Ann Korologos Gallery presents Creative Memory, a group exhibition featuring memories impressed by the landscapes of Colorado, Texas, New Mexico and Utah from the creative minds of Heather Foster, Margaretta Caesar, Cap Pannell and Deborah Paris. Creative Memory is on view at Ann Korologos Gallery in Basalt, CO August 31 to September 24, 2024.
Heather Foster of Santa Fe, New Mexico depicts the wild landscapes of Colorado and New Mexico. Foster explores light at the end of the day, scenes at the end of the road, and solitary cattle, longhorns, and horses that reflect the connection the artist has in solitary moments in nature. The painter enjoys showing evidence of her thought process, leaving the changes and refinements in drawing and the composition evident on the canvas.
Margaretta Caesar is a Colorado painter raised in Pennsylvania. Working from photographic references, Caesar begins with an underpainting, often of red and earthen tones. Caesar builds the landscape on canvas, creating dimensionality with thick brushstrokes and a vibrant palette. Her colorful, nature-based aesthetic is at home amongst the Fauves and the Taos Society of Artists, but it is the artist’s own voice that emerges.
Cap Pannell lives in Dallas, Texas, and has been a designer, illustrator, and painter for over 35 years. Pannell works in oil on canvas and does multi-media printmaking, interpreting nature from his photographs and drawings. Edgar Degas, J.M.W. Turner, and Andrew Wyeth are among his most admired influences and like them, he seeks to record moods and moments. His representational landscapes focus on a simple, dramatic statement celebrating light and the seasons in the south, east and west.
Deborah Paris is a Texas-based American landscape painter whose work reflects an intense, intuitive connection to the natural world and its rhythms. Paris returned to her call as an artist after twenty years as a practicing lawyer, and her paintings depict the vibrancy she feels in the Aspen groves of Colorado and the woods of Texas. Based on a foundation of intense observation, drawing, memory and imagination, Deborah Paris produces both bold abstract works and quiet tonalist scenes, all full of mystery and mood.
