DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Toronto artist Francisco Castro Lostalo showcases three-dimensional sculptu=
res and vibrant abstract paintings created using the white Italian Carrara =
marble panels removed from the exterior of downtown Toronto skyscraper Firs=

of the recent major rejuvenation project of First Canadian Place.

Castro Lostalo, a sculptor and multi-media artist, constantly seeks to chal=
lenge himself both creatively and technically.  His strong belief in the ne=
ed to protect our planet and preserve its natural resources has fuelled his=
 interest in creating art from recycled and re-purposed materials.=20

For this exhibition, he has added materials such as acrylics, resins and me=
tal to the marble to animate many of his diverse sculptural creations, whic=
h range from realistic and mythical figures to contemporary abstract works.=
  He has even incorporated marble dust into his abstract paintings.
