CULTURE CLUB
Natural Wine Tasting: Unconventional Colours and Conversation with Garneau Block
August 21
Doors: 6:45 PM | Tasting: 7 PM
Culture Club members are invited to a Natural Wine Tasting, inspired by the vibrant colour field paintings of Marie Lannoo in her solo exhibition In Extremis, currently on view.
While exploring the vivid flavours and colours we will learn what natural wine is, and how to talk about natural wine from the experts at Garneau Block, the largest natural wine focused agency in the province.
Throughout the evening you will enjoy four wine and cheese pairings, an opportunity to view In Extremis after hours, followed by an exhibition inspired dessert.
If you are interested in learning more about the event and Culture Club, please contact Alison at alison@contemporarycalgary.com.
About the Artist
Marie Lannoo
Marie Lannoo was born in Delhi, Ontario. She attended the University of Saskatchewan and studied painting at the Banff School of Arts and at Emma Lake Artists’ Workshops as well as in Virton, Belgium. Her work has been shown in exhibitions throughout Canada and internationally.
Moving between abstraction and representation, Lannoo’s paintings exert a potent physiological effect on viewers. Imminent art historian Roald Nasgaard comments: “Lannoo’s work draws the viewer deep into internal illusions replete with reflected invasions from the external world. At the same time, it reaches out to embrace and enfold itself around the body of the viewer, who sees the world as if with eyes in the back of his/her/their head.”their own creative journey of self expression.
