Illustrations celebrating iconic old-time, bluegrass, country, and folk artists.
On view June through October in the Luthier Shop
Gina Dilg is a Radford, Va. based visual artist and musician who brings a unique perspective to traditional American music. She created this exhibit to pay tribute to the old-time, bluegrass, early country, and folk artists who have inspired generations.
Each illustration in the series is characterized by bold black strokes and a bright color palette achieved by layering halftone dots and lines in only cyan, magenta, yellow, and black.
From bluegrass legends like the Stanley Brothers and Bill Monroe to lesser-known musicians like Joe and Odell Thompson, Samantha Bumgarner, and Etta Baker, Gina’s art pays homage to the greats and shines a light on both well-known and unsung musical heroes.
When Dilg is not creating art, she can be found performing with her husband Jason Dilg in a musical duo or with the string band, The Mustard Cutters.
