Visions
West Contemporary
Opening reception, 6:00 - 8:00 pm
Out of Doors, Zoe Hawk and Park Life,
Travis Walker, concurrent solo exhibitions. Both artists
invoke nostalgia and atmosphere to examine the lasting
impressions of childhood and influence of place.
The landscapes and interiors which
form the backdrop for Zoe Hawk’s paintings accentuate
the atmosphere of familiarity and discomfort. Lush
woodlands tempt the viewer with the mysteries that hide
amongst the trees’ shadows, while glimpses of suburbia
represent the constraints of societal expectations.
Travis Walker combines expressive
landscapes with references to the art historical canon
and media of his childhood to explore the atmosphere and
ambiance of the American West. Painting on location,
Walker captures the open skies, sweeping prairies, and
towering mountains iconic to the West, while
simultaneously adding a fresh perspective into each
composition.

William Havu Gallery
Opening reception, 5-8 pm.
Modern Perspective, an exhibition featuring new
works by Tracy Felix and Sushe Felix. Also showing in
the mezzanine are new paintings by Hart James. The
Felix's are Denver based artists and are Colorado
natives. Both artists are influenced by many of the
Modernist artists that worked in Colorado and New Mexico
and have tried to create our own unique styles.
Hart James explores the inherent connection between the
individual and their home, the Earth. With a deep
knowledge of the Northwest Mystics. She paints in an
abstract manner to carry this tradition forward to the
present. James' work speaks of the energy of nature -
the current of the water, the flow of the air over us,
and the rock formations that form the foundation under
our feet. Using oil, and charcoal, every painting is an
attempt to reunite with an existence symbiotic with the
natural world.

Opening 6-9pm Shalene Valenzuela, Feigned Utility. Her
sculptures deal with contemporary issues in a
thoughtful, humorous yet ironic tone. She reproduces
everyday objects and the imagery is hand painted. Her
narrative work references fairytales, urban myths,
consumer culture, etiquette, and societal expectations,
to mention a few. "Stylistically, my imagery is derived
from somewhat dated sources that represent an idealized
time in society and advertising. Beneath the shiny
veneer of these relics hides a complex and sometimes
contradictory truth of what things seem to appear as
upon first glance." She defines her ceramic pieces as
"essentially a form of trompe l'oeil."

Fought · Ted Larsen · and Stephen Westfall.
In The Viewing Room: Christian Rex Van Minnen · Fred Stonehouse ·
Walter Robinson · Paco Pomet · Stacey Steers.
Intervals a
genre-spanning group exhibition of archived works from twenty-four,
distinctive gallery artists. Ranging in proportion from grand to
diminutive, the artworks of shifting size offer experiential
entrance into the in-between where scale presents insight into
different ways of seeing. From the bold intuitive brushwork of the
large Claire Sherman paintings to her suite of small watercolor
studies, the artist illustrates the uniquely different realms
existing within the oeuvre of a single artist. Similar dialogues
ignite between artists such as the compositional energy of Amy
Ellingson’s oil and encaustic paintings placed near Jae Ko’s vividly
hued, materially intriguing wall sculptures. The inky
graphite-over-plaster Alison Hall paintings have rich meaning rooted
in both architecture and a reverence for the Madonna of Italian
chapels, and her subtle black rectangles also serve as a dynamic
counterpoint to the explosive abstraction of the vast Barbara
Takenaga painting in proximity. Pard Morrison’s potent pink painting
with grid-like rectangles selectively activates elements of the
neighboring exhibited artworks where chromatic resonance, spatial
dimensionality, and linear formality unite. Similarly, in the
Viewing Room Gallery an astonishing Christian Rex van Minnen
painting amplifies the provocative surrounding works in charged
juxtaposition to van Minnen’s large and captivating figure. Through
painting, sculpture, and prints in consideration of landscape,
abstraction, and figural subjects, all of the accomplished artists
on view in “INTERVALS” extend an invitation to approach a liminal
threshold exploring myriad interpretations through scale.

The Unusual Suspects, featuring paintings
on paper by Joe Clower and small-scale
sculptures by Amber Cobb. Though distinctly
individual in their approach to material, both
artists are tied together by their interest in
biomorphic, hybrid forms whose appearance can be
understood as futuristic, otherworldly,
potentially playful, or even scheming.

The McKenney-Hall Indian Gallery.
Thomas McKenney was appointed Superintendent of Indian
Affairs in 1916 by President James Madison. He
championed Native American causes for the next several
decades at a time when tribal culture was often on a
collision course with land-hungry whites and the U.S.
Government. McKenney worked tirelessly on his Indian
Gallery, a collection of artifacts and portraits of the
visiting Indians by the famous painter Charles Bird
King. However, in 1830, McKenney was dismissed by
President Jackson -- they had quarreled about the
removal of the Cherokee from their homeland. McKinley
had also battled with a Congressional committee
investigating his expenditure of $3,100 for the Indian
portraits. Therefore, it was on his own that he launched
a project to publish a series of large portfolios with
hand-colored lithographs made after King's original
paintings.

emotional and physical landscapes. Through oil,
photography, drawing and acrylic, the featured artists

Stripped, the artistic process of destruction and
resurrection can reveal truths, unveil vulnerabilities,
and engage memory. An exhibition highlighting the
delicate interplay between form and void. This dynamic
showcase of six artists working in photography, mixed
media, collage, and steel exposes the multiplicity of
creation through reducing, distilling, tearing,
removing, and shredding. What remains is not merely the
remnants of the material's past, but a palpable memory
woven into something entirely new, inviting viewers to
witness the transformative power of expression through
intentional subtraction.

Full Circle a solo show by
Jivan Lee and featuring new works by Margaret
Kenway Hayden and Ricki Klages.
Lee is inspired by the landscape and artists of
the Southwest. Whether conveying the shifting
hues of backlit clouds, or a New Mexico river
valley set ablaze in sunlight, Lee communicates
a visceral, momentary feeling of being in a
place and surrounded by natural beauty. He does
this in part by emphasizing the sheer physical
nature of his work.
Margaret Haydon earned her MFA in ceramics in
1989 from San Francisco State University. She
has been a working artist and teacher in the
Colorado-Wyoming area since 1991. She is an
Associate Professor of Ceramics at the
University of Wyo- ming, Laramie, Wyoming. Her
work is exhibited frequently in shows around the
country and internationally. Haydon’s current
work is based on iconic images of the great
sturgeon, an ancient and endangered species. The
sturgeon is an important animal socially,
politically and genetically. Its unusual
appearance captures the imagination. Its current
struggle for survival illuminates the natural
worlds diminishing capacity to survive in the
face of human impact.
Ricki Klages was born in Stuttgart, Germany. She
received her BFA from the University of Arizona,
Tucson, and her MA and MFA in Painting and
Drawing from the University of New Mexico,
Albuquerque. She has exhibited both nationally
and internationally, and has received many
awards in juried exhibitions. Ricki started
teaching at the University of Wyoming in the
Department of Art in 1995. She is the Head of
the Department of Art, University of Wyoming.
