Opening Reception & Artist Talk | Carl White: “All That Glitters” @ Gallery Merrick

  • Gallery Merrick 1806 Government Street Victoria, BC, V8T 4N5 Canada (map)

Evening: Friday, September 12th, 5-8pm w/ Artist Talk at 6pm

"All That Glitters" brings together fragments of art history, pop culture, and urban mark making to question what we value and why. In these paintings, Renaissance figures, Baroque drama, and classical motifs collide with the raw urgency of graffiti calligraphy and the bright, seductive sheen of pop art. The glitter of luxury and ornament stand as both allure and illusion—symbols of power, beauty, and distraction. By layering past and present, high and low, sacred and profane, the work asks whether meaning endures beneath the surface of spectacle, or whether all that glitters is destined to fade.

RSVP Required for the Opening Reception.
