| For the past four years, Canadian artist, Gord Halloran,
has been creating huge, boldly coloured Ice Paintings
as public art events in Canada. These paintings have been hailed by the
Globe and Mail as the "quintessential Canadian art form".
Mr. Halloran floods brilliant
colours over the entire ice surface. He then uses the Zamboni to cut,
weave and blend the painting into a visual expression of beauty at
the heart of a winter landscape. A performance
with music, lights and skaters is choreographed to further interpret the
work. Thousands of skaters from the community are then invited to enjoy
the results by skating on their own Ice Painting
at a grand opening party.
The artist is seeking to
collaborate with cities, arts organizations and ice rinks on a series of
international Ice Painting events to be held in the fall and winter of
1997/98. |
