Details: Image 1435589 Unfurl A look into the private ideas of world-renowned artists Guest-curated by gallery artist Mia Bergeron August 21 - September 26, 2015 Opening Reception: Friday, August 21, 6-9 pm Participating artists: Jennifer Balkan, David Cheifetz, Casey Childs, Rachel Constantine, Stephen Early, Nathan Ford, Felicia Forte, Rose Frantzen, Ron Hicks, Michael Gadlin, Quang Ho, Susan Lyon, Jeremy Mann, Ann Marshall, Teresa Oaxaca, Katherine Stone, David Gluck, Daniel Sprick, Joseph Todorovitch, Henrik Uldalen, Aaron Westerberg, Zhaoming Wu, Anna Wypych, Vincent Xeus, Zack Zdrale Gallery 1261 and guest curator, artist Mia Bergeron, are proud to present Unfurl. Comprised of 25 invited artists, including gallery artists as well as guests, from the US and Europe, "Unfurl" draws on the idea of true creative freedom. Selected artists have been asked to create works of art that are created without boundaries. Many of these artists will be working in different media, themes, scale, and subjects than what they have become known for creating. The objective of "Unfurl" is to host not only an exhibit that stretches the limits of what each artist is capable of manifesting, but also to invite collectors to view a potentially untold and private part of these artists' creativity. Process pics: Image 1825775 Image 1825776 Image 1825777 Image 1825778 Image 1825779 Given the urgent timeline for this painting, I gave myself constraints: Work with a nice frame I already had, and use fast drying paints (alkyds). Throughout the process I would prop the unfinished painting in the frame to make sure the whole piece would be unified. I used both knife and brush. Image 1825781 Testing this stage in the frame.

My two young children gave me all the inspiration I needed for this special experimental piece. The concept came to me gradually over the course of several early-morning excursions. If you are in the Denver area, check out Unfurl on the 21st! Amazing lineup. Image 1828293 _____ WORKSHOPS I will be resuming my workshop schedule beginning in October.
