SUMMARY:"I Am" Sarah Bing Exhibition - Meet the Artist
DESCRIPTION:You are warmly invited to the art opening of I Am\, a captivating exhibition by artist Sarah Bing\, on Wednesday\, April 9\, from 6:00 to 8:00pm at the Paperny Family JCC. This event features a diverse collection of Sarah’s work over the past 25 years\, including her very first painting created at age 12. Each piece represents different moments in her life\, inviting viewers to reflect on their own existence and discover their true selves. Join us for an evening of art and conversation with the artist! \n  \nAbout Sarah Bing\nSarah Bing is a distinguished artist based in Calgary\, Alberta\, renowned for her vibrant exploration of themes through abstract and expressionistic styles. Graduating with a Bachelor of Fine Arts with distinction from the University of Calgary in 2002\, Bing majored in oil painting\, honing her expertise in color theory under the guidance of a teacher who was a student of the celebrated color field painter Mark Rothko. This rich foundation in color has profoundly influenced her artistic practice. \nBing’s artwork transcends traditional boundaries\, embodying her belief that confining oneself to a single style can stifle creativity. She embraces a diverse range of subjects\, from cityscapes and landscapes to poignant themes such as domestic violence\, judgment\, and mindfulness. Her current body of work serves as a commentary on contemporary society\, delving into the illusion of connection promised by modern technology. Executed in a striking abstract surrealistic style\, her paintings utilize a vivid and electric color palette\, reflecting the complexities of the 21st-century social landscape. \nIn 2010\, Bing received a significant commission from the Calgary Bar Association\, resulting in her monumental painting “The Living Tree\,” which adorns the 52-foot back wall of the ceremonial courtroom in Calgary’s court center. Measuring 25 feet long by 6.5 feet high\, it is a unique piece\, marking the only painting to hang in a courtroom in Canada. \nOutside of her artistic endeavors\, Bing shares her life with her partner of ten years and their blended family of five children. She finds balance through daily meditation\, fitness\, and cherished moments spent with her loved ones. With a commitment to exploring diverse themes and a passion for vibrant expression\, Bing continues to contribute richly to the artistic community\, inviting viewers to reflect on the complexities of life through her powerful works.
