On Friday, Jan. 31, an art exhibition called Noise took place at a unique Guelph art venue, Silence. This exhibition displayed the works of Angie Colalillo.
Along with Colalillo showcasing her vibrant portfolio of work, local trio Vulpis Vulpis provided the funky tunes to party to while viewing all the wonderful art.
The collection of the twelve works by Colalillo was a reflexive nostalgic journey of surreal images that evoked emotion and free-flowing ingenuity.
In speaking with the painter, Colalillo said that her style is “reminiscent of Art Nouveau, which [expresses] feelings of appreciation and vulnerability.”
A painting titled “Drip” revealed an abstract direction for the captivated audience; another was “Lux Pereginus,” which she said was her very first piece; and the piece “Frequency” evoked the influence of the late Austrian painter Gustav Klimt.
Her combined use of vivid colours and aesthetic allegory permitted the viewer to escape into the canvas, which touched on the ideas politics, fear, love, and spirituality.
The weeklong exposition by the University of Guelph artist will be on display until Feb. 7.
