Tom Pazderka ‘Dust to Dusk’ Art Exhibition at Silo 118
Giving a new meaning to Friday the 13th, artist Tom Pazderka opened his show of his latest 13 art works at the Silo118 Gallery in the Funk Zone on precisely Friday, October 13. The show will be up through, you guessed it, 13’s reversed number, October 31st (yes, and Halloween).
I attended the opening, having known “Paz” for over 10 years and reviewed his works twice prior. “The 13th,” I said, and he replied, “Date very appropriate for these, no?”
Indeed, his meticulously done works require one be of open mind and ready for the solid in-your-face issues he dares to address in a medium most pale to attempt: ash, oil, and charcoal on burnt panel. The process involves seeing from a totally blackened canvas to the varying hues of gray through white via layering, from a complete negative and works outward. This layering is done on board, sized six feet and up on both sides. In this show, he does indulge us in a few medium-scale works as well, which provided the artist an immediate sale at the opening, leaving 12 up for those who dare to understand it all and take one home.

The Art Fringe is proudly presenting “Through the Eyes of Women”, its biennial exhibition marking International Women’s Day (IWD). Through art, the exhibition aims to amplify and celebrate the voices of creative women. Female artists practising in a variety of mediums and approaches will be displaying their work in response to this year’s brief: “What does faith mean to you as a woman?”.
