The Cousins (2007) 30.5 x 35.5cm
Rockonski is happy as a pair of boobs to present Homesick, Tonik Wojtyra's first solo exhibit ever. The show opens October 2 and runs to October 31. Please join the artist for the opening the morning of October 2 at 8 am - 11 am. The show takes place at 71 Havelock St. Toronto, ON - M6H3B3 KANADA
In Homesick, Tonik presents a multifarious chronicle culminating 30 months of painting at 71 Havelock Street in Toronto. Produced and presented in situ, the works on exhibit explore painting's relationship to architecture, abstraction, genealogy, dreams, promises, lies and it's ability to affect. Tonik explains:
>"It sucks ass but I have to move. Man, I learned to cook here. I wrote a book here. I mastered paint here. What haven't I done here? I have the best balcony, to boot. And although the tide has turned for the better and all? I feel sick about it. I really love this place, man. I don't wanna go but I can't stay either. The best way for me to talk about it is to show my Art within its first frame as Daniel Buren calls the studio. Let's have a cup of tea, a cookie, a chat, a smoothie, some eggs, oatmeal, sausages, yogurt, let's get high or whatever. I'm inviting you. I miss you."
A book will be published to accompany the show.
