An exhibit called Hockey’s Masked Men by Michael Slotwinski will be in the ARTSPACE in February. A series of large size oil paintings of famous NHL hockey goalie masks, the exhibit coincides with Hockeytown, a festival celebrating our national sport on Feb. 22.

Slotwinski’s controversial and interpretive paintings include many of the iconic goalie masks since the late 1950s, including Jacques Plante, Gerry Cheevers, Tony Esposito and recent masks such as those belonging to James Reimer, Carey Price, and Roberto Luongo.

Slotwinski is a recent honours graduate of the studio arts and dramatic arts programs from the University of Guelph and the University of Western Ontario. His web-based art studio can be found at www.slotsartstudio.com.
