“Shelter in Place” Oil on canvas, 20″ x 16″

This is my first solo exhibit of new work in about 4 years. Some of these paintings explore the inner space of my imagination. Others reflect the strange circumstances we have all been dealing with in 2020.

New Work

In my art I transform some of my experiences into whimsical stories. From birds & owls to humans, scenarios are created to lift the heart. Sometimes, though, my art takes on more serious undertones, such as dealing with the recent death of my mom. In this body of work, I use the media of colored pencils and collage material (and fabric) on wood panels to explore imaginary worlds.

Gayla Lemke
Roll With It: Years of Prints  

“Tired of Winning” Collaged Intaglio Print 18″ X 20″ (framed) 2020

Past and Present Print-based works by Gayla Lemke

Gayla Lemke started her life as an artist focused on printmaking, with a fondness for zinc plate etching. While she presently is more likely to work in ceramic sculpture or installation, she still re-visits the world of printmaking .
This exhibition was originally scheduled to be part of Mo’Print but was postponed due to COVID-19. With the extra time, the show grew from being mainly a chronology of prints to include a series of abstracted landscapes made from cutting apart and reassembling artist proofs.

Taking Stock: The Almanac of the Familiar

   New Print Works

I see my self as an explorer, I am curious about the world, and curious about nature ( and human nature ) my seemingly random encounters often deeply touch me and where I live in the mountains of the Front Range and in Boulder county I have plenty of opportunities for close up encounters with wildlife .
In this current show and series I have continued my exploration , taking stock of my experience of connectedness through some of the chance encounters I have had usually in a most ordinary way through the years, while this series cycle is far from exhaustive inventory I like to think that this is another link in chain in a garland of images that one day will finally complete this years long obsession to first draw and then paint or print out the images of the various wild beings that I have encountered as if there where a disparate need to document before it disappears.  — John Horner

Celebrate Memories

“In Memory Of…” Archival pigment print, 2009

Celebrate Memories is a photographic series documenting roadside memorials in an effort to promote empathy. The subjects – public memorials erected by grieving family members – have been photographed from an anonymous perspective, with no judgement being offered by the photographer nor expected of the audience. The images are created from “sites” which were found organically, without any knowledge of them having previously existed. By photographing the sites as they are found and using a neutral perspective, it is my hope that the viewer is able to feel empathetic and understand the emotion which drove the creation of such sites.

Over the Edge
May 29-June 14, 2020

Member Group Exhibition Kicks Off  Reopening

Please click here for a 20 minute virtual video tour of the Exhibition.

New COVID-19 limited public viewing hours:
Friday evenings, 6-8 pm
Saturday and Sunday, 1-4 pm
And by appointment

We are reopening on May 29, 2020, joining the ranks of metro Denver galleries that are slowly easing back into limited public viewing. The gallery will open with “Over the Edge” and feature both a physical and online exhibition for our patrons. This exhibit will highlight a wide variety of contemporary work created by current Edge members and run through June 14.

As part of the continued efforts to limit the spread of COVID-19, Edge will open with reduced hours and go back to regular hours when it is safe to do so. Edge will not be entertaining large groups, having opening receptions or serving refreshments. Visitors to the gallery will be required to wear a mask and practice physical distancing. Disposable masks will be provided if needed. No more than 6 visitors will be allowed in the gallery at the same time and members will be regularly cleaning and sanitizing the space.

“Over the Edge” will also be available for viewing in a virtual format on social media and the Edge website. This gives patrons the opportunity to see the work online if they prefer to limit the risks of going out in public. As we move forward, the gallery will re-access current health safety issues in deciding how to proceed with hours and restrictions.

Upcoming exhibitions for the Summer:

June 19-July 5 – Candace Shepard and Alane Holsteen

July 10-26 – Gayla Lemke, Jason McKinsey and John Horner

July 31-August 16 – Katie Hoffman, Ken Peterson and Sara-Lou Klein

August 21-September 6 – Phil Rader, Katherine Johnson, Christine Rose Curry and Sarah Tenney

Edge Temporarily Closed

In solidarity of the recommended COVID-19 closures and to prioritize the heath and safety of our community and members, Edge Gallery will be temporarily closed.

We anticipate the gallery will be closed through April 12.

The shows by Gayla Lemke, Jason McKinsey and John Horner that were scheduled for March 27-April 12 have been postponed until June 19-July 5.

Please stay connected through social media and our website for updates on future shows and events.

Thank you for your support of Edge Gallery and we hope to see you soon for more of our amazing art shows and events in the Art Hub in the 40 West Arts District.
