Rob Ford wants back in.

“Rob Ford now says he wants council to reappoint him as mayor, not call a byelection, if he is forced out of office.” 

Translation: “I don’t have a hope in hell of being reelected, better route around democracy to maintain power”

City Lights, an exhibition of new paintings by Kyle Clements will be on display at Moore Gallery in Toronto from June 7 to June 30, 2012.

The opening reception will be held on Thursday, June 7th, from 6 to 8pm.

I’m really excited about this show. This is the first time that I’ve had enough of an established body of work that I wasn’t rushing around at the last minute, fighting to crank out enough work to display. For this show, I was able to pick a theme, look at my entire body of work, stand back and pick out a number of pieces that fit that theme. In this case, visual abundance - the density of images we come across in our daily lives from advertisements and videos to photos on social media, was something I was thinking about. I selected paintings that were based on collages of images taken from time-lapse photography sequences, where I was literally choosing one or two images from thousands of possibilities and combining them into digital collages emphasizing speed, abundance, and visual density.

I’ve created a Facebook fan page for those who are interested in getting the latest updates or leaving comments or getting a sneak peek at what’s in store for this show:
