A mobile arts studio stationed in Burnaby's Deer Lake Park is hosting Vancouver artist Brodie Kitchen until Friday.
Brodie, one of the original creators of the Tin Can Studio, is working on new pieces to go on display in the park.
"He's basically drawing inspiration from the structures and the forms made (in the Tin Can Studio) ... and drawing inspiration from the park," said Caroline Ballhorn, who runs the studio with Jenny Lee Craig.
On Wednesday, Kitchen was working in the park, employing a dazzle camouflage technique used on marine vessels in the First World War. Dazzle painting used intersecting geometric shapes and colours to obscure the image of a ship on the horizon.
The Tin Can Studio is an 18-foot Streamline trailer converted into a mobile arts space, where Ballhorn and Craig host art shows, workshops and guest artists.
The final event with Kitchen is a picnic scheduled for Friday evening, from 6 to 8 p.m. People can bring their own picnic and sit on the grass to chat with the artist about his new work.
Sept. 1 marks the final day for the studio's Deer Lake stint, and there will be a closing celebration with performances, games, awards and music, from 5 to 9 p.m. For more info, go to www.tincanstudio.org.
