David Antonio + Loring Doyle

Reception: July 8 • 5–8pm
Summer Colors is an exhibition featuring the colorful paintings of two painters. Loring Doyle’s paintings are humorous, surreal, erotic, and contain colors and shapes that suggest dreamlike landscapes. David Antonio’s works are portal’s into a parallel world which often highlight the ancient and magical symbol, ABRACADABRA.
David Antonio
For me, art is a portal to a parallel world. Painting allows me the joy of being a temporary channel from an unknown source of inspiration. The painting process enhances my life as I discover new ideas and resolve challenges that reveal themselves through the work.
I incorporated ABRACADABRA many years ago in my art as a secondary element, but highlight this ancient magical symbol as the subject of my most recent paintings.
