Stumptown Art Studio is featuring an exhibition of limited-edition lithographs by Spanish artist Sunol Alvar.
Alvar’s exhibition will be unveiled during a special Whitefish Gallery Night event Saturday. The reception from 6 to 9 p.m. is the first opportunity the public will have to meet “The Alvars” — the artist’s stunning work.
The artwork on display consists of 10 different lithographs.
The “Carmen Suite” is a limited-edition grouping of five, signed by the artist. Each lithograph is preceded by a page bearing a lithographed sketch by the artist, combined with several bars of the music from the opera “Carmen” by Bizet, from which the subject of each lithograph was derived. These pieces are available for sale as a suite.
Five additional lithographs in a similar style are also on display and will be sold individually.
Alvar was born near Barcelona in 1935. He began painting oils at the age of 12 and continued his art education in Barcelona and Paris. Since a decisive one-man-show in Paris in 1963, Alvar has exhibited regularly throughout Europe, the United States, Canada and Japan.
Stumptown Art Studio is the first Montana location to show his work.
The studio is located at 145 Central Ave. For more information, call 862-5929 or visit www.stumptownartstudio.org.
