Lorenzo De Francesco: Broken Cross
June 1, 2015 to August 15, 2015
This exhibition is a mid-career retrospective of the sculptor Lorenzo de Francesco.  By gathering together in one space the major works de Francesco has produced over a life-time, the artist reflects on the visual language he has created. Art, he concludes, enables us to articulate experiences that cannot be expressed in words, specifically those that pertain to creativity and spiritual maturity. The hard stones of marble and granite, which de Francesco utilizes, are perfect metaphors for his message that change, transformation and spiritual growth are only achieved through strain, challenges and significant effort.

Vancouver 1987
My friend Chris Harris introduced Allen Wood to me back in 1987. A known painter  and a great writer. I had a studio then on Alexander str.  In the building were many artists included Jack Harman Foundry, George Rammell, Steve Prudenti, Cliff Vincenzi etc. Allen took interest in my work as a sculptor. His encouragement and support was a great gift to me.  He saw in my work the expression of inner meditations. The sculptures in the show originated from a variety of sources like Anthropology, Biblical stories, identification with Faith in God, sensuality and sexuality. I enjoyed using different color of marbles and shapes. In his art statement in the brochure Allen Wood captured the essence of my work. That was the first and only solo exhibitions I had. At the present time I am preparing a new solo exhibition at the “Museum” gallery, located in the Italian Cultural Centre opening on June 1 2015.
