TINY FRUITS by SARAH BIRD

Hemmings Gallery

Opening December 12th, “Tiny Fruits” is a solo exhibition of oil paintings by artist Sarah Bird at Hemmings Gallery in Ketchum. Bird is an Idaho- and Oregon-based realist oil painter. She draws on nineteenth-century techniques and seventeenth-century imaginative Flemish perspectives to weave still life and landscape into intimate tabletop worlds that sometimes tip into the surreal. In her arrangements, both individually and taken together, one can also see the passing of the seasons and a loose calendar of a year, of a life, emerges. These pieces are the “tiny fruits” of seasonal pleasures and of painting. Bird paints only with a very small, size zero round brush which makes the process similar to egg tempura painting or needlework: the whole surface is carefully, heavily touched. Come meet the artist at the Opening Reception on December 29th from 5:00-7:30 pm, same night as the local gallery walk.

STRATA: JEFF JUHLIN

Hemmings Gallery

Juhlin has spent decades studying western landscapes, specifically the Great Basin and the high arid desert of the Kaiparowits Plateau in Southern Utah. His mixed media works consist of layers of paper, ink, paint and wax. "Although I don’t consider myself a landscape painter, I seek to reflect a sense of stillness, vast space and the visual history of time evident in the western landscape. My paintings allude to the raw typography and the amazing colors and light from where I live. In this environment, time often reveals itself in the form of rock strata that is both built up and worn away by the elements in a continuous process. Similarly in my work, I reveal layers of translucent strata composed of pigmented & cold wax, oil paint, paper and other media that are built up and worn away in the storied layers of the creative process." Please join us for Gallery Walk night on Friday, 2/16, from 5:00-7:30PM to celebrate the show.

EZRA SIEGEL

Hemmings Gallery

Ezra Siegel has spent over thirty years exploring forms, shapes and paint surfaces to create something that is both simple and complex. His paintings are both empty and full, ordered yet improvised.

His work suggests a minimalist approach but exhibits a human touch in the hope that the viewer can experience beauty through imperfection and subtlety.

SPENCER HANSEN

Hemmings Gallery

Selected works on display at Hemmings Gallery (340 Walnut Ave) from July 30 @ 11:00 am - August 24 @ 5:00 pm "The interplay between exploration and heritage lies at the heart of Spencer Hansen's artistic journey. His childhood in rural Idaho cultivated an intricate relationship with familial tradition, while his nomadic nature exposed him to diverse landscapes. Hansen has been living and working part time in Bali since 2007, where he co-created his main workshop and studio. Within his studio space, Spencer collaborates with Indonesian artisans to experiment with and refine processes, spanning from woodcarving to ceramics, metalworking to design.  His reverence for a handmade approach and his own interest in exploring new processes creates an ever-evolving connection between his team and his creations. His interest in sharing an experience through technical resonance plays a crucial role in his choice of medium, which consists mostly of natural materials. His intentional approach throughout his practice culminates in multimedia sculptures that evoke an otherworldly tenderness within viewers, embodying personas that encompass elements of his playful imagination."

CUBBY WEST SPAIN & ANSLEY WEST RIVERS

Hemmings Gallery

A joint show by two sisters who are inspired by the beauty and importance of preserving wilderness areas. Cubby West Spain is a painter who uses line and shape to find and define forms in the landscape. Working with gouache, watercolor, acrylic and oils, Spain paints subjects such as western landscapes and the American buffalo employing her distinct use of pattern and intentional brush strokes. Ansley West Rivers is an artist whose photographic practice focuses on the intersection of landscape and humanity. For the past ten years, Rivers has been photographing American rivers including her own watershed in Idaho's Teton Valley. Using historical photographic techniques and a large format film camera, she layers several shots on each piece of film with masking made in camera to create an expansion on the singular landscape image.
