Critiquing Your Own Paintings
Critiques are interesting animals; some are big and hairy while others can seem small and cuddly. Like judging in an art competition, they are all dependent on the artistic paradigm of the person doing the critique. Sometimes the best critiques are the simplest ones, like when my wife […]

Justin Wheatley at 15th Street Gallery
by Ehren Clark To everything there is a surface, a façade, an outward appearance. With most of life, the truth of the matter is distorted by the façade, by the physicality, limited by what the eye can see that is only an artificial layer to truth. Justin Wheatley’s […]

The Tip of the Iceberg: Video Work at UMOCA
Not since the construction of City Creek Center has there been such a racket on West Temple. Eight videos in UMOCA’s summer exhibition Cantastoria are creating quite a ruckus in the usually hushed galleries, as a cacophony of chanting, giggling and clicking converges in the subterranean galleries. For those accustomed […]

“Ocean” How does one harness the imagination to the point where it traverses the divide between a free flow of excessive creativity and provocative fine art? Gia Whitlock’s canvases currently on exhibit at Salt Lake’s 15th Street Gallery suggest an answer. A multi-media artist who experiments with materials […]
The Face of Utah Sculpture VIII
Far from the display of challenging aesthetic statements that make up many modern art shows, this one is immediately accessible and, in place of consternation, is more likely to generate feelings of pleasure, fun, and even exhilaration.
