Gallery On Queen is pleased to present “Requiem,” a solo exhibition by Carol Collicutt.

Join us on Thursday, October 4, @ 5:30for the opening reception.

“Requiem” is a collection of large format Art works consisting of mixed media including photographic imagery.

“On 4 separate trips to Havana, Cuba I was fortunate each time, to visit the Cemetario de Cristóbal Colón with the opportunity to investigate a part of the vast 58 hectare necropolis, one
of the largest and most elaborate historic cemeteries in the world. I took many photographs, but they didn’t convey the feeling that I had walking through that unbelievable place. So I made these paintings.

“The heaviness of the tropical heat, the scale of the monuments, the artistry of the sculptures, and the lush vegetation all contributed to the atmosphere of the cemetery. Everything is white marble which shines blindingly in the sun, but I saw the scene as a heavier, darker, more decaying, vegetal place. That is how the paintings portray it, and I still believe they capture the feeling of the cemetery more effectively than all the photographs I took in the blazing tropical sun.”
– Carol Collicutt on “Requiem”
