Local Artist Captures Spirit of His Subject Glen Rabena’s silkscreen prints, a blend of the traditional and the non-traditional, have made the artist popular with collectors of northwest coast art and wildlife art alike. The prints, most commonly of birds, combine contemporary forms with traditional northwest coast elements to form bold, vibrant images. In fact, it is his ability to cap- ture the spirit of his subject that makes Rabena’s prints so much in demand. They are excellent ex- amples of the outstanding graphic works being created by contem- porary northwest artists. Those interested in this type of art will have the opportunity to view a selection of Rabena’s serigraphs at an exhibition at Douglas College in New Westminster, October 2 through 31. The show will feature 35 framed prints of birds, but will also include a few of Rabena’s more traditional pieces, such as a wooden mask and carved serving bowl. The three- dimensional works, also of birds, will make an excellent contrast to the more contemporary prints on display. Serigraphs such as Rabena’s - that is, color silkscreen prints that are printed by the artist himself - are a relatively new form of northwest coast art. It is only in the past twenty years that local artists have adopted this new mode of ex- pression. Rabena, who works out of his studio on Hornby Island, studied his art at the Kitanmax School of northwest coast art at ‘Ksan in Hazelton, British Columbia. In ad- dition to printmaking, he carves gold, silver, wood and ivory. Examples of Rabena’s innova- tive art will be on display at the Douglas College Theatre Foyer Gal- lery and the Library Foyer Gallery at Douglas College in New Westminster, October 2 to 31. The exhibition is free and will be open to the public Monday to Thursday from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Fridays and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information on the show, contact Alan McMillan at 527-5400.
