The latest Two Rivers Gallery exhibition is coming to a close, but before it goes you can meet the artist herself.
Nanaimo-based Sara Robichaud will be in Prince George at the gallery on Thursday at 7:30 p.m. to meet the public and discuss her processes of creating art.
The show closes on Sunday. It is entitled Unapologetic - Romantic Notions of a Modern Woman and features abstract paintings.
"Robichaud's approach to abstract painting often makes use of non-traditional paint and draws from her experiences as an artist, a mother, and as a woman," said Myriam Le Lan, acting assistant curator.
"(Her) large scale acrylic paintings reveal a remarkable sensitivity to her medium as she uses her artwork to process her experience of the world around her. Though the work is abstract, a loose narrative often emerges amongst the play of colour fields, space and pattern. Often very personal, her work deals with the body, using organic forms that evoke bones and organs, which speak broadly to aspects of our shared humanity."
It is free to attend this artist's talk.
Another abstract artist is also featured at the gallery until Sunday. A Piece of the Ground, A Piece of the Sky is the exhibition by Scott Bertram.
In the Rustad Galleria is the The Hometown Project, a popular culture local analysis done by Jean Chisholm and Janine Merkl. This show is on display until Oct. 18.
Coming up later this month is an exhibit by former Prince George artist John MacDonald entitled Unnatural Histories, while the gallery's own permanent collection will be opened for an exhibition of paintings and other works that are owned by the people of Prince George through the gallery's acquisition program. Both of these exhibitions open on Oct. 22.
