We start this issue's G ZINE with thanking NOW Magazine for choosing INDEXG (G+ and LEE Ka-sing gallery) Best New Gallery of the year. Indeed our programmes reflect Toronto's increasingly rich and diverse art communities and the gallery's effort in bringing in first-class art from Asia to interact with local art practitioners.

We are also pleased to announce the representation of Ansel Yamamoto Mitic, who is only two and a half years old and probably the youngest person in record to be represented by a gallery. His show "Ne Sei" was a sold-out and has attracted a lot of media attention including an interview from City TV, article in The Globe and Mail as well as other online media. Ansel is currently working on larger canvas and will have his solo in the spring 2008. Ansel Yamamoto Mitic's limited edition work is available at GOOD Edition.

Another young luminary on your watch list? Dima Black is a 13 years old boy with eyes of a neo-modernist. He shoots on Tri-x films! "One Black Cubed" features black and white photographs of the Black Family - Marina Black, Dima Black and Robert Black. Read the awesome story written by the artist "...photography has acted as a conversation and a rail upon which the distances they have travelled, as individuals and as a family, have been shuttled and slipped, reduced to a point of clicked light snapped in the heart-slip of a moment". Read more.

Robert Black have been helping INDEXG to organize the amazing Saturday Night Photography Projection series since July. The projection currently switched to 8:00 pm (every Saturday) This coming Saturday G+ Screening will have a projection of Patrick Lee's photo works to complement the Hong Kong artist's con-current exhibition - "LKS_SELECT: Patrick Lee".

Most artists will be present in the exhibitions opening this Thursday November 15. What a photography world! We have Patrick Lee's contemporary images finished on dia-sec mount. His photography is a long journey of internal mindscape. The Black Family's neo-modernism, which is grainy and heavy (mixed with the strong smell of Russian Volka). On the GOOD Edition wall we have Gabrielle de Montmollin's constructed and surreal images. In the main gallery Normand Rajotte brings us the river where he lives in the Summer - a body of classic and poetic images with ripples, sounds and echos.

At the back gallery, a young Korean artist Jisun Chun showcases her painting. Inspired by music when she paints, her vibrant, turbulent colours are symphonic pieces when compared to the light musical notes of Normand Rajotte's. One feels the ripples echoing in both work, and the landscapes extending from one plane to another, realistic to surrealistic.

Born in Toronto of Swiss parents, Gabrielle de Montmollin is a photographer who uses toys and plastic dolls and figures to create allegories of nature, womanhood and dreams. Both seductive and vaguely sinister, her images are fantasy landscapes that encourage viewers to laugh happily/uncomfortably while trying to reconcile the storytelling elements they contain.

For the "Bird Women" series, Xavier Debeerst, AnamorFose remarked, "...the images are more sober but still keep the dynamism so typical for her images. I like to compare these photos to a classical Greek play. First you have the presentation of the characters and then you have the play. In this set of pictures you have the presentation of five mythical actors with masks. The movement of the characters inspire the spectator to make his own play. The strong figures are dancing a mythical dance which is accentuated by the bird-mask."

TIPS: Start your seasonal gift hunting today. The on-line edition of The Very GOOD Show has just begun. It offers the Best value limited edition art at a flat price of $30 each.

The on-wall edition of The Very GOOD Show kicks off on December 11, at INDEXG
