From Berlin, Germany Andr\u00e9 travels to Toronto, Canada for his first time.<\/p>\n<p>In this exhibition De Luca Fine Art | Gallery presents a series of works that depict our city through the eyes of this traveller artist. Andr\u00e9 Krigar is a contemporary painter, who is very comfortable in allowing the strong impressionistic influence in his paintings. They hide something magic. The longer one looks, the more difficult it becomes to turn away. Andr\u00e9 beautifully captures or even interprets (which gives it that magic touch of what it could appear \u201cna\u00efve\u201d at first) that exact light of that exact moment when he was there painting.<\/p>\n<p>Andr\u00e9\u2019s use of colours and the Monet-like manner of conducting the brush on the canvas create a \u201creal\u201d feeling of being there, \u201cinside the painting\u201d. One can almost smell and hear the subject.<\/p>\n<p><strong>De Luca Fine Art | Gallery<\/strong>, established in 2004, is now located at 217 Avenue Road, in the heart of the Yorkville Designer District steps away from the Designers Walk and is dedicated to representing and introducing Italian and International Artists to Canadian audiences. In collaboration with select Italian Galleries, De Luca Fine Art | Gallery introduces established and emerging Canadian Artists to Europe. De Luca Fine Art | Gallery\u2019s mandate is \u201crepresenting a bridge\u201d between Cultures.\u00a0 For more information regarding this event and\/or our services, consultation, and art rental program please visit <a><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.delucafineart.com\">www.delucafineart.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>October 5 &#8211;  28, 2011<\/strong><br \/> <br \/>\nOpening: Wednesday, October 5,  6 &#8211; 9 p.m<\/p>\n<p><strong>De Luca Fine Art | Gallery<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>This show  marks the first exhibition at the De Luca Fine Art | Gallery new location, at 217 Avenue Road, Toronto.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"more-link-p\"><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/?p=3352\">Read more &rarr;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3353,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3352","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-listings_archive"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3352","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3352"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3352\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4735,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3352\/revisions\/4735"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/3353"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3352"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3352"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3352"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
