Events Description
Join Newzones as we celebrate the start of the holiday season with an evening of great company and amazing ART!
As part of the evening, we’ll be kicking off the return of our highly anticipated group holiday exhibition “Deck the Walls!”, alongside the opening of a solo exhibition by Calgary-based painter, Chris Flodberg.
“Deck the Walls!” is an attention-grabbing, salon-inspired exhibition that sees an entire wall filled with small to medium sized artworks. The perfect size for gift-giving, “Deck the Walls!” showcases paintings, photographs, sculptures, and more that will inspire and excite the art enthusiasts on your holiday list. With a diverse selection of artwork presented in a light-hearted manner, there is truly something for everyone!
“Signs and Symptoms” marks the first solo exhibition with Newzones by the leading Canadian artist and Calgary-based painter. In his new body of work, Flodberg sets isolated objects and figures against pure, coloured grounds, exploring love, death, loss, growth, and the contemporary zeitgeist. A briefcase filled with bones, a pink ice cream cone, a match illuminating the darkness and more become symbols whose meanings shift in relation to one another. Likened by the artist to Tarot cards or pieces in a mysterious game, the subjects of his paintings become archetypes and invite viewers to discover their own associations and narratives.
We hope you join us in the gallery as we celebrate giving the gift of art this holiday season!
