Preview: Ryan Dineen & Jacques Oule – “Cityscrapes” @ Show & Tell Gallery

Posted by sven, March 3, 2010

Toronto’s Show & Tell Gallery continues to bring a succession of new and interesting artists to our attention and this time, it is the turn of Toronto homeboy Ryan Dineen.

Dineen portrays the landscape of the city with a level of edginess that we love – sombre, weathered, faded, decayed – evoking thoughts of past glories enjoyed within the setting. Fellow Toronto based […]
