Lobato has lived and worked in Denver since 1985. RSVP here

“Bill Havu is celebrating fifty years on the Colorado art scene. He’s been on a five-decade trajectory that has taken him from a humble Aspen frame shop to a swank Denver gallery. For the past half-century, William Havu—known as Bill Havu to everyone—has emphatically made his presence known in Colorado’s art world. This longevity is, on its surface, a remarkable accomplishment by itself. But digging deeper, and taking into account the vagaries of the art business, his durable success is even more amazing than it seems. Art is subject to radical and sudden shifts in taste, not only in terms of style, but right down to preferred medium at any given moment. Not to forget, there’s the problems common to all small businesses—relentlessly rising expenses along with the ups and downs of the larger economy. Bill must have had ice water in his veins to have not just survived, but to have flourished through it all.”

Through November 12

Friday, September 22
Visions West Contemporary

Opening reception, 6 - 8 pm
Wild and Precious, a solo exhibition from the multimedia artist and sculptor Rachel Denny. The title of the show takes its inspiration from the writer Mary Oliver. Oliver's poem The Summer Day, which deals with nature and morality, sometimes finds itself on repeat in Denny's head. In the final line of the poem Oliver writes "Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?" Denny works and lives outside of Portland, Oregon where she creates nature and animal inspired artwork, most of which consists of taxidermy forms that have been transformed through fabric and embellishments she overlays them with. Denny's choice of medium has adapted and changed over the years, dependent upon the project and access to resources. Sourcing from upcycled materials that come from thrift stores, estate sales or kind gifts from friends. Texture and color are her palette, and this palette resides in a large storage cabinet where she hunts for materials for each animal figure.
Through November 4
