Landscape 2.0

March 5th, 2010 – April 17th, 2010

Opening Reception with the artists:

Friday, March 5^th and April 2^nd, 2010 4:00pm-9:00pm

Studio 12 Gallery located at 209 Kalamath St #12, Denver, Co 80223 presents Landscapes 2.0, March 5^th, 2010 – April 17^th, 2010. A group show featuring local artists: Alix Evendorff, Bill Evilsizer, Sharon Feder, Lance Jackson, Marston A. Jaquis, Nemo, Laura Politzki, Lisa Purdy. This show brings to the public a different way of viewing our surroundings. Each work of art references the traditional landscape but interprets the world around us in a new and fresh way. Seen through the eye of the artist and utilizing a variety of mediums and techniques, these artists expand upon the concept of the landscape. This show is not about the classic landscape; rather it is about the new landscape and the proportions, colors and textures that speak to a new way of describing the world in which we live. The artwork filling our walls in the early months of spring will bloom with vibrant color, unique form and texture, expressing unique ideas not often associated with the world around us. From post-industrial to abstract expressionism, all styles create a new visual for the surroundings in our life to think and live upon.

Landscape Paintings by Carl W. Illig (1910-1987)

March 31^st, 2010 – April 17^th, 2010

Opening Reception:

Friday, April 2^nd, 2010 4:00pm-9:00pm

Seasons: Landscape Paintings by Carl W. Illig (1910-1987) March 31^st, 2010 – April 17^th, 2010. Studio 12 Gallery features regional landscape paintings from this important rediscovered artist. The works depict New York, and Pennsylvania, where Illig frequently painted onsite. Carl W. Illig was born in East Aurora, New York, where he later studied under Arthur Kowalski. He was also a student and colleague of Emile Gruppe during summers spent in Gloucester, Massachusetts. Illig’s distinctive energetic brushstroke captures the color and light of the region. Best known for Western New York landscapes and Gloucester harbor scenes, Illig’s work carries on a long tradition of regional landscape painters and recalls Charles Burchfield, Carl Peters, Gruppe, and others. In the late 1950s, Illig observed the restoration of murals by Alexis Fournier at the Roycroft Campus (East Aurora, NY). He was also a member of The Buffalo Society of Artists.

Past Shows

Mark Friday

On/Off

January 15^th, 2010 – February 26^th, 2010

Opening Reception with the artists:

January 15^th, 2010 4:00pm-9:00pm

and

First Friday, February 5^th, 2010 4:00pm-9:00pm

Studio 12 Gallery will be featuring Mark Friday’s On/Off January 15^th, 2010 through February 26^th, 2010. We will be holding two opening receptions, one on January 15^th, 2010 and the other on the First Friday, February 5^th, 2010. Mark Friday’s On/Off exhibition is largely constructed from familiar and obscure discarded pieces of wood and metal. The work suggests past views of the future, has vague references to architecture, scientific invention, and religious iconography. The element of interior light, gives the work a dual nature. The pieces can be viewed in entirely diverse conditions, depending on interior\exterior light choices. In a darkened environment, the internal light sources come alive, enhancing the work's inner structures and in some cases projecting light patterns beyond their boundaries. In a more typical viewing condition, external light dominates, enhancing the works basic structure, color and textures.
