Stylized to Realistic
Figurative art ranging by Marcio Melo, ranging from
the stylized to realistic, will exhibit for the second time
at the Onda Arte Latina/Cross Currents Gallery, 2 2 15
N.E. Alberta St.
An opening and artist's reception will be held on
Last Thursday. Aug. 31 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. A special
conversation with the artist will take place on Satur­
day, Sept. 2 at 3 p.m. The exhibit runs through the
month of September.
Melo is a Brazilian painter who lives in Canada.
Those who saw his paintings last year were captivated
by his bold and colorful paintings. He typically works
from imagination and his themes run from Brazilian
Candomblé Saints to Canadian wildlife. The paintings
often include peopleor animals, many with fantastic or
spiritual imagery as elements.

poorly it could barely be heard.
Burk had the idea o f pairing the
vocal recordings with new instru­
mental backing.
