The works are awe-inspiring in their combination of painterly skills and provocative conceptual strains. In Quinn\u2019s work, sublime backgrounds meet broken-down foregrounds, and at all turns utopian ideals are acknowledged and critiqued. Death, deceit, and decay are also dragged into the frame.&#8221; -from the web site of the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, where Quinn&#8217;s latest paintings are featured April 22 &#8211; June 17, 2012<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>May 11 &#8211; June 9, 2012<\/strong><br \/>\nOpening: Friday, May 11, 7 &#8211; 10 p.m.<\/p>\n<p><strong>PAUL PETRO CONTEMPORARY ART<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>combine landscapes in the vein of Claude Lorrain with fragments of history and mythology.<\/p>\n<p class=\"more-link-p\"><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/?p=9948\">Read more &rarr;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":9949,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9948","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\/9948","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=9948"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9948\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11981,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9948\/revisions\/11981"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/9949"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=9948"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=9948"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=9948"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
