Welcome to Gallery 35, a vibrant space where art thrives and emotions speak through canvases.
Founded by John Cutruzzola, whose artistic journey spans from intimate oil paintings to grand watercolour pieces, the gallery embodies his belief that art is an expression of feeling.
Embracing a history that’s both beautiful and complex, John’s recent sculptures reflect a deep engagement with social themes and support for emerging Indigenous talent.
Rooted in the artistic heritage of Gagliato, Italy, Gallery 35 extends the reach of art to the community. Celebrating its launch in Brampton, the gallery features works by renowned artists like Giovanni Federico, whose expressive paintings add to the gallery’s diverse collection.

Originally inspired by the great frescoes of the magnificent churches in his birthplace of Gagliato Italy, John Cutruzzola saw in them the value of bringing art out into the community, accessible to everyone. Gallery 35 is an extension of that original dream.
Fuelled by the gift of a box of crayons at age six, he began drawing on almost every surface, including the building sites where he eventually sought employment as a means to support his family.
So began the career of a true Renaissance man who devoted his life to building art through his construction business, painting art in his studio inspired by trips around the world and exploring many other creative talents too such as singing Tenor and studying at Sheridan’s School of Art.
Mr. Cutruzzola’s position is well known in the Brampton community and beyond. Recognized as a Citizen of the Year, a philanthropist, an artist, a musician and a dedicated Patron of the arts, he has capitalized on his business success to bring life to his boyhood dream of celebrating art and making it accessible to all.
John’s art is prolific and varied. Landscapes form a part of his extensive portfolio but the study of the female form is what inspires him most. It’s because, he shares, the female form, particularly nude “isn’t about the nudity but about the vulnerability of us all.”
More recently, John has been exploring a new form of art, using sculpture (and cast in Bronze) to examine different themes, this time themes of beauty and greed. Again, as in our vulnerability, greed too is something that impacts us all. It’s harsh and exploits the vulnerable and yet a relentless pursuit of one’s desires can also lead to great things, great monuments and occasionally, even to beauty. Greed and The Beauty is a work of art that must be seen to be appreciated, and John invites you to look for the wolf and the rose and to think about how you feel as you view this work closely.
