A moment in time

Well, this is not really about food either, unless you count paintings of pear as food related. There will be lots of pears I am told.

Anyway, my friend Matthew is having a solo show at Art21 Gallery in Palo Alto. Matt -aside from being one of my dearest friends- is also a wonderful painter. This is first solo show. He's been busy being a successful corporate consultant, but now he is finally returning to his first love, painting.

Works in this show will focus primarily on the newer, abstract series I have been working on. These works continue my exploration of light and texture interplaying with minimal forms.

Each of these pieces is a study in both the interplay of light within the painting as well as within the medium of the paint. Constructed from hundreds of layers of paint, the glazing process allows for light to be captured and refracted within the painting's surface.

The reception is tomorrow, 7-9pm, at Art21 Gallery, 539 Alma St., Palo Alto. The exhibition runs through March 30th.

What a coincidence! I just blogged about an art show opening today too. Before you head down to Palo Alto, swing by Studio Gallery on Polk @ Washington, they are having a show called "Delicious" ( the theme is food and drink). Or you can just read about on my site :)

Since you'll be in the South Bay, somehow I sense a trip to Manresa coming on.

By coincidence, le Figaro cuisines and vins there are some beautiful recipes involving pears: http://www.lefigaro.fr/adv-cuisine-vins/20050224.FIG0341.html .

Hi Pim

I don't know whether you have already heard about this. If you have not, I guess that, as a fine gourmet and restaurant expert, you may be interested.

Indeed, Robuchon has taken a very critical stance towards the latest edition of the Michelin red guide. I've just published a brief post about it on my blog but you can find more details at the following URL : http://actu.voila.fr/Depeche/depeche_loisir_050304095604.7731a5x1.html
