New local art gallery Mortar and Brick (# 20 316 7st South) is presenting a new exhibition from Calgary based artist Carl White.
The artist himself will be presenting an artist talk, Aug. 17 from 1-2 p.m. to talk about his exhibition Carousel, which opened, July 31 and ends on Aug. 17 as well.
“He was born in Liverpool and spent a lot of time in England and Europe. But he has been inspired by Renaissance and high art,” summarized Mortar and Brick arts and Events Coordinator Courteny Green, noting White emigrated to Calgary to at the Alberta College of Art and Design.
She noted he explores the idea of art being “precious,” or untouchable by ripping, tearing, altering and painting graffiti on the canvasses and even on the walls around the works.
The exhibition features 13 pieces in several different mediums including acrylic, oil and ink.
There are also three sculptures.
