Gallery Walk: Flavia’s Junquiera – The Absurd and the Grace

Gilman Contemporary

Brazilian artist Flávia Junquiera’s poetic photographs pay homage to monumental architecture and the ephemeral essence of childhood. Dreamlike and playful, Junquiera creates carefully staged site-specific installations and then captures them on film. Imagine grand theaters filled with balloons, a lone and riderless carousel horse intruding upon an ornate library, balloons and bubbles littering the grounds and floating above Rio de Janeiro’s Parque Lage. Infused with a sense of wonder, Junquiera captures a nostalgic vision that dwells in the magical realm of childhood. Each photograph not only commemorates an installation but also celebrates the lightness and brightness of the unexpected.

Andrew Skorut and Mark Gibson, featuring Gunnar Tryggmo Opening Reception

Kneeland Gallery

Opening Reception: Friday August 30th, 5-7.30pm Andrew Skorut and Mark Gibson, featuring new watercolors from Gunnar Tryggmo Andrzej Skorut was born and spent his early years in Krakow, Poland before immigrating to the U.S. in 1987. At first glance his paintings appear to be simple landscapes but further study reveals that they are as abstract as they are representational. He reveals concealed depths within his surfaces through layers of paint and glaze, which he then partially removes with rags, sticks and other objects. Born and raised in Montana, Mark Gibson originally trained in architecture. This formal training had a direct effect on the architectural forms of the teepees that characterize his work. Gibson has been pushing himself to focus on purity of color and masterful composition, working to move the viewer’s eye around the entire piece. Most recently he has been working on increasing the scale of his works, which has contributed to his achievement of creating a powerful mood and atmosphere in each painting. Swedish artist Gunnar Tryggmo is inspired by animals and birds in their natural habitat. The values, mood and moment are the most important elements in the treatment of his contemporary watercolors.
