The official press release. We are getting rather excited…
Arte de los Muertos
Arte de los Muertos
Exhibit and Shrine Building
Tucson, AZ, September 19, 2010: To celebrate the unique nature of Dia de los Muertos, Tucson artist Carolyn Anne Anderson will debut a new series of works of acrylic on canvas. Anderson’s paintings continue to explore the local landscape; placing fantastic and surprising elements alongside recognizable landmarks. This series contains all the magic of the artist’s popular “Pollos del Pueblo”, but with a respectully quirky take on traditional Day of the Dead themes.
The debut of the paintings coincides with the opening of Borealis Art’s new print department which also features work from Anderson’s “Pollos del Pueblo” series in print form. Through this exhibit, Borealis Arts and Carolyn Anne Anderson proudly provide support to Tucson’s All Souls Processional by donating a portion of all sales from “Arte de los Muertos”.
In addition, a community shrine will be nestled amongst the official exhibit. A memento mori will allow the public a place where they are free to leave a poem, photo, drawing, or other memento as a means of honoring loved ones who have preceded us in death. At any time during the exhibit’s run, you will be able to add to this shrine, helping to create what essentially will be a reverential installation art piece.
The paintings and installation be on display at Borealis Arts Gallery, 6530 East Tanque Verde Road, Suite 160, October 15- November 17, 2010 with an opening night reception October 15 from 5-8 PM.
