VITA has opened at the O’Connor Gallery in Gananoque, bringing with it a room full of canvases covered with exotic shapes and the vibrant colours aficionados have come to associate with artist Corey Ceccarelli.

“In the arts, it is essential to network with other creatives to share ideas and techniques,” said Dennis O’Connor, proprietor of the gallery. “This is important to the growth of an artist and unquestionably the growth of the arts itself. VITA is Italian for LIFE. Corey’s latest exhibition represents exactly that through all the stages of life, from conception to death. His medium is pastel and acrylic paint. He does an excessive amount of research before creating his work and is greatly influenced by both ancient and contemporary art. I’m sure we will see much more of Corey Ceccarelli in the future.”
