Torontorians:Join the Sudanese artist Amir Shingray in the opening of his exhibition

Snow - Don Russell and Amir Shingray - Nov 27, 2008 + Start date: 27/11/2008 End date: 17/01/2009
From November 27 to December 14, and then January 7-17, Don Russell and Amir Shingray join forces in a two-person show called "Snow." Don Russell came to Ontario from a childhood in Newfoundland that included camping in snow drifts as high as he was while Amir Shingray came to Ontario from eastern Sudan where snow was almost beyond imagination. Each in his own way has studied the (surprisingly modest) place of snowscapes in both the history of Canadian painting and in contemporary painting, and learned from innovators from Franz Johnson to Jean-Paul Lemieux to David Milne to Peter Doig. For "Snow", each in his own way is producing work for the show that is guaranteed to forge new paths in connecting art, winter and what it means to be Canadian
