GREGORIO SCALAMOGNA
Join us for our new art show on July 18th at 7pm!
Complementary drinks provided.
As a young child I painted simply because I enjoyed it and it was something that I was naturally good at. I reproduced images of anything that I found interesting ranging from superheroes to album covers, to other artists work. I
nourished my art because it felt right, never knowing or possibly conceiving that my art would become my dearest companion and guardian for the rest of my life.
I grew older and traveled quite a bit with my art by my side, my portfolio in hand. I did the old budget travel thing for many years on end and found myself in a rut once or twice with only my artistic gift to help me out. My art was a common language with “locals” when words could not be understood
and it was a means of communication that remains my truest form of expression.
An expressive journey of truth takes place every time I enter my studio and get to work. Sometimes I guide the process to depict a representational image and sometimes I follow the intention that becomes the art. My paintings grow. They become windswept explosions of colour, walks along a coastline or transparent drizzle in rainforest. My paint strokes are loose, textured and splattered and my canvases become intertwining palettes of color.
Color brings life and mood into my work and it’s the color that creates the complex enigmas that are the essence of my work. I’m passionate about creating and I love exploring colour, living and learning. My paintings are a process in creation.

In celebration of Vancouver Craft Beer Week Locus is featuring gourmet burgers and craft beers.
$4.25 pint ~~ $11.50 Pitchers ALL DAY LONG
Burger for $13.00
Burger paired with a craft beer for $16.00
Craft beer flight: 3 x 5oz samplers for only $7
Here are the 6 quality fermentations we have chosen for the Vancouver Craft Beer Week event.
Driftwood Farmhand Ale
A Belgian style Saison that has a tart malt profile balanced with flavours of fruit and spice from a unique strain of Belgian yeast and subtle finish of black pepper.
Driftwood White Bark Wheat Ale
A traditional Belgian Wit, this beer is naturally cloudy. Subtle malt allows the floral essence of coriander and Curacao orange peel to balance the profile of this distinguished style of wheat beer.
Philips Phoenix Gold Lager
A classic Bohemian lager, fermented cold, and liberally hopped with innovative North American varieties. A distinctive nose complements the traditionally crisp finish.
Philips Hop Circle IPA
A classic Northwest IPA. This fully flavoured, full bodied beer is generously hopped with Northwest hops to give a mild bitterness and full hop aroma. A small addition of crystal malt gives this IPA a light amber colour, and a faint malty sweetness to balance all those hops!
Philips Blue Buck Ale
Philips’ prized session ale is characterized by a distinctive Northwest hop flavour and aroma which is complemented by a robust malt body. Bronze in colour and aged to perfection.
Mill Street Lemon Tea Beer
Well balanced sweetness and tartness make this a great summer patio beer. Flavours of wheat are accented with orange pekoe and a light hint of lemon.
Can’t decide? Try our beer flight where you can sample 3 x 5 ounces of any of our craft beers for only $7
Burger for $13.00
Burger paired with a craft beer for only $16.00
