BRANDON - "Chocolates and Flowers" featuring paintings by Rez is the January exhibit at Center Place. The artist early on wanted to pursue his creativity despite family and societal demands that he adopt a "more honorable profession," said a spokeswoman for Center Place.

His parents sent him to the United States to study engineering, he later became an American citizen and began his artistic career, eventually operating a multimillion dollar graphic arts and communication company in Washington, D.C. In 1985, he decided to "dedicate himself to the canvases," according to the spokeswoman.

The exhibit includes the contemporary artist's acrylics of chocolate candy bars, Oreo cookies, fudge laced cherry cake and M&M candies as well as floral paintings created after a visit to Holland.

A reception for the artist will be hosted by the Brandon League of Fine Arts from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. today. The reception is free and open to the public.
