Same Old Shit

Peter Harris’ “Evening With Hopper” at Godard Gallery.

Opening on Saturday, April 29th, 2017 at Godard Gallery in Toronto, Canada is artist Peter Harris’ “Evening With Hopper.”

Nocturnes of peculiar delight abound from the canvases of artist Peter Harris, his latest body of work being a tribute to another master of such scenery, Edward Hopper.  “Edward Hopper and Lawren Harris,” Harris explains, “are two such artists whose iconic imagery still resonates, and whose reputation casts a long shadow over all artists working within the genre. In the exhibition ‘Evening with Hopper’ I began by meticulously recreating their historical paintings in miniature and framing them within current urban architecture. I wanted their historical depictions to be subsumed by the modern, acknowledging the power of their legacy while challenging their continued relevancy to a contemporary audience.”

“Evening With Hopper” will be on view until May 27th, 2017.
