Harold Klunder: Black Sun

Opening this Thursday on January 26th at the Clint Roenisch Gallery (944 Queen St W) is the latest installment from artist Harold Klunder entitled, Black Sun. The opening of the installment kicks off at 7pm and will be on display until the end of February. We will definitely be in attendance for the launch tomorrow and anyone with an appreciation for art should check it out as well.

Here's what you need to know about the exhibition:

Black Sun is a solo show of paintings from 1986 to 2011 by Harold Klunder, the Dutch-born, Montreal-based painter widely regarded as one of Canada's most compelling. The exhibition marks the artist's fourth solo since joining the gallery when it opened in 2003. The title of the exhibition is taken from of a large, new triptych painted over the course of four years and being shown here for the first time. Also included are small, very recent paintings made over a four-month period in Brooklyn and a rare, eight-foot high oil from 1986 entitled Sacred And Profane Love (Self-Portrait I) which was last shown in New York in 1990 at the 49th Parallel.
