Art Show & Sale - THE VIEW. Paintings by Melba Hank - Origo Books Gallery

June 27, 2011 - PRLog -- Origo Books Gallery is proud to showcase a selection of acrylic and oil paintings by local visual artist MELBA HANK.

Color and shape are not enough to fully grasp a state of mind, and most subjects are so elusive that they usually get maimed after being translated by the artist brain so the hand can reflect it on canvas. A blink, a snapshot, a glimpse, a snippet... that's all the artist is able to pass along. HANK's intuitive skills guide him to that labyrinth's exit and put him among those able to move freely through the ever present duality of décor and mindfulness.

MELBA HANK is a Torontonian performer and visual artist. In his early years he studied advanced pantomime and contemporary dance in France with the great master Marcel Marceau, but his interest in the Fine Arts has never been limited to the performing forms. Painting also came naturally to him as another way to materialize his life-long interest in ancient arts and his profound urge to channel thoughts and experiences.

Opening date: Friday July 8, 2011 at 5:00pm. The art show & sale will continue until August 6, 2011. Located at the store's mezzanine, the Origo Books Gallery is open Monday to Saturday, 10am to 7pm.
