2011 TORONTO INTERNATIONAL ART FAIR
Solo exhibition of Attila Richard Lukacs at Winsor Gallery Toronto International Art Fair, October 27 - 31 2011.
ART GALLERY OF HAMILTON
Attila Richard Lukacs from the Collection of Salah J. Bachir.
October 8 to December 31st, opening reception: Sunday October 23, 2 to 4pm
Salah J. Bachir’s collection of Attila Richard Lukacs’s work is unparalleled in its scope, representing the various series for which Lukacs has become well-known.
More than thirty works are on display, including grand portraits of decadent male nudes, poetic and mythological scenes, works from the artist’s military series, Polaroid photographs used as studies for paintings, as well as a new abstract painting that has drawn a lot of attention for its departure from the figurative. Consistent throughout the works is a highly engaging, mystical, allegorical component — images of fabled lovers and animalistic characters.
Over the years, Bachir’s astute selections have come to form a comprehensive collection of works by one of Canada's greatest contemporary painters.
