“Genesis: Robin Cole Solo Exhibition” at Gallery 1261

Artist Robin Cole Debuts "Genesis" at Gallery 1261A Journey Between Science and Spirit March 16 30, 2024 Gallery 1261 is proud to present "Genesis," a solo exhibition by Denver-based artist Robin Cole. Drawing from the deep reservoirs of personal transformation and the vastness of the natural world, Cole~s work bridges the realms of science and spirit, presenting a harmonious confluence of the internal and external wilderness.  Artist Statement:My work explores an inner wilderness by way of an outer one. These images come as often from within as without, informed as significantly by emotional texture and imagination as observation. I am interested in elemental experiences that possess this added, dream-like resonance, like a vision of tiny embryonic mysteries, or the ethereal glow of a nameless light in a white landscape. These are the times when the veil feels thin, when an omnipresent but unnoticed magic moves beneath the surface of the ordinary. In my work, I aim to weave this need for understanding into a broader and equally honest experience of imagination. Robin ColeAbout Robin Cole:Nature and those that inhabit itour human selves includedpossess a magic for me, one which I attempt to elicit by working within the bounds of realism as one might work within a poetic form, utilizing the formal constraints to evoke something beyond the boundary of those very limitations. I strive to carve out a compelling space in which those peripheral presences can stand forth, a space of co-existence with both the seen and the unseen. This idea of continuity and reciprocity between landscape and psyche is reflected in many of our myths, legends, and stories both ancient and modern. I am drawn to these primal sources and archetypes of our human storiesstories which, at a fundamental level, are nearly always developed in direct response to our wild, earthly home as a way of explaining, understanding, and relating to its elemental forces. -Robin Cole Genesis: Robin Cole Solo ExhibitionMarch 16 March 30, 2024March 16, 5 - 8 PM.

"Fleeting Presence: The Liminal Art of Daniel Sprick" at the Madden Museum of Art

Announcing the Daniel Sprick Retrospective Exhibition at the Madden Museum of ArtFleeting Presence: The Liminal Art of Daniel SprickThe School of Art & Art History at the University of Denver proudly presents "Fleeting Presence: The Liminal Art of Daniel Sprick" at the Madden Museum of Art, located within the Palazzo Verdi building at 6363 S. Fiddlers Green Cir., Greenwood Village, CO 80111. The exhibition runs through April 28, 2024.This exhibition, curated by 15 graduate students from the Master of Art History program and one undergraduate Fine Arts major, examines Daniel Spricks broad ranging oeuvre spanning portraiture, landscape, still life, and interiors. Student curators selected paintings and drawings from nearly four decades of Spricks work. All told, there are 54 works on view showcasing the evolution of Sprick~s artistic practice.The student-curators worked closely with Sprick to develop the exhibition in which they gained valuable insights and hands-on experience. Under the supervision of Dr. Geoffrey Shamos, this immersive practicum provided students with opportunities to learn from local curators and professionals from esteemed institutions such as the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver and the Denver Art Museum.Daniel Sprick~s hyper-realism is characterized by an embrace of uncertainty, uniting seeming opposites life and death, stillness and dynamism, transience and permanence to transform the mundane into the magical and mysterious. Drawing inspiration from the Dutch realist tradition, especially the works of Johannes Vermeer, Sprick~s art is a manifestation of his expert manipulation of form, space, color, and light. His hauntingly beautiful paintings serve as a mirror to our reality, infused with an undercurrent of melancholy and subliminal meaning.Daniel Sprick is represented at Gallery 1261 in Denver, CO and the Gerald Peters Galleries in Santa Fe, NM.Key Details:Venue: Madden Museum of ArtAddress: 6363 S Fiddlers Green Cir, Greenwood Village, CO 80111 (inside the Palazzo Verdi building).  Hours are:  Monday-Friday, 9am - 5pm.Dates: Through March 29, 2024Opening Reception: January 19, 5 - 9pm.About the Madden Museum of Art: In January 2016, the University of Denver was pleased to accept the Madden Collection as a permanent addition to the Universitys holdings.

These images come as often from within as without, informed as significantly by emotional texture and imagination as observation. I am interested in elemental experiences that possess this added, dream-like resonance, like a vision of tiny embryonic mysteries, or the ethereal glow of a nameless light in a white landscape. These are the times when the veil feels thin, when an omnipresent but unnoticed magic moves beneath the surface of the ordinary. In my work, I aim to weave this need for understanding into a broader and equally honest experience of imagination. Robin ColeAbout Robin Cole:Nature and those that inhabit itour human selves includedpossess a magic for me, one which I attempt to elicit by working within the bounds of realism as one might work within a poetic form, utilizing the formal constraints to evoke something beyond the boundary of those very limitations. I strive to carve out a compelling space in which those peripheral presences can stand forth, a space of co-existence with both the seen and the unseen. This idea of continuity and reciprocity between landscape and psyche is reflected in many of our myths, legends, and stories both ancient and modern. I am drawn to these primal sources and archetypes of our human storiesstories which, at a fundamental level, are nearly always developed in direct response to our wild, earthly home as a way of explaining, understanding, and relating to its elemental forces. -Robin Cole Genesis: Robin Cole Solo ExhibitionMarch 16 March 30, 2024March 16, 5 - 8 PM.

"Fleeting Presence: The Liminal Art of Daniel Sprick" at the Madden Museum of Art

Announcing the Daniel Sprick Retrospective Exhibition at the Madden Museum of ArtFleeting Presence: The Liminal Art of Daniel SprickThe School of Art & Art History at the University of Denver proudly presents "Fleeting Presence: The Liminal Art of Daniel Sprick" at the Madden Museum of Art, located within the Palazzo Verdi building at 6363 S. Fiddlers Green Cir., Greenwood Village, CO 80111. The exhibition runs through April 28, 2024.This exhibition, curated by 15 graduate students from the Master of Art History program and one undergraduate Fine Arts major, examines Daniel Spricks broad ranging oeuvre spanning portraiture, landscape, still life, and interiors. Student curators selected paintings and drawings from nearly four decades of Spricks work. All told, there are 54 works on view showcasing the evolution of Sprick~s artistic practice.The student-curators worked closely with Sprick to develop the exhibition in which they gained valuable insights and hands-on experience. Under the supervision of Dr. Geoffrey Shamos, this immersive practicum provided students with opportunities to learn from local curators and professionals from esteemed institutions such as the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver and the Denver Art Museum.Daniel Sprick~s hyper-realism is characterized by an embrace of uncertainty, uniting seeming opposites life and death, stillness and dynamism, transience and permanence to transform the mundane into the magical and mysterious. Drawing inspiration from the Dutch realist tradition, especially the works of Johannes Vermeer, Sprick~s art is a manifestation of his expert manipulation of form, space, color, and light. His hauntingly beautiful paintings serve as a mirror to our reality, infused with an undercurrent of melancholy and subliminal meaning.Daniel Sprick is represented at Gallery 1261 in Denver, CO and the Gerald Peters Galleries in Santa Fe, NM.Key Details:Venue: Madden Museum of ArtAddress: 6363 S Fiddlers Green Cir, Greenwood Village, CO 80111 (inside the Palazzo Verdi building).  Hours are:  Monday-Friday, 9am - 5pm.Dates: Through March 29, 2024Opening Reception: January 19, 5 - 9pm.About the Madden Museum of Art: In January 2016, the University of Denver was pleased to accept the Madden Collection as a permanent addition to the Universitys holdings.
