Paintings by Jessica Dunn and Pedro Corte Real (2008-07-26 - 2008-08-26)

Corte Real Gallery in Paderne, Portugal presents a summer exhibition, "Paintings by Jessica Dunn and Pedro Corte Real", begun with an opening gala on July 26, 2008. Jessica Dunn's superb new collection of paintings evokes the sometime romantic, always evocative memories of past generations. Jessica has researched for months the colonial archives for stories and images. The exhibition captures the personalities and poignant moments of both family and work life. Jessica Dunn has been a Premiere Portfolio Artist at absolutearts.com since 2001. Pedro Corte Real works draws on his early life in Africa, influencing both the subject matter and the sensuous choice of color. Painting in an honest way, he is now embarking on a major project illustrating a series of children's books to be published in London.
