These are only a handful of gems in the Coen Brothers’ expansive catalog of hit movies that have inspired audiences around the world.
Some of those people who were inspired will show off their best creations centered around the work of the brothers’ iconic films.
“How Fargo Can You Go?”: An Art Tribute to the Coen Brothers’ Cinematic Spirit is a juried and curated show led by Denver artist Rick Dallago. After finding success with a similar style event inspired by the great mind of the late David Lynch, studio owner Josh Berkowitz created another cinema-based event for the Coen Brothers.
Dallago is a former film producer who made the swap to artist, and still uses his love for film to manifest in his work today.
“The Coen Brothers have an unparalleled ability to blend humor with serious themes, and this exhibit aims to capture that unique spirit. Each artist brings their own interpretation, making for a truly captivating experience,” said Dallago in a press release.
The event opens on Oct. 3 and closes on Nov. 15.
There will be an artist reception on Oct. 11 from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m., and an artist talk on Oct. 26 from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.
