About this Event

Flavio Belli has been an active contributor and participant, including as an artist and curator and gallerist, in the Toronto cultural scene since the late 1960s. He has artworks included in Another DECADE, and was also invited to curate additional artists into the exhibition, including Richard Hambleton (1952-2017) - a Canadian-American graffiti artist best known for his recurring motif of a black-silhouetted figure known as the Shadowman - and Zack Atticus, an emerging Toronto-based painter.


Hear Belli speak about his own artworks and those of Hambleton before we shift the spotlight to Zack Atticus, speaking about his approach to finding quiet corners of the city to capture in smaller-scale, intricate paintings. The audience will be welcome to ask questions as well.


Flavio Belli is an unusually dynamic cultural figure, working as an artist, gallerist, curator, programmer, consultant, collector, facilitator, and advocate in both the public and private sectors. Based at his studio/office at Youngplace since 2019, Flavio challenges boundaries that often exist between artistic and administrative practices; between independent and organizational activities. Taking into consideration his role as both artist and multi-faceted cultural instigator, the exhibition ‘Another DECADE’ includes artworks by Flavio and work by other artists that he has selected especially for the show.

Zach Atticus received his Bachelor of Design in 2015 from the Ontario College of Art and Design University majoring in illustration. His evocative oil paintings depict quiet Toronto side streets and lamplit scenes that are unmistakably nondescript yet imbued with the tension that arises from solitary late-night strolls. They reflect the candid nature of his photography rather than planned photographs. Atticus has mastered the depiction of artificial luminescence as seen through a camera lens, complete with flare as well as “ghosting”. The blue dot is a type of “light artifact” that is the shape of the lens being reflected into the record of the photograph and his paintings. It is also symptomatic of iPhone lenses as well.
