URL:http://www.harbourliving.ca/event/ekphrastic-reversed/
LOCATION:Cowichan Valley Arts Council :: 2687 James St. Duncan, V9L 2X5
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:<p>Art inspired by poetry Show dates: April 4 to April 29, 2023 Opening event: Tuesday, April 4, from 4-6 pm As a way to mix our media, CVAC has asked 12 well-known poets to compose poems on themes of isolation and invigoration. The final art show will feature several paintings interpreting each poem. Ek what? Ekphrastic means a &ldquo;description&rdquo; in Greek. According to the Poetry Foundation, &ldquo;an ekphrastic poem is a vivid description of a scene or, more commonly, a work of art. Through the imaginative act of narrating and reflecting on the &ldquo;action&rdquo; of a painting or sculpture, the poet may amplify and expand its meaning.&rdquo; From The Iliad to Moby Dick, there are plenty of examples of writers describing art. In our show, instead of words describing art, we have art describing words. Ekphrastic Reversed!</p>
