DAVID GRAFF
GUILDED PLEASURES
OPENING THIS THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 18TH @ 5PM
Art Works Gallery is delighted to present Guilded Pleasures, a solo exhibition of new works by David Graff, opening Thursday, September 18th at 5 PM. Graff is a painter, gilder, and musician whose creative process is as unique as the works themselves.
Using solid substrates, he gilds them with precious metals, layers specialized pigments, and seals each piece in resin—creating shimmering artworks that capture and reflect their surroundings. Photographs can’t capture the depth, brilliance, and living quality of his paintings—you have to stand before them to truly experience how they transform a space.
Join us for the artist reception (free and open to the public) on September 18th from 5–8 PM

View the NEW ArtworkHow we humans live and occupy this beautiful place has been a constant exploration for me. Architecture, as a medium of formal space creation was my first pursuit, but painting on canvas has proven to be a more immediate and versatile adventure. Like design, it is the experience of exposing and imposing order on chaos, found in the wind current of a gust in leaves, surface tension at the crest of a wave, the vital life of captured blossoms.
Paint is a visceral medium and its shape on my canvas echoes the arc of my paddle stroke, and the balanced rhythm of my hiking stride. Paint sits on my canvas with the viscosity and velocity of the Pacific West Coast, heavy and dense, rich and textured, and rendered with joy. -

View the NEW Artwork“I’m interested in light, colour, mark, and the balance of spontaneity and control.” Todd draws his inspiration from nature, yet he does not seek to recreate any high realism in his paintings. His interest in the medium of paint is evident in his very tactile process of creation. He seeks freedom in his process, and balances the playful with informed, intentional decisions.
To look upon a work of Clark is to see evidence of years of controlled spontaneity, of an expectation for the unexpected and the confidence to never fear what might come as a result. It is evident that he simply loves to paint. -

View the NEW ArtworkFor me, creating art and cultivating happiness are two parts of the same process. My paintings communicate joy with the audience, each piece emerging from a powerful reflection on elation and gratitude. But my art also acknowledges that light cannot exist without darkness. It was during a challenging time that I first felt prompted to create in a way that brings me joy. Through abstracted shapes inspired by my natural surroundings and the joyful memories of my past, the dreams in my imagination were unleashed onto my panels in vibrant dots, lines, and layered shapes—bright strokes of colour that express the deep happiness of my art practice.
