Art lovers can enjoy two new exhibitions at Burnaby Public Library branches.
The Burnaby Art Gallery is continuing its off-site exhibition series with two new exhibits, with work by Vivienne Kubik at the McGill library branch and work by Ben Frey at the Bob Prittie library branch.
The exhibition at the McGill branch features a selection of prints in a variety of mediums that were created by Kubik at the Malaspina Printshop between 1979 and 1982.
Kubik was a dress designer in her native England before moving to Canada in 1958. She then enrolled in the Emily Carr College of Art and Design, graduating with honours in print making.
Kubik's work has appeared in numerous group exhibitions at Burnaby Art Gallery, but this marks the first exhibition consisting solely of her work.
The McGill library branch is at 4595 Albert St. in North Burnaby.
At the Bob Prittie (Metrotown) library branch, meanwhile, visitors can see illustrations nd paintings by Ben Frey. His work draws from various literary and fantasy sources, with inspirations that include traditional Western tattoo design, children's books and political and cartoon imagery.
The work on display at the library is displayed as "darkly comical."
Frey is a graduate of Capilano University's design and illustration program and has illustrated three children's books with Annick Press and Simply Read Books.
The Metrotown library branch is at 6100 Willingdon Ave.
Both exhibitions can be viewed at any time during library hours - check www.bpl.bc.ca for library details.
