« Head in the Clouds » Show by Alain Godon a Tremen­dous Suc­cess at the Dras­ner Gallery

On Decem­ber 15th, the Dras­ner Gallery of Aspen, CO opened the exhi­bi­tion to Alain Godon’s “Head in the Clouds” show, fea­tur­ing a col­lec­tion of his oil paint­ings and Bil­dore­liefo (Godon’s way of incor­po­rat­ing mod­ern tech­nol­ogy with the ancient art of paint­ing). The Sat­ur­day night event was a tremen­dous suc­cess with 30 of Godon’s French col­lec­tors fol­low­ing him all the way to Aspen from var­i­ous regions in France. The event was bustling with peo­ple com­ing to expe­ri­ence what Godon has brought to this beau­ti­ful town.

This was a very spe­cial occa­sion as this was the first time an artist had bro­ken down the beau­ti­ful archi­tec­ture of this great town. Bernard Markow­icz, U.S. agent for Alain Godon, raved, “It was amaz­ing to see all the col­lec­tors mixed with the local art com­mu­nity appre­ci­at­ing the vibrant color of Alain’s work includ­ing his abil­ity to cap­ture the spe­cial ambiance of down­town Aspen in his work.“
The Aspen Col­lec­tion fea­tures many his­toric sites of Aspen such as the Wheeler Opera House, The Jerome, The Cour­t­house, and many more. The event opened to 5 of the 8 avail­able oil paint­ings already being sold.
The recep­tion for the show was such a suc­cess, Dras­ner Gallery decided to keep the show up until Jan­u­ary 15, 2013 to pro­vide all the vis­i­tors and locals of Aspen enough time to make it in to view the beau­ti­ful exhi­bi­tion of this won­der­ful town.
