Luminato, Toronto’s festival of arts and creativity, in partnership
with Lancôme, will present Soon is Now, an artistic experience inspired
by Canadian artist Corno. In a loft-style party, Corno’s energetic style will
be the focal point of a day-long event of live painting, performance art and
music.
As the all-day free entry
party unfolds - Saturday June 9th , 2012, 11am – 6pm at Airship 37 - 37 Parliament Street - Toronto Distillery District - Corno will bring the final touches to large-scale paintings that
will pay homage to femininity. Visitors will be invited to live in the moment
as Corno’s works come to life. Performance art by Charlie Le Mindu and music
from top Toronto DJs will also enhance the experience.
As a Canadian
artist exhibiting internationally, Corno has developed a signature style that is
both high-energy and expressionistic. Her work often incorporates luscious,
playful and audacious female figures. Originally from the province of Quebec,
she moved to New York in 1992 and has gone on to create work that has been
featured in the major art capitals of the world from Paris and London to
Shanghai, Hong Kong and soon, Toronto.
The Soon is
Now event is part of Lancôme’s ongoing partnership with the renowned artist
who teamed up earlier to create a limited edition summer makeup collection
released exclusively in Canada in May 2012. Corno and Lancôme’s Official
Makeup Artist Lora Spiga joined forces to select the products and determine the
art direction of the Lancôme by Corno collection, resulting in a playful makeup
collection embodied by a painting created especially by Corno for
Lancôme. If you haven't checked out the collection yet you can see it here.
In addition to
enjoying the artistic happening of Soon is Now, festival goers will have
the chance to discover and experience the Lancôme by Corno collection thanks to
complimentary makeup touch ups offered on site at the Lancôme Beauty Gallery,
where Spiga herself will be on hand to offer expert tips and advice.
