EDMONTON -

The immersive exhibit called Imagine Monet is coming to Edmonton in the summer of 2022.

Created by Annabelle Mauger, Julien Baron, and art historian Androula Michael, the exhibit will take place at the Edmonton Expo Centre.

With over 200 paintings created by the founder of impressionism Claude Monet, the exhibit will feature the series of Cathedrals and the Water Lilies from his garden in Giverny, according to a release.

“Monet wanted to capture the fleeting nature of the light reflected on the landscape, on people and things. In his rapid execution in the open air, and the resulting dissolution of form, he went against the academicism of the time and created colourful environments that could be considered the first immersive works in the history of Modern Art,” read a release.

The exhibit is presented by Tandem Expositions and produced by Encore Productions – the team behind Imagine Van Gogh which runs at the Expo Centre until Sept. 26. The productions team is also the creative mind behind Quebec City’s Imagine Picasso.
