The new gallery and studio of Karen Horne offers Utah artists a concrete vision of an integrated artistic life. Karen Horne has managed to combine her life as painter with the need for studio and gallery space. Skylights in the studio offer natural light and after coming back to Utah from New York City, the studio\u2019s space is abundant and now offers room for figurative still-life exploration.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the gallery, which opened this past month, Horne plans to represent herself and her mother\u2019s work initially. In the future, Horne wants to offer the community a series of themed group shows, and represent a handful of artists\u2019 work. <\/span>

The premier showing at Horne Fine Art features Karen Horne, paintings and pastels, and landscape paintings by Phyllis F. Horne. The gallery offers viewers a retrospective glimpse of their artistic lives. Both painters are included in \u201cthe 100 Most Honored Artists of Utah\u201d at the Springville Museum of Art.<\/p>\n

Most impressive in the current exhibition is Karen Horne\u2019s crowd scenes in \u201cSoldier Hollow I,\u201d where people in mass are represented as abstract marks, drawing hatches of pastel, waiting in line at a 2002 Olympic Event. Every mark is expressive and intended on the medium gray-grounded paper. All the light comes from the sun\u2019s reflection on white pastel snow. The shadows are the color of the cool gray paper and the central figure is highlighted in a pink sweater within the gray shadows of the onlookers.<\/p>\n

\nThis example of Horne\u2019s color block expressionism show her passion for color theory and its affects on the viewing eye. Horne\u2019s paintings represent stills of public life; the Utah Arts Festival, Brumby\u2019s caf\u00e9, east coastal crowds and children at beaches. The viewer pays close attention to how Karen uses shadow to define the composition of the painting. These cool shadows define her focus on color theory and how the eye visually mixes colors and abstracts space putting Joseph Albert\u2019s color theory studies into practice.<\/span><\/p>\n

Phyllis Horne\u2019s attention to abstract detail in \u201cEvening Snow\u201d includes light reflecting on snowflakes. Phyllis\u2019s paintings inspire the viewer to place themselves in her forest, garden, season, and time. Her paintings have nostalgia behind them and carry excellent visual narrative. Her subtle highlights and intense color make the canvases glow. The gallery itself is warm and inviting and offers Salt Lake City a great space to experience art. Don\u2019t miss this one every month for gallery stroll even though its off the beaten path.<\/p>\n

Horne Fine Art is located at 142 East 800 South, or hornefineart.com<\/a> , or call 533-4200 for gallery hours and appointments.<\/i>
