REDEFINING THE WAY WE VIEW FINE ART

This is actually my press release, but I really like what I have created and so have decided to share with you. I worked on this press release for a week!

REDEFINING THE WAY WE VIEW FINE ART

"Imagination is more important than knowledge." ~Albert Einstein

“Painting is silent poetry.” ~Plutarch

A member of the Montreal Board of Trade and the Irish Chamber of Commerce, freelance artist, April-Anna, is determined to demonstrate that body painting is in fact a fine art.

You are cordially invited to attend the cocktail & opening night of "Ancient Reverie", a solo art exhibition at Gallery Massarelli Design in the Belgo Building. Entertainment includes music by classically trained violinist Rosa Lannes, and DJ Eliazar. Circus performance by Christina Supernova with classically trained flutist Caroline Tremblay. Door prizes, hors d'oeuvres, champagne and wine. 372 rue Sainte Catherine Quest studio 408, Montreal. Due to limited space, the cocktail is by reservation (guest list open to the public) and will be divided into 2 events; one at 6pm-8pm, another at 8pm-10pm.

Exhibition Statement

Ancient: Very old; aged: “an ancient folk tale”. Old-fashioned or antique. Reverie: A state of dreamy meditation or fanciful musing. A daydream. An impractical or fantastic, or visionary idea.

In “Ancient Reverie” I am exploring the connection between fine arts and the human body through four dimensions, which in this case are the canvas, the human body as a performer, the photo and the sculpted bust. Come and see how fireflies resemble stars, the waters resemble dreams, the skies shift into galaxies, while the lady with a lotus in her thoughts, sits back to watch.
