop the clock all together.

We are so excited to celebrate 30 years of community, 30 years of art for the love of art and 30 years of Abbozzo Gallery with our retrospective exhibition; an exhibition celebrating not just this milestone but the artists that have made this day possible.

We are pleased to present Salon Abbozzo, a summer exhibition that is the confluence between a traditional gallery environment and the home of a collector with an eclectic eye for art and design. In collaboration with The Apartment, we transformed the space into an alluring salon experience by displaying curated vintage furniture including lighting, mirrors, kitchenware, and fine art together.
