Headwaters Arts Art Festival: Phenom

The Headwaters Arts exhibition, “Phenom“, is open now through October 6, 2019 at the Alton Mill Arts Centre in Alton, Caledon, Ontario. The exhibition includes six of Peter’s works: “Reaching”, “Red Sumac”, “Lakeside Sumac”, “Killarney Dawn”, “Three Pines” and “Three Cormorants”.

I will be at the Alton Mill from 10am to 5pm on Sunday, September 29 and would love to chat. Come for an autumn drive and spend an enjoyable time with art. There is a cafe on site for coffee, light meals and snacks.

Tranquility Art Exhibition in Caledon

Peter’s award-winning, Zen-inspired art exhibition, “Tranquility”, is now installed and open at the Headwaters Arts Gallery at the Alton Mill Arts Centre in Alton, Caledon, Ontario. Everyone is invited to attend the opening reception, which will take place on Saturday, October 15, from 1 to 4pm. The works were first exhibited at Abbozzo Gallery, where Peter is represented, in Toronto in 2015, and sold over two and a quarter times over at the initial showing with Saks Fifth Avenue from New York City purchasing two complete sets to represent Canadian Art at the two stores they opened in Toronto this year. Works from the exhibition have received international awards including “Best Work By An Emerging Artist” by the Ontario Society of Artists and “Best of 2015″ by the American Society of Media Photographers (ASMP). All 19 pieces are available for purchase in limited editions in three sizes: framed to 21 x 17″, 29 x 29″, and 42 x 42”.

The photographs in the exhibition can be seen in detail in their gallery on this website.

“In today’s world, the eyes and the soul are assaulted by a myriad of things, causing us to lose our focus, become scattered, and even blinded to the simple beauty hidden around us. Peter Dusek is an international award-winning Canadian photographer whose toned black and white photographs give us a glimpse of this hidden beauty, a beauty hidden like a special shell amongst the pebbles on a beach. Inspired by the simplicity of Zen, Peter places a strong emphasis on balance and negative space and his artistic design goal is “as little as possible, as much as necessary”, giving an almost abstract quality to his intimate landscapes. His style embodies the Japanese design aesthetic of shibumi, which means “a quiet elegance”. In this simplicity can be found the tranquility and perhaps even the happiness that often eludes us.”
