London’s Michael Gibson Gallery has re-opened with a new exhibit dedicated to Calgary abstract painter Mark Dicey.
The exhibit is Dicey’s second solo showcase at the Gibson Gallery, and it features a series of paintings created specifically for this show. Dicey used similarly sized canvases for spontaneous and unrehearsed painting. The exhibit is called “Confluence”, and it draws inspiration from the meeting point of Calgary’s Bow and Elbow rivers.
Dicey is a 35-year veteran of the arts, and he has had his work exhibited around the world. He has also contributed to the community by founding the Elephant Artist Relief to provide emergency health support to Calgary. While Dicey has in the past experimented with performance and installation art, the bulk of his work has been in painting.
Confluence, along with the rest of the Gibson Gallery, is open to visits by appointment. As provincial restrictions relax, more visitors will be allowed in the gallery at one time. The gallery also contains a regular collection of work by contemporary Canadian artists like Anne Meredith Barry and Duncan de Kergommeaux. Social distancing has changed the way galleries market events, which typically included in-person opening night parties and other large events, but tools like poster printing and commemorative art Books are still useful.
Mark Dicey’s Confluence will be on display at the Michael Gibson Gallery until July 24.
