Fairbanks Arts August Exhibitions Artist Talk: Alex Rydlinski

Join Fairbanks Arts in the Bear Gallery for an artist talk by Alex Rydlinski. Rydlinski’s exhibition, entitled Reindeer Man, is the result of a year-long collaboration with Fairbanks reindeer farmer, George Aguiar. Through a series of paintings and etchings, the exhibition moves through the reindeer life cycle from birth to slaughter, with a clear focus on the human trials throughout. During his artist talk, Rydlinski will discuss the concept of the show, some of its challenges and solutions, and go over all the pieces in detail. There will also be a technical demonstration on how his etchings are produced and printed, and Fairbanks reindeer farmer George Aguiar will be present to discuss his side of the collaboration and answer questions. 

Pre-registration is required and the talk is open to the first 20 registrants. Attendees must wear a mask. 

Rydlinski’s exhibition, Reindeer Man, will be on view Monday–Saturday from 12–6 pm in the Bear Gallery. Visitors are highly encouraged to wear a mask and practice social distancing.
