Up & Upcoming This Month
CHARLEY HAFEN GALLERY UP: Love is Not on the Table, recent watercolors, pastels and digital mixed media by Dayle Record. UPCOMING: A Step Back, bromoil prints by Elise LeJeunesse.|0| A prize-winning photographer, LeJeunesse was trained in the rare art of bromoil, a labor-intensive process, which began in the late 1890’s and is currently practiced by a small number of artists worldwide. It is a unique art form, which begins with a black and white photograph. The silver is removed through a bleaching process. Ink is then added back to the bleached image with a variety of techniques. This results in a beautiful painterly quality and rich textures, thus creating a one of a kind art image.

The figures in Barron's paintings, mainly female figures, singular in pensive poses or two sisters, a mother & child or even friends comforting one another, gaze gracefully out toward the viewer.

THE LIVING ROOM UP: In their final exhibit at their Holladay location, The Livingroom presents Bright Future, an exhibition of sculptures and paintings by Los Angeles artist Walpa D'Mark.|6| D’Mark creates DIY cardboard and mixed media sculptures that combine bright colors, and assemblage to explore for spiritual loci within our media-saturated lifestyles. The artist's use of cheap, free and everyday materials such as light bulbs, color swatches, gifts, foam, duct tape, light fixtures, books and cardboard implies that art serves an alchemist's function where ordinary media can comprise spiritual work that is embedded in powerful ideas about history, religion, archaeology, and poetry. Also on view, large-scale paintings by the artist. With a lyrical and profoundly humorous palette, the artist examines psychedelic and Latin American themes, along with imagery and collage concerning the human condition, power, and religion. March 5 - March 27, 2010
Reception: Saturday, March 6: 4 pm - 9pm. In April The Livingroom will be moving to the basement of the Peery Hotel.
