Free Spirit Gallery is proud to present Dianna Bonder's first solo show at the gallery Cirko Bizzaro. Dianna is a longtime Gabriola resident and artist, she maintains a full time practice in her studio gallery on Gabriola Island, BC, where she works in resin sculpture, oil painting, and pen and ink drawing. Coco Loco (Dianna Bonder) is a queer multi-disciplinary artist and award-winning author/illustrator of 14 books for children.
Coco’s current project, Cirko Bizzaro, extends the long tradition of the circus freak show. She trained in fine arts in Toronto before making her way out west. This show and the many paintings represents over a year of immense work and creative prowess. She describes her paintings and style as "cutesque" her hybrid cast of characters harness both a joy and sadness. They are full of colour, fun, irony, weirdness, and incredible details and technique. Her work celebrates alternative contemporary work, pop-surrelism, turning tradition upside down and spinning it.
