All good things must come to an end (at least that’s what they say). Boulder’s Emerging Artists of Open Studios show at the Macky Gallery closed over the weekend… but not before I got a chance to poke around.
Open Studios has a reputation for eclecticism and this experience was no different. A diverse range of 2-D work – from ab-ex acrylic paintings to prints, pastels and nature photography – were represented. I’d have loved to share more images with you, but the gallery monitor sure was on her toes! No pictures allowed, except of my own paintings…
(I love those creamy walls!) The 15 artists represented were Eric Batliner, Laura Bigger, Jessica Bernstein, Laura Carpenter, Douglas Goodin, Lael Har, Julia Lunk, J.E. McPhillips, Susanne Mitchell, Pamalyn K. Simich, Joanie Simon, Sallie K. Smith, Diana W. Tripp, and Laura Tyler. The artist’s names above link to their websites where I could find them. Overall, this show was good survey of the current state of 2-D artmaking in Boulder… Diverse works, some traditional & some new, with a strong nature/landscape theme running through. | |
