Richard A. Jacobson

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 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.

Richard A. Jacobson presents a new collection of work inspired by artificial intelligence and the legend of Robert Johnson - the famed guitarist who was rumored to have sold his soul to the devil, after a chance encounter at a crossroads, in exchange for supernatural playing ability. 12:06 AM, One Artist’s Response to the A.I. 'Crisis’ reimagines this legend, positioning the artist as Johnson and A.I. as the trade. Is the use of A.I. stripping artists of their very soul? A.I. is the most recent technological advancement touted to be the “death” of artists, and this collection reflects the anxiety that accompanies such grim predictions. Yet the very existence of an art show suggests hope.

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.
