Date: January 25th, 2020
Location: Denver Art Museum, Claude Monet: The Truth of Nature Exhibition
Details: The most fashionable in the city gathered at the Denver Art Museum for The Art of Monet Gala presented by CultureHaus. According to the Co-chair of the CultureHaus board, Kathleen Perniciaro, supporting the work of the museum is the central theme of the event. “Our support of the Denver Art Museum and the local art community is central to the work we do each day. We are proud to present Art of Monet: An Evening in the Garden to give back to the museum and continue our mission to inspire and cultivate the next generation of arts patrons in Denver.” said Ms. Perniciaro.
The event also featured a mural (seen below) by Denver-based artist Ashley Joon, who teamed up with the DAM to create her version of Monet’s water lilies. On her website Ashleyjoon.com, the artist talks about her process. “Using acrylic paint, I create abstract florals with a balance of instinctual movement and subtle observations. Meaning, I dance as I paint using the rhythm of music to guide my brush while pulling imagery from my imagination, photography and live flowers. With my intuitive technique, I paint without inhibitions, allowing myself to move wild and free and letting my paintings develop organically layer after layer. Through this give and take process an interweaving effect naturally occurs amongst the layers capturing different moments in time. I’m drawn to the life cycle of flowers, how they grow through dirt, endure elements they can’t control, bloom gorgeously yet become more interesting as they age and wilt.
