Through June, 2011, Swirl Fine Art Gallery, Art Central, Calgary
Opening just as the rodeo season is gearing up in Alberta, Chris Riley’s paintings bring a spirit of celebration of the West to Swirl Fine Art in Calgary’s Art Central. A self-taught painter from rural Alberta, her portraits of people and animals are saturated with colour and bold, forceful strokes. On through June, the show will open June 2 (first Thursday) with kinetic live performance and a sampling of Western culture.
