People make interesting subjects of pictures, even if they aren’t portraits. 
that is the concept behind a new exhibition of photos from local artist Wayne Dwornik, who introduces “People Scapes— a Song For Brian 2” which opens tomorrow (Aug. 14) at the Waterfield Gallery upstairs in the Yates Centre.
“There are 18 photos, from smaller snapshots to quite large,” observed Bowman Arts Centre curator Darcy Logan, setting up the exhibit.
there are a variety of pics dating back to the 1970s including shots of buildings in Cuba, an interesting shot through Dwornik’s kitchen window with someone walking up to the house, landscapes, gardens and the water display at the Galt Gardens. But all of them prominently feature people as part of the background.
“It’s an expression of when he was in photography school and they said you weren’t supposed to have people in the frame unless it was a portrait,” Logan continued adding all of the photos feature people — at least in the background.
It will be Dwornik’s second solo exhibition through the Bowman Arts Centre, though he has participated in numerous group exhibitions.
The opening reception for the show is 7-9 p.m., Aug. 14 at the Waterfield Gallery in the Yates Centre.
The exhibition runs until Sept. 18 through ArtWalk and Arts Days
