Universe City (2556 Washington Blvd, 801.458.8959) UP: Paintings by Richard Ramos. Ramos says he grew up a shy kid, easily intimidated, and developed his imagination as a refuge from the extrenal world. A graduate of Weber State University,Ramos is influenced both by the European Surrealists, and their contemporaries, the Mexican muralists. Ramos He infuses this historical palette with a touch of the street in his graffiti influence. "I seek to represent something recognizable as real, such as the figure or animals, but always distorted by the imagination." He says the paintings develope in the same way as a dream or memory, beginning with a concrete image or feeling, but quickly pushed forward by a stream of consciousness to develop in uncharted directions.

Caffe Ibis (52 Federal Ave 435.753.4777) UP: Vertical landscapes by Royden Card. The VERTICAL LANDSCAPE SLICE paintings fall somewhere between the German Expressionist painter, Alex Jawlensky’s injunction that art should be “a great shock”, and Henri Matisse’s counsel that a painting should be analogous to “a great comfortable armchair in which a man cold settle into and enjoy after a days’ labor”. The paintings are relatively small 12 to 24 inches tall and 2 1/2 to 4 inches wide. They tend to gently “shock” with their intense color and nearly abstract structure. They are fragments which hint at a whole and may be likened to a salient, quotable phrase lifted from an expansive poem or essay. Through September 18.
