The Nature of Nurture: Linda Ganstrom
One doesn’t have to be familiar with Linda Ganstrom’s source inspirations to find her ceramic sculptures affecting and accessible … while still retaining an aura of mystery that makes them even more compelling.
In Visible Ink: Alicia (Tweetie) Foster
Foster has a gift for using light and dark to showcase her subjects’ “canvases”, and the tattoo artists’ work upon them, to best effect.
Ongoing Explorations: Steve Rimmer
Steve Rimmer’s watery works feel almost three-dimensional, as though one could reach out and dip fingers into the paintings.
Seasoned with Color: Bruce Mayfield
Art served up as an accompaniment to food and drink should be like a well-composed dish: appealing to the eyes, carefully balanced, stimulating but not overwhelming. Bruce Mayfield’s abstract paintings fill that order nicely.
Cumulus Accumulations: Phil Epp
Phil Epp’s canvases are dominated by deep blue skies filled with spring and summer thunderheads, portending the sort of epic late afternoon thunderstorms that mark much of June and July. It’s both beautiful and intimidating, as the weather around here so often is.
Up the Country: Derrick Breidenthal
Breidenthal’s pieces are both landscape and abstract, conveying not so much a recreation of time and place as suggestions of those things within a framework of open space. Within those suggestions, however, there is plenty of room for interpretation according to each viewer’s own experiences.
Land Life and Stillscape: James Borger
Borger’s juxtaposition of two traditional subjects, landscape and still life, puts a fresh twist on both of them to produces a whole greater than the sum of its already appealing parts.
Hurricane Lampwork: Kari Heybrock
Kari Heybrock’s work is sometimes unmistakable as glass … but at other times, it can suggest ceramic, enamel, even stone. One constant is a bold, bright sense of well-combined color.
Hands and Faces: Gloria Baker-Feinstein
Whether photographing beachgoers in Oregon, students in Africa or kids having fun in a Kansas swimming pool, Baker-Feinstein presents humanity as … well, human. Real people, not abstractions of fun or strength or pain.
Prairie Whispers : Kimberly Casebeer
Casebeer’s oil paintings, part of the current group show at Leopold Gallery in Brookside, are marked by wide vistas, big skies and a contemplative feeling that evokes no speech beyond the murmur and whisper of wind in the prairie grass.
The Inner Cliffhanger: Jeremy Collins
His mixed-media work is full of motion and progress (and even a bit of danger), but it’s all of the symbolic and inner varieties.
