The Alberta Society of Artists is pleased to present “Pointed Figures”, a solo exhibition by Alana Halliday. About herself and the exhibition, Alana writes:
“My name is Alana Halliday. I am a twenty-nine year old artist currently based in Edmonton, Alberta. In 2020, I graduated from MacEwan University with a Bachelor ofArts. Currently, I work as a full-time legal assistant and a part-time artist. I specialize in the creation of detailed portraits through black ink in a pointillistic style, and use other assorted mediums to add coloured accents to my pieces. Nail polish and water-colour are two of my favourite accent materials. Stylistically, I like to utilize simplistic, muted neutrals and subtle shading techniques. The primary aim of my work is to successfully use intricate, small details to create much bigger pictures. I have been working at mastering painting and drawing for over ten years, but have only recently started to show my work on a public scale.”
This exhibition will be on display from October 8th - 18th at the Walterdale Theatre, 10322 83 Ave. NW, Edmonton Alberta.
There will be a public opening reception on Tuesday, October 7th, 6:30 pm-7:30 pm followed by a free preview of Walterdale's production of “According to the Chorus” by Arlene Hutton. The exhibition is free and open to the public when the theatre is open.
