“Reliquary for an Endangered Planet”

In this series of abstract, geometric sculptures, Stephen Shugart reflects on the nature of and passage of time, from its theoretical and philosophical concepts to its intimate human counterpart, memory, whether actual or imagined, collective or individual.  Shugart continues to explore the “intermateriality” of the materials he uses to create his structures–investigating the interaction and relationship, or fusion between different materials as an artwork is created, discovering the way various materials such as common or exotic woods, metal fasteners, springs, fabric, wire, found objects and light come together to create meaning, texture and aesthetic form.

Travis Vermilye and Katie Caron: Collections
Artwork inspire by tangles of plant life and objects washed ashore along the coast of the Pacific Northwest and Donegal, Ireland
“Collection 009”

Inspired by the tangles of plant life and objects washed ashore along the coast of the Pacific Northwest and Donegal, Ireland, “Collections” explores the beauty found in unexpected places and the lasting imprint we leave on the world around us. Through a series of digitally crafted compositions, digital animations, and 3D printed sculptures, this exhibition invites viewers to contemplate the intricate beauty of coastal ecosystems and the unintended consequences of our presence.

Mark Brasuell    Markieren Markieren (Mark Making Marks)
“Lernen zu malen (Learn to Paint)”

Part of the Traumwelt (Dreamworld) series, Mark Brasuell’s new paintings explore the unknown and the subconscious. The theory is abstraction comes from somewhere. Some people think it could come from observation of objects, but the goal here is to tap into the unconscious and create things that either we have never seen before or that have been stored in memory. The bold black-and-white pieces are accentuated with pops of color, linear expressions, and calligraphic “words”. Using asemic language has always been a part of Brasuell’s work, and this exhibition expands on that idea in bold and complex forms. Don’t miss out on this important fall exhibition sure to be one of the highlights of the year.

Opening Reception: Friday, August 23, 6-9 PM

Although our art uses different mediums and styles we believe that our artworks can trigger epiphanies – a moment of sudden revelation or insight.

Randy Cummings

This new series of paintings by Randy Cummings takes inspiration from the children’s book , “The World Is Round” written by Gertrude Stein in 1939. The prose has all the subtlety and obliqueness of a child’s  non-linear telling of a story. The story of  Rose and her cousin Willie is a non-goal-oriented experience of art and literature. Presented as an adventure of the mind and heart.

Phil Rader    THINK!

My art is improvisational with nothing pre-planned. However, it, like life, involves thinking and making decisions along the way, balanced by the principles of unity, which will determine the outcome. The visual image created exposes both to the viewer and myself a better understanding of who I am at the moment of creation.

Using an experimental process promotes growth as an artist due to the non-repetition of compositions – you are learning something new, not just doing the already known. Hopefully, I elicit an emotional response or curiosity that will entice the viewer to take a closer look and attain a better understanding of what is going on. By doing this, you will grow to appreciate this style of art more.

I hope you enjoy my art and that it brightens your day and makes you THINK!

Annual Juried Exhibition: Juried by Jim Robischon

August 2 – 18, 2024
Opening Reception August 2 from 6 PM to 9 PM

ON EDGE is an annual juried exhibition of contemporary work by artists residing in Colorado and the Rocky Mountain region who are pushing the boundaries of material and concept. EDGE Gallery has exhibited groundbreaking contemporary art for more than 30 years and has been instrumental in presenting important experimental work in our region.

We’re honored to have Jim Robischon as our juror for this year. Jim Robischon is nearing five decades of continuous operation as a professional gallerist in Denver, receiving numerous accolades and reviews. He began representing local artists, mixed with regional people such as Luis Jimenez Jr. and Jesus Bautista Moroles from New Mexico. As his gallery grew and expanded, he began showing sculptural installations and conceptual and political art, as was an emerging trend. The scope of his representation grew nationally, giving him connections and recognition across the US.

This exhibition features work from the following Rocky Mountain region artists:
