\"\"<\/a>University of Utah College of Science: Life of Tree Returns to Life in the College of Science<\/strong><\/p>\n

Few people know that Utah is an art-hungry, art-friendly state. It sports the first state arts council, dating back to 1899, three short years after statehood;\u00a0 more pianos per capita than anywhere else; literary and performing arts and, more to the point here, visual arts. In 1985, the Utah State Legislature passed the\u00a0Utah Percent-for-Art Act \u00a0which designates 1% of construction costs of new and\/or renovated state public buildings to be added to the project for the purpose of commissioning, maintaining and conserving site-specific art at, on, or in the facility. The collection includes a broad range of media from textiles and glass to stone and metal monumental works, and in the lobby of the Crocker Science Center it’s art that moves in a compelling manner that may surprise you.<\/p>\n

While painting carries a storied and culturally rich history, mixed media has in the last century or so challenged preconceived notions of art\u2014namely the cultural preoccupation with beauty and narrative realism.<\/p>\n

In an exhibition entitled Inexorable Truth, artists Kheng Lim and Colour Maisch utilize drastically distinct mediums to defy expectations of painting and sculpture respectively. Lim\u2019s paintings pair with Maisch\u2019s multimedia sculptures to demonstrate the visual power of artistic labor, and how the materiality of a given medium betrays the aesthetic decisions the artist took to arrive at the finished work.<\/p>\n

… Creativity for me comes from within and from my surroundings. It\u2019s letting my heart and hands engage with the materials to express feelings, memories, and my conscious and subconscious thoughts. I draw inspiration from everything around me, nature, my travels and my love for colors and patterns. Certainly, there is so much beauty around us, we just need to pause to take note! …<\/p>\n
