Signature artwork at new Oilers arena by Canadian artist Alex Janvier
EDMONTON — Anyone getting a first look at Edmonton’s new hockey arena should be sure to look down.
A large mosaic created by internationally renowned Canadian artist Alex Janvier stretches 14 metres across the floor of the entrance hall.
It is the largest of four pieces of public art chosen for Rogers Place.
The colourful mosaic is made up of nearly a million glass tiles, weighs almost 1,600 kilograms and took 20 staff from Montreal design company Mosaika six months to put together.
