November 14 – December 05, 2024

Marco Sassone: Urban Scapes

November 14 – December 20, 2019

Marco Sassone’s eighteen new paintings are characterized, as in earlier work, by powerfully converging lines that entice the viewer’s eye into their highly textured surfaces. They revisit the artist’s familiar turbulent compositions that frame a distant skyscraper in New York or the vista of a street perspective in downtown Toronto. Also included in the exhibition are intimate paintings that evoke the soul of Venice—a city that Sassone has long celebrated as his spiritual home. His images distill the essence of that vital inner life in the reflective waters of its canals, where the city itself appears to drift in ever shifting surfaces, and where the facades of great houses and palazzi are blended and consumed.
