Ann Korologos Gallery presents The Art of Connection, a group exhibition exploring art as a means of connection to each other, to place, to memory, and to mediums. The exhibition is on view December 1, 2022 through January 4, 2023 at Ann Korologos Gallery in downtown Basalt and virtually at korologosgallery.com.
“As a gallery, we celebrate the beauty of connection created by art, and our goal is for everyone who visits to find happiness as they discover something new with each experience, and ultimately, art they’ll love to live with,” reflects gallery director, Sue Edmonds. “In The Art of Connection, we invited forty painters, sculptors, printmakers and mixed media artists to share works of art that represent their interpretation of connection for the artist or viewer.”
The works selected explore the theme of connection from many angles: depictions of a favorite locale, pastime, tradition or family lore; ways of connecting with each other or self through a moment or gesture; connections with a passion and love. The Art of Connection showcases work by Peter Campbell, Veryl Goodnight, Lisa Gordon, Paula Schuette Kraemer, Linda Lillegraven, Leon Loughridge, Joel Ostlind, Lloyd Schermer, Brett Scheifflee, Rick Stevens, Andy Taylor, Michael Wisner, Diana Woods, Dan Young, and more.
The Art of Connection is on view December 1, 2022 through January 4, 2023 at Ann Korologos Gallery in Basalt, Colorado. View the exhibition in person at 211 Midland Avenue, Basalt, CO, or virtually at korologosgallery.com.
“Drawings are the seeds of invention. These experiments feed the process and the eventual paintings. Careful renderings are met with expressive gestures, the outcome often a gamble, with the hope of depth, mystery and intrigue surfacing. It is the balance of opposites, precision and suggestion, fact and feeling, holding on and letting go. Employing charcoal, lead, multiple erasers, and blending stumps, a drawing comes to life, a visual reference that is part of a bigger story. It is accurate depiction followed by soulful interpretation. The final work is intended to invite contemplation.”
