With his canvas, brushes and oils André Krigar travels the world to capture urban- scapes and moments of life as he experiences them while portraying them.

From Berlin, Germany André travels to Toronto, Canada for his first time. In this exhibition De Luca Fine Art | Gallery presents a series of works that depict our city through the eyes of this traveller artist.

André Krigar is a contemporary painter, who is very comfortable in allowing the strong impressionistic influence in his paintings. They hide something magic. The longer one looks, the more difficult it becomes to turn away. André beautifully captures or even interprets (which gives it that magic touch of what it could appear “naïve” at first) that exact light, of that exact moment when he was there painting. André’s use of colours and the Monet-like manner of conducting the brush on the canvas create a “real” feeling of being there, “inside the painting”. One can almost smell and hear the subject.

De Luca Fine Art | Gallery, established in 2004, is now located at 217 Avenue Road, in the heart of the Yorkville Designer District steps away from the Designers Walk and is dedicated to representing and introducing Italian and International Artists to Canadian audiences. In collaboration with select Italian Galleries, De Luca Fine Art | Gallery introduces established and emerging Canadian Artists to Europe. De Luca Fine Art | Gallery’s mandate is “representing a bridge” between Cultures.
