David Clark    New Growth

New Growth represents a continuation of my interest in making mixed media compositions using botanical forms as source material.  In 2023, my increased fondness for oil paint resulted in it becoming a dominant medium in 6 of the show’s 10 pieces.

Lydia Ferrell    Here Comes A Regular

This show is a collection of older works that I haven’t been able to show anywhere in Denver until now. Some of the paintings are smaller works from residencies I’ve done over the years but I’ve never had a chance to actually put in a show. My goal with this show is to also see how much I’ve grown since making these. The show is titled “Here Comes A Regular” after the song by The Replacements, because to me some old paintings of mine feel like old friends that I see around now and then. The song also makes me happy I’m still sober.

Harita Patel     Stitched into Belief

Harita Patel’s new series of meditative works combine needlework techniques, printmaking, and poetry to convey the subtle but real relationships between human thought, belief, possibility, and action.

If each thread is a thought, 
then each stitch is a belief, 
We create the conditions that liberate and bind us.

Jennifer Pettus   Nearly There

In this latest work, I continue my exploration of the body’s shifting relationship to the biological and sociological elements that define it. Taking inspiration from the narrative strength of theatrical costumes and props, as well as the use of timeworn materials, I use improvisation as a transformative practice. More specifically, I hope to make viewers aware of their physical reaction to materials and how that might be connected to their assumptions about art and craft. By walking the line between the two I create objects that evade explanation and expand perceptions of beauty and value.

Edge Gallery presents an invitational exhibition of PlatteForum’s ArtLab — featuring socially engaged art created by youth. ArtLab interns collectively created a body of work inspired by social justice issues affecting their community, current generations, and future generations.

Spoiled Echoes  delves into the complexities of societal issues that our current and younger generations feel have been unsuccessfully addressed. Here, PlatteForum ArtLab’s interns explore the concept of ‘Spoiled Echoes,’ where the resonance of problems persists despite being acknowledged or intentionally disregarded.

Through diverse mediums ranging from paper collages to digital artworks, these creations serve as a powerful voice, challenging the privilege of detachment and offering a space for dialogue on persisting, often ignored, issues of Housing Justice, Mental Health, Climate Change, and Reproductive rights.

The exhibition invites viewers to analyze the layers of interpretation in these ‘spoiled echoes’. All of which encourage a reflection of how these social issues impact our current and future generations.

Faith Williams Dyrsten    Bountiful Lines

A celebration of the connections between plants, pollinators, and the foods we enjoy.

Faith Williams’ geometric designs combine dry-point printmaking and custom plateware in order to create an artistic table set for the appreciation of our foods and their origins. Her process merges scientific illustration of plant and insect specimens, combined with playful illustration of linework that dances between structured pattern and organic imagery.

Also featuring handmade pottery by guest artist Carrie Hastings.

Travis Vermilye     Reclamation

Reclamation examines my relationship with plastics as an American consumer, the ways we discard and dispose of plastics as a society, and ultimately, reclamation of the planet by organisms and lifeforms long after we’re gone.

Kay D. Galvan In Stillness

In stillness we are between acts of doing. As hectic as life generally is, it can be difficult to even recognize that in-between state, much less spend time resting in it. I find that when I can relax into stillness, I uncover answers to problems and discover a sense of well-being. Images and insights are shaken loose and become available to manipulate. It is stillness that offers me a fresh view of the world and new ways to express it.

I found these painted images there, and I also found ways to work with fiber, a medium that is new to me. These pieces placed in this space are my sum experience of the past year as I alternated between total rest and action.

Gail Wagner     Lusus Naturae

Where is the line between plant and animal, beauty and ugliness, chaos and order? Gail Wagner questions dualities in her latest exhibition of acrylic paintings, Lusus Naturae. Combining abstractions from different organisms, Wagner invents her own “Freaks of Nature.” Unclassifiable creatures, “scientific” symbols, and decorative patterns merge together in a harmony that bridges distinctions between opposing worlds.

Phil Rader     Understanding & Growth

As always, my oil paintings are improvisations. I attempt to create a totally different piece every time by having nothing preplanned. In the pieces, I use as much unconscious intuition as possible, balanced by the artistic principles of unity. In this manner, I expose my unconscious in a visual image in which both the viewer and myself can acquire a better understanding of who I am, at the moment of creation. Using this experimental process also promotes growth as an artist due to the non-repetition of compositions. Hopefully, the viewer will be enticed to take a closer look and attain a better understanding of the unification process of the composition. By doing this, hopefully, you will grow to appreciate this style of painting more.

John Horner      Bare Bones

In this new series, I start where I ended in a previous series, Leviathan: Extrapolations on Convergent Evolution, but instead of working with charismatic marine megafauna, I explicitly explored what literally lay underneath the skin–the skull. Here if you think about it is an extraordinary thing that some animals ‘which became vertebrates “ some 530 million years ago begin to develop a internal frame made of various types of calcium and phosphate and a dash of other minerals that make up a complex matrix of collagen cells that support and protect the internal organs of the body. To a great degree, our bones resist gravity and allow us to move through space with some efficiency, and of course, our bodies have been adapted by evolutionary pressures to work best in certain environments, the result of this is a tremendous variety of bodily forms ranging from lampreys, fish, tetrapods, birds and mammals.

I explored a small sample of the various shapes of mammal and avian skulls of animals that interested me and that I found wondrous and beautiful. As always, these series start as an excuse to draw, then  I later translate the images with different and more challenging mediums. In my exhibition, I have 10 etchings, 3 monotype stencil prints, and 2 paintings . It is my hope that people will enjoy these images and contemplate the wonder and mystery of life as much as I have.
