“Cyclorama are 360° paintings created to fit the insides of cylinders and to be viewed from the inside, providing an immersive visual experience, often enhanced with dioramic apparatus and lighting that facilitates an illusion of depth and movement. Perhaps the most famous cyclorama are those created during the Civil War era, depicting various battle scenes of the war. One such cyclorama in Atlanta (the largest oil painting in the world until 2004), portraying an unsuccessful Confederate counterattack during the war, serves as inspiration for Alan Miknis and Jeff Rahuba's new cyclorama, spanning 30 feet, and filled to the brim with their own style (Matt Groening's "In Hell" meets the album art for Guero) of martial carnage. If you need to wash out that particularly grizzly, dismal feeling still left over from your last visit to the Civil War Museum, or just enjoy fun and rebellious Southern art, come get in it at Incline Gallery.”

Incline Gallery presents Cyclorama 2, a series of new works by Alan Miknis and Jeff Rahuba. Reminiscing on old field trips, Miknis and Rahuba have set out to recreate the original Cyclorama, through a 30-foot collaborative scroll. Drawn in the spirit of their own child-like war fantasies, images and dioramas of Cyclorama 2 depict a different story of the Civil War filled with humor and eccentricity while still capturing the chaos of the battlefield.
