NOIR Art Show Opening Reception

Defined by moody and atmospheric aesthetics, the artistic genre of NOIR thrives on the interplay of light and shadow, beauty and bleakness, minimalism and high drama, tension, moral ambiguity, emotional intensity, disillusionment and resiliency.

The art of NOIR also prominently features the colors black, white, grey, and silver (note: black and white works with pops of intense color are also desired).

This exhibit is a collaborative extension of Opera Omaha’s upcoming noir inspired production of DON GIOVANNI Giovanni. Artists were asked show us NOIR from their perspective, as well as to feel free to use Mozart’s shadowy-toned world of love, lust, and vengeance (and their consequences) as inspirations for their work.
