An exhibition described as “a unique combination of vibrant imagery entrenched in fantasy and remembrance” will soon open at Deer Lake Gallery.
The Burnaby Arts Council is presenting Satirical Pop of Colour, featuring the work of artists Vicki Lynn Rae and Carla Sumarlidson, from Saturday, Dec. 3 to Saturday, Jan. 14, 2017.
A press release notes that the exhibition represents very different techniques and manners of expression.
“Sumarlidson’s work is born of her imagination and spontaneously combusted onto the canvas,” the release says. “They are vividly pictorial and surrealistic, born of life experiences from her 40-year career in the arts in Vancouver.”
Rae’s work explores origination – South American and Canadian aboriginal – “thematically interrelated from memories and a projection of her spirituality,” the release says.
“Her work is a raw self-analysis; it breathes surrealism and is reminiscent of Munch. There is a great deal of symbolism used to render such themes as addiction and recovery.”
An opening reception is set for Saturday, Dec. 3 from noon to 4 p.m. at Deer Lake Gallery, 6584 Deer Lake Ave.
