Kelowna based artist Alberto Azzi’s paintings often reference his love of nature and the beauty of the world – he grew up in a small mountain town in the Italian Alps – and are characterized by an intersection of realism and fantasy. A self taught artist with no formal art education, Azzi developed his unique and recognizable style of extreme details, brilliant colours, and precise techniques through the years, after retirement from a forty year career as a dentist. He paints with oils and acrylics on both canvas and masonite.
Alberto Azzi’s exhibition “Living in a Colourful World” is on view in the Alternator’s Members Gallery from October 25th to November 9th, and the opening reception for the exhibit will be held from 6pm – 8pm on November 8th.
