The Monte Clark Gallery is please to announce a solo exhibition by Montreal painter Guido Molinari.

6 November - 27 November, 2002
Opening reception: November 6. 6-8 PM
Artist in attendance

Guido Molinari's paintings have played a pivotal role within contemporary Canadian art history. Molinari's early abstractions, the black and white paintings, the vertical stripe paintings and his Quantifier series have equally combined to establish an authentic and resonant language. His paintings have been termed 'painting environments' in which colour-light, quantified in energies of mass, acquire a dialectic function. The colour-coded hard edge abstractions are without question spatial. Molinari has called the space he creates within his work 'fictional space' because "it happens in the mind and yet it involves the totality of perception". Molinari reminds us, through his work, that spatial existence is the primary condition of all living perception.

A dominant figure in Canadian art over the past 35 years, Guido Molinari is represented in most major museum collections in Canada and the USA, including The Museum of Modern Art in New York. His work has been the subject of numerous exhibitions, including comprehensive retrospectives at The National Gallery of Canada and The Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal.

Guido Molinari lives and works in Montreal, Quebec.
