Tony Nozero is having his solo opening night at The Canary Gallery on Saturday, September 4th, from 6pm until 9pm. His rich colored acrylic paintings infused with the beauty of Tony's talent, rage, and wonder will fascinate even the most stoic of observers. Come celebrate with us, have some wine, see some local art!

Tony Nozero at The Canary Gallery

Tony Nozero planted ten of his colorful raw acrylic paintings in the Canary Gallery for his opening night on Saturday, August 7th...and rocked White Linen Night. His theme is basically oil and our abuse of it in our lifestyle... a real eye- opener. His show will be up until the end of September so anyone who didn't get down for the opening will hopefully head down soon.
We also have Derek Nehrbass' pieces up until the end of August. His bar napkins and Fema trailers are the best eye candy you'll find in this town.
See you there!

"Water Stories"

Derek Bowen Nehrbass
b. Lafayette Louisiana, 1982
BFA Printmaking from UNO 2006.

The CANARY Gallery is pleased to present to New Orleans, the first large collection of prints and drawings from Lafayette, LA native Derek Nehrbass. Nehrbass' view of New Orleans both pre and post-K is seen through sketches on bar napkins to do-it-yourself paper models of FEMA trailers. Nehrbass' complex woodcut about piled up shotguns called "Babel" as well as large scale drawing transposing Dante's Inferno over the lower 9th Ward New Orleans, delve into the complexity of the city's struggle and shifting evoltution as told through pen and ink sketches. Most of these sketches were culled from Nehrbass' large collection of old bar napkins that he has collected from his many patrons over the years, bartending at the late night hip bar, The Saint.

Ayanna Bassiouni at CANARY GALLERY 2010

“Her Fall from Grace”
monotype/woodcut oil ink on paper 22 by 30


Myth and Translation


Ayanna Bassiouni’s multi-media and textured work seek to discover the relations of the many faceted roles that women play in cultural progression. Women have been depicted in their daily activities as deities, represented as multi-armed spirits that take on androgynous forms. That has lead Bassiouni to travel to Europe to explore and create upon one of the most controversial and underestimated figures, The Black Madonna.


“My intention was to document her fall from grace but in my encounters with cultures that held her in the highest regard I found her silence to be the most powerful statement. Her unassuming expression has gained so much momentum through the reverence of all the women that dictate the direction of symbolism and translation in their household,” Bassiouni

The CANARY Gallery is pleased open the year 2010, with the new works of acclaimed artist, Ayanna Bassiouni during the month of January. The opening reception is scheduled for January 9th, from 6p-9p
