Up and Upcoming: To The North
Exhibition Listings in Northern Utah
PARK CITY
Terzian Galleries UP: New works by Doug Braithwaite and Lane Bennion. Braithwaite works primarily in plein air and his subject matter focuses on the surrounding Utah and Mountain West landscape.|0| His bold and linear brushstrokes create a mosaic on the canvas and are exquisite in their ability to convey realism as well as abstraction. Lane Bennion is well known for his “interior landscapes”. A graduate of the University of Utah in Medical Illustration, his paintings are patient studies in composition, light and color. A master at constructing a painting, Lane is able to freeze chaotic moments and transform them into quiet scenes that invite the viewer to reflect, ponder and participate.|1|
Julie Nester Gallery UP: Native Mumbling: Sori Sori, new paintings by Hyunmee Lee.|2| Lee combines bold, expressive brushstrokes with soft, subdued fields of color, thereby creating a strikingly beautiful balance in composition and design. Lee was born in Korea and her spontaneous yet deliberate brushstrokes pay homage to the early training in calligraphy she received during her childhood. The series of paintings within Native Mumbling represent a personal arrival to a meditative state where the Korean letters become gestures. Through January 25.
Gallery MAR UP: The Good Things,
new works by Mary Scrimgeour|3| and Ron Russon.|4| Bold colors and thick, textural paint typify both artists. Each artist paints their current obsession; Scrimgeour is presently exploring the idea of “perfect objects” and both the hunt and meaning of that journey. Russon’s interest in wildlife, from a young age, attracts him to our local fauna: moose, elk, deer, and tractor. UPCOMING: Menagerie, colorful, line-heavy wildlife works by Amy Ringholz.|5| Opens January 13.
Kimball Art Center UP: Curtis Olson: New Works. Olson's artwork is a reflection of his interest in the land and buildings of the isolated splendor of the western landscape. His abstracted landscapes, composed around the classical proportioning system of the golden section, create a distinct feeling of place with the colors, textures and photography working together to create work at once vibrant and nostalgic.|6| In the Badami Gallery through January 11. AND: Kent Budge: In Plain Sight. Kent Budge’s approach to photography brings an awareness of color and composition to everyday subject matter. His attention to otherwise forgettable scenes transports them into ones of artistic and visual interest.|7| In the Garage Gallery, Through January 11. AND: Park City Collects presents the stories behind signature pieces in the collections of various art aficionados from the Park City community.

Nora Eccles Harrison Museum of Art UP: Bang! Thwack! Plop! %#$&!!!
Comics: an Influence on Contemporary Art explores the intersection of comics and art with specific attention on how certain themes and stylistic forms have crossed over from the genre of comics into the world of visual art.

UPCOMING: Fragments of Terror: Drawings by Jim Starrett features approximately 25 drawings showing, in the words of Patrick E. White, how Starrett's works, "...vibrate with such cool passion, such fiery ice, that they seem at once both hard products of a systematic rationality, of an almost mechanical design, and works of extraordinary emotional resonance." Opens January 11, 5-7 pm.
