Cecilia Gossen: Inspired by the Opera: Exhibition and Sale. In partnership with Calgary Opera
Forthcoming exhibition
Overview
We are thrilled to present a new exhibition by Calgary-based artist Cecilia Gossen, whose inventive mixed-media works draw inspiration from beloved operas. Working in materials ranging from acrylic and salvaged wood, to aluminium and wood-assemblage, Cecilia builds richly textured pieces that invite you to look, linger and listen.
In this special series, each piece references a famous operatic story — from the heartbreak of Madame Butterfly, to the heroic quest of Don Quixote, from the tragic sea-journey of Moby Dick to the fiery drama of Salammbô. (Yes, there will be puns, bold materials, and a trompe-l’œil twist tucked into each one)
A portion of all proceeds from the sale of works in this series will be donated to support the Calgary Opera’s mission of bringing world-class opera to our city.
OPENING RECEPTION
Saturday, November 15, 1 - 4 PM
Cecilia Gossen will be present to share insight into her process and the theatrical narratives that drive these works.
