| Kristian will have four new paintings on display

CLOCK WISE FROM TOP LEFT: Otis, Hachiro, Bully, The Peacekeeper Ayden Gallery in partnership with Vancouver Opera are proud to present Stickboy: an art exhibition. The exhibition will run from October 17th to November 9th concurrent with Stickboy, an opera production by Vancouver Opera. The opera is based on the novel Stickboy by Shane Koyczan. There's a bully in all of us. The inner life of a young boy is at the heart of this moving and meaningful new opera by world-renowned spoken-word artist Shane Koyczan and composer Neil Weisensel. Bravely autobiographical, beautifully poetic, visually innovative and musically memorable, Stickboy confronts the uncomfortable reality of a society struggling with its own fear and insecurity, a society that seeks conformity and uniformity at the expense of those who are different.This visually stunning world premiere will feature visuals designed and animated by Giant Ant, the producers of Mr. Koyczan's monumentally popular video "To This Day". Also check out the Ted Talk by author of Stickboy, Shane Koyczan The opening reception will be held on Friday
October 17, 2014 from 7pm to 11pm at Ayden Gallery. A portion of the
opera will be performed at the opening along with a special performance
by Shane Koyczan. |
