The Aston Martin/ Bentley Show, Calgary
Kimberly-Lynn Hanson was cordially requested by the high end luxury car dealership, Distinctive Collection in Calgary, Alberta, to display her stunning charcoal pieces in celebration of an exclusive Aston Martin and Bentley invite-only event. Distinctive Collection knew releasing the new models of automobiles in company with Hanson’s prevalent works would be a more than interesting pairing and to add to this fascination, they also challenged Hanson with the offer to perform live at the evening's gala.
On May 14th, 2014, alongside the exciting unveiling of the 2015 Aston Martin V12 Vantage S, the Aston Martin Vanquish Volante and the Bentley Continental GT V8 S, attendees were also able to catch a rare glimpse of Hanson’s creative and industrious process as she worked diligently, in person, creating for guests a piece she designed specifically with Bentley's timeless intrigue in mind.
What was already to be an elegant evening was ignited by Hanson's all too well known bold, romantic, and adventurous originality. With nine of her striking works hanging, 5 being new, and Kimberly-Lynn Hanson herself, drawing live in a Haider Ackermann designed runway gown, her hands covered in charcoal, guests were openly captivated by the all encompassing display of style and integrity. Kimberly-Lynn Hanson was absolutely honoured to have been invited and completely inspired by the thrilling challenge to perform live. The showcase was an exquisite evening and everyone in attendance agreed, it was a noteworthy experience. |
