Tessar Lo at Show & Tell.

Show & Tell Gallery opens it's doors to Tessar Lo's "everything we wanted, in our nostalgic future", his first Canadian solo exhibition. Lo's new work explores the importance of wonder, which sadly tends to fade as we get older. I'm not sure when the last time I felt sincere wonder was...awww, stay golden Ponyboy.

"everything we wanted, in our nostalgic future" is universal, stories that speak to the soul, creating a feeling of awe, comfort, and inspiration, all the while embracing the imagination. The combination between narration and wonder creates vignettes of possibilities, dreamscapes with no specific time and of no specific location, genuine moments which occur with in us all.

"everything we wanted, in our nostalgic future," opens February 5th, 2010. The painting Friendship, below, reminds me of this video: The Animal Odd Couple.
