Boca Raton Museum of Art
Chia Exhibition Opening

The Boca Raton Museum of Art welcomed over 400 guests to the opening of “Gods and Heroes: The Painting and Sculpture of Sandro Chia.” Museum members and patrons got the chance to meet the artist, while taking in his larger-than-life paintings, drawings and sculptures. "The imaginary realm of Sandro Chia's oeuvre is one of the richest in contemporary art," said George Bolge, Executive Director of the Boca Raton Museum of Art and longtime friend of Chia's. “Gods and Heroes: The Painting and Sculpture of Sandro Chia” presents larger than life sculptures and more than 30 paintings and works on paper. Many of the works were created specifically for the exhibition. Additionally, four bronze Chia sculptures are installed outdoors throughout Mizner Park. The exhibition will be on display through January 13. It is accompanied by a fully-illustrated catalogue available in the museum store.
