The Burying Ground and BIG Fancy in PG!

JULY 26th

at Omineca Arts Centre from 8 PM to 11 PM

The Burying Ground has a lively and gritty sound with tight harmony and a driving rhythm section reminiscent of the music of the juke joints and jazz halls of the 1920's and '30s. The band moves effortlessly between toe-tapping dance music, the yearning of country blues and the embellishments and energy of ragtime and jazz. 

The Burying Ground can be found on their webpage, bandcamp or youtube. 
 

Big Fancy is from Fort Fraser, BC and he plays country, folk and old-time music.  Big Fancy is available on FB and instagram.  His music is available on Bandcamp. He has two albums out, "Legendary Loser" (2018) and "Hillbilly Recording Artist" (2016).

Two Rivers Gallery Art Exhibitions

ContraStructural by Robert Dyson

From Prince George, Robert Dyson is a sculptor and photographer who also works in the world of theatre, fabricating sets and props. His new work draws upon theatre-craft as he produces hybrids of painting and low relief sculpture that communicate pressure and tension. Elements within the frame, and at times the frames themselves, appear to be compressed or pulled apart using pulleys, clamps and other devices. Using trompe l’oeil and other effects, Dyson’s work appears to be heavily sprung and on the verge of letting go. 

For more info you may Visit Two Rivers Gallery Website. 

Atomic Love by Dan Brault

Québec City painter, Dan Brault, is a self-professed cynic. Rather than kick at a withering raft of global concerns, in his paintings, however, Brault ejects them entirely from his work. Issues like climate change and environmental decline, are more than simply absent in his paintings. He carefully composes his work to counter the anxiety and malcontent these and other concerns cause. Using a range of painting techniques and media he fashions paintings that, while auto-biographical, draw from common experiences in the world around him. Fishing, camping and video games are among the subject matter that Brault tackles lending his work a wide-ranging resonance as he creates paintings that are uplifting antidotes to these troubled times.
