Eagles Soar as a "Work of Hearts", the Valentine's Heart Wall exhibit is unveiled
A collection of original works of art created by internationally acclaimed artist, Michael Golland, will celebrate the Laser Eagles Art Guild
Toronto, January 16, 2011 – The Laser Eagles Art Guild , in association with Michael Golland is hosting "A Work of Hearts" event on Friday, February 11, 2011 at 6 pm. The event and exhibit will be hosted by Heat Inc., located in the Heart of Liberty Village at 15 Atlantic Ave.
It took just one visit to see the Laser Eagles at work for Golland to realize he needed to reach out and help. With the blessing of Judith Snow, founder of the Laser Eagles Art Guild, "A Work of Hearts" was commissioned. Ms. Snow is an artist herself and an advocate for inclusion for over 30 years, having lived with muscular dystrophy since birth.
Golland's Heart Wall is the first of its kind and is based on an idea of original and individual paintings arranged in a multi-panel format. The walls will be spectacularly decorated with over 40 original Heart paintings in different colours and sizes. Golland, through his unique painting technique, which has taken him years to master, incorporates the principals of Fibonacci. The great Italian mathematician's theory of The Golden Ratio or Mean is brought to life in the creation of the HEARTS. Leonardo da Vinci used the proportions of the Golden Ratio in the Mona Lisa and the ancient Greeks and Egyptians used it in their architecture.
Proceeds from the sale of these highly collectible Golland/Fibonacci Hearts will go to the Laser Eagles Art Guild to help purchase art supplies and to pay for expanding this much needed program throughout Ontario.
As paintings are sold they will be replenished on The Heart Wall on a limited basis, thus The Heart Wall will remain a permanent exhibit for a short period after the event.
Heart paintings painted by the Laser Eagles Artists will also be on display and will be made into greeting cards that will be available for sale.
The Laser Eagles Art Guild
Laser Eagles Art Guild is an organization that offers individuals the opportunity for self expression through art. All individuals have contributions to make – acts that nurture the individual and the community. Yet, people with limited use of their bodies, those considered to be physically or mentally disabled by some, often lack the resources, opportunities and relationships necessary to fully express themselves to make their contributions to society. The Laser Eagles Art Guild offers a fully-inclusive community environment where artists are encouraged to express their creative vision and are supported with trained staff and volunteers. www.lasereagles.org
