Layne Meacham is a child of the fifties. Not the fifties of Ike, apple pie, poodle skirts and crew-cut conformity, but the abstract fifties — the fifties of de Kooning, Kline, Twombly and Dubuffet. Meacham’s artwork is a synthetic form of abstraction, incorporating much of the advances in […]
by Karen Kesler Early last spring I was on a search for artists on behalf of two new Torrey exhibition venues. A friend had mentioned that I needed to see the work of two artists in Escalante — so one beautiful day I cruised down Highway 12 (one […]
by Linda Peer TRASA, the Urban Arts collective, has found a home in a big, handsome, old, brick, factory-looking building on the west side of downtown SLC. The organization, which takes its name from a Sanskrit word describing a moving collective of living beings, is a charitable arts […]
Paganism, gods, deities, seasons and blatant, talented portrayals of nudity immediately greet the guests of Fables Fine Art as they walk in the doors off Exchange Place. What a wonderful start! On Friday evening, the 21st of June, I had the enriching experience of attending an art opening […]

A flurry of visual art activity has blown into Utah along with the hundreds of thousands of international visitors coming to the Wasatch Front for the 2002 Winter Olympic Games. Whether part of the official Cultural Olympiad or part of the vibrant local art world jockeying for […]
Utah’s inversion has turned everything along the Wasatch front a dull, depressing shade of gray. But don’t let a little haze and fog fool you about the color gray. In the right hands it can do marvels. The Eccles Community Art Center is practically reveling in grays, as […]
Everyone likes their PC. And anyone who has purchased, inherited, or illegally copied a piece of imaging software has enjoyed experimenting with distorting, morphing, hazing or otherwise manipulating their photographs. What’s better then being able to take a photograph of your older brother and make his nose swell […]
