Linnie Brown
PROXIMITY solo painting exhibition
March 15th - April 27th, 2024
EXHIBITION DESCRIPTION
In Proximity, Linnie Brown presents remembered places using fragments of landscapes, architecture, and everyday landmarks that come together to create mental postcards of abstracted human expereince. Using layered shifts in perspective and scale, she creates ambiguities that mirror the effects of time on memory.
ARTIST STATEMENT
Memories do not exist solely on their own; they are persistently entwined with the physical places where they occurred. In my paintings, fragments of landscape and abstracted architecture stand in for everything I have lived through in those places. My art depicts multiple locations simultaneously to convey the impact and accumulation of identity-shaping experiences.
Created through an intuitive process of layering and revision, each painting unfolds gradually. Traces of previous layers, as well as shifts in perspective and scale, give the work a sense of ambiguity and complexity. The process mirrors the idea of the work- negotiating layers and deciding what to hold close, change, or push away.
PAST EXHIBITIONS
BRENT GODFREY
YOU ANIMAL
Sept 15-Oct 28, 2023
RECONSIDERING WILDLIFE
In his solo painting exhibition YOU ANIMAL, artist Brent Godfrey democratically presents human and nonhuman figures in a world where the ordinary brings delight with a wink or raised brow. At times his expressions seem mythical, conjuring tales of gods presenting in animal form, full of spirit and intent. Some works are best described as portraits while others combine figures to form stories or describe relationships. Godfrey’s signature mark making is consistent throughout the work while, as usual, he flows freely between styles to accomplish what he desires in each piece. Some paintings lean monochromatic, while others burst with color. Some embrace elements of figurative tradition, while others break into abstraction. Godfrey’s images combine to create a celebration of life in a multitude of forms and remind us there are souls housed beneath this menagerie of surfaces.
ARTIST STATEMENT
In my solo painting exhibition YOU ANIMAL I consider souls in a variety of physical forms. Some individuals are housed in large bodies covered in fur, some inhabit small forms enfolded in feathers while others have figures of flesh.
Matthew Choberka
ALL SMILES solo painting exhibition
August 4 - September 2, 2023
ARTIST RECEPTION Friday, August 18, 6-9pm
In ALL SMILES, Matthew Choberka presents colorful muses moving through imaginative topographies. The personages appear mythological; guides from another realm bringing awareness, enlightenment and warnings. They smile, sometimes wryly, sometimes warmly, bringing comfort and attentiveness to their spirited surrounds.
JENNIFER RASMUSSON
Petals Interpreted
October 7 -November 5, 2022
Jennifer Rasmusson studied art with George William Allen before attending Lyme Academy of Fine Art in Connecticut and Dundas Valley School of Art in Ontario, Canada.
Rasmusson works in series based on subjects that capture her interest. She often starts by depicting her subject matter with representational accuracy floating on imagined backgrounds. As she moves deeper into her explorations her focus moves towards an abstracted essence described by line, mass and form. Her colors stop describing what she’s viewing, becoming an academic exercise of restraint and balance.
In her latest series “Petals Interpreted”, Jennifer moves deeper into the large floral motifs explored over the past few years, focusing on petals as shapes, interpreting what’s before her with the freedom of abstraction.
Landlines
July 15 - August 13, 2022
Juhlin's "Landlines” exhibition features abstracted, linear landscape paintings that are rich in desert imagery.
Their warmth and clarity are achieved, in part, through the use of mineral pigments found near Capitol Reef, Utah. The materials suggest the soft palette of exposed, eroded rock and distant horizons, enhancing a perception of calm, open spaces.
Sept. 17 - Oct. 30, 2021
Featuring paintings started throughout the last twenty-five years and completed in the last two, “Matter of Time” celebrates decades of observation and artistic evolution.
