Mona Lisa Ristorante

 

One of Winnipeg's premiere Italian restaurants, Mona Lisa Ristorante, 1697 Corydon, is a huge supporter of the local art scene. The walls of their very tastefully decorated dining rooms are adorned with rotating displays of art created by local artists. This allows local artists such as myself the opportunity to have their work seen by a large number of people in a very relaxed and comfortable setting. Diners get to enjoy a sumptuous meal, as well as the opportunity to spend some quality time with the art. This often results in a connection being established between the viewer and the painting, something which might not otherwise have a chance to develop in a typical gallery setting.

 

I have been fortunate to have had the opportunity to have my work displayed there as part of their rotating stable of artists since 2010. I am very proud to say that my work is gracing their walls once again, and will be on display for December 2014 and January 2015.  I have 24 pieces on display, all original acrylic on canvas, and all available for sale, with very reasonable prices ranging from $200 to $750.

 

If you are in the Winnipeg area, and looking for an opportunity to enjoy an evening of fine dining in an elegant and relaxed setting amongst the art, do yourself a favour and make some reservations. 

In addition to the rotating displays, one wall of the restaurant regularly features the work of the very talented Giuliana Grande. This photo below shows three of her large scale pieces adorning the wall, with my painting "Take Two" shown on the far wall.  I feel that the style of her creations works very well with mine, making for a cohesive display.

 

There are 13 of my paintings currently on display in the main dining areas. There is also an auxiliary gallery behind the main dining rooms where patrons can view additional pieces in a more traditional gallery type setting. I have an additional 11 pieces available in that auxiliary gallery space.

 

If you plan on stopping by, reservations are recommended, as it can be very difficult to get a table without one. You can make reservations by calling 204-488-3687
