(BURNABY, BC) - A Cast of Shadows presented by the Burnaby Art Gallery
offers an insightful look into the art of Jude Griebel. The exhibition
is comprised of 25 intaglio prints made in the last seven years and
features Jude Griebel's unique interpretations of the world of illusion,
dreams and the imagination that are reminiscent of illustrations in
children's story books. An important emerging Vancouver based artist
Griebel is becoming nationally recognised as a proficient visual
storyteller.=20

"Half-human creatures stand on dimly-lit stages in darkened theatres"
notes Rory Wallace, Associate Professor, Critical and Cultural Studies
at Emily Carr Institute of Art + Design. "Some of the players wear
outsize masks, others assume more transparent disguises, and still
others transform themselves by transforming their relationship with the
animal world around them. They all explore the ambiguous relations of
humans to other animals."

Jude Griebel completed his formal art education at the Emily Carr
Institute of Art + Design in 2003. This is where he developed his own
artistic vocabulary that melded his upbringing, experiences and interest
in historic children's literature and mythological allegories. In a 2003
artist statement, Griebel asserts that his work "can be seen as a
re-transcribing and mythologizing of my personal history...a knit [ting]
together [of] instances from my life with plots of fairy-tales from
childhood literature, as well as folktales and family ghost stories
rooted in the rural prairies." His works are also inspired by
Czechoslovakian puppet theatre productions, films by American Brothers
Quay and literary works by J.K. Huysmans, Lewis Carroll and Maurice
Sendak.=20
=20
Viewed as a body of work, A Cast of Shadows records Jude Griebel's
investigations into the intaglio printmaking medium and as an effective
means to relay personal and historical narratives - both real and
imaginary. =20
