Their lives take a tragic turn, and Billy is given one chance to make things right.

“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.
