CANFAR will host the 28th edition of its marquee fundraiser, Bloor Street Entertains, on Thursday, November 28, 2024, with the official After Party once again taking over the Aria Ballroom at Four Seasons Hotel Toronto.

My painting, Love Actually: Coming to America (Revisited), will be featured in the auction to highlight CANFAR’s Bold Actions to end the HIV epidemic in Canada, including our focus on funding strategic implementation projects in communities across the country. 

"The painting illustrates a passionate portrayal of a kiss. The rich browns and shades of black create a sense of tranquillity, while the addition of red adds tension, evoking connections to love and passion. Cornwall uses various techniques involving hand drawings, digitally removing the human hand, and reintroducing the human hand into his work, creating paintings intended to be viewed in person.

The painting conveys a profound sense of hope and reflection, encouraging viewers to reflect on love, race, relationships, sex, culture, nature, and other themes. Love Actually: Coming to America (Revisited) captures a deep connection between love, culture, and the human experience, leaving a lasting impression on the viewer, encouraging them to interact and add their meaning and interpretation to the conversation."  - CANFAR 

I hope my art can help bring awareness to CANFAR's fundraising initiative.

Aye Aye! August is coming in hot! I'm thrilled to announce my participation in the upcoming art show "Believing in Tomorrow" in Philadelphia, curated by PxP Contemporary! I want to give a shout-out to the amazing gallerist Alicia Puig. This is a special moment for me as it'll be the first time one of my paintings will be on display for viewing in person at NoName Gallery in Chestnut Hill, Philadelphia. I'm looking forward to sharing this exciting experience with "ya"ll!

Inspired by NoName’s mission of creating a cultural space where visitors can enjoy diverse selections of urban, pop, abstract, and contemporary art, Alicia Puig of PxP Contemporary curated a dynamic array of over 50 artworks to be exhibited in the Chestnut Hill gallery during the month of August.

As the famed German painter Gerhard Richter once wrote, “Art is the highest form of hope.” The power of art isn’t only showing us what is or can be beautiful - it also has a way of opening up discussions, reigniting our imagination, and reminding us that there is still a future worth believing in. With these sentiments in mind, this exhibition has the simple aim of inviting the community to enjoy uplifting artwork in a welcoming environment. From fresh florals and eye-catching abstracts to whimsical sculptures and graphic urban paintings, this collection will appeal to a variety of aesthetic tastes. An eclectic exhibition not to be missed, “Believing In Tomorrow” highlights talent from across Philadelphia as well as several artists who will be exhibiting in the area for the first time ever.

An opening reception will be held on Friday, August 2nd from 5-8pm and is free and open to the public. Stop by to meet several of the exhibiting artists who will be in attendance that evening. All artworks will be available for sale both in person at the gallery and online. Questions can be directed to Alicia Puig: info@pxpcontemporary.com or Jonene Lee: nonamegalleryphilly@gmail.com

Featured artists: Charlie J. Meyers, Erika Stearly, Jacqueline Tse, Kat Collins, Kendra Dandy, Kestin Cornwall, Margot Dermody, Megan Coonelly, Phyllis Gorsen, Piya Samant, Shiri Phillips, and Steph Blondet.

I'm excited to participate in the upcoming "THE ART OF THE GAME," show in Chicago this September! As a kid, I would spend hours in my room drawing the Chicago Bulls logo over and over. I loved the shape, and how seeing the number 23 and the Bulls made me feel like anything was possible. I loved the team's vibe and hoped we could have a vibe like that in Toronto one day.

All-Star Press and the Chicago Bulls are excited to present "THE ART OF THE GAME," a fully immersive visual art exhibition exploring the iconic history and deep-rooted presence of The Chicago Bulls. This officially licensed, one-of-a-kind event memorializes the prolific team's successes and history within the context of art and visual culture. "THE ART OF THE GAME" features Kayla Mahaffey, Langston Allston, me and a curated lineup of artists whose work embodies distinctive experiences, memories, and connections to the Chicago Bulls to capture the unique story of the team's legacy. 

A central element of the show is its focus on giving back; a portion of the proceeds made from the event will go to Chicago Bulls Charities, which focuses its efforts on four areas: education, community investment, health and wellness, and youth opportunity. 

The show will be held at the United Center, 1901 W Madison St, Chicago, IL, on September 3rd, 2022 and will feature an entirely new body of work from a list of artists. All artists bring their interpretation of the Chicago Bulls in mediums ranging from original paintings to sculpture to digital designs and limited edition prints.

PXP Contemporary X Showfields

I'm featured in a new show with Showfields NY. The exhibition is curated by Alicia Puig, Co-founder of PXP Contemporary. Showfields has had past hosts such as Maria Brito, Larry Ossei Mensah and others.

Here's more about the inspiration behind this curation:

"After spending most of 2020 indoors within the confines of our homes, we feel a collective longing for both nature and connection. These are two themes that are inherently a part of the artists' works that I've selected for this curation. Some present the human form immersed in a landscape or other natural environment, while others compose images with figures alongside animals, flowers, and insects. Working in the mediums of collage and painting, these artists remind us to appreciate the profound beauty of our surroundings and of the importance of having respect for it now and in the years to come.

These works also act as documentation of life as an artist during the pandemic. While they, like everyone else, experienced loss, grief, anxiety, frustration, and fear - like nature itself, they also went through periods of growth and renewal. For me, bringing together this collection of artists is a manifestation of the belief that 2021 will indeed allow for more opportunities to connect with the environment, ourselves, and each other. It's a sigh of relief, or rather, a breath of fresh air." - Alicia Puig
