Solo Exhibition and Group Shows for the year.

The new exhibition dates have been set. We are eagerly anticipating the shows from these contemporary artists. Their newest works will become available just before the opening dates, so stay tuned to your favorite artists pages.

Douglas Fryer Solo Exhibition: Echoes

September 11 - 24, Artist Reception Friday September 11, 4 - 6pm

Fryer's studio process is physically demanding and deliberately reductive. He builds each painting through broad initial decisions about value and color, then scrapes, revises, and strips the surface back until the subject settles into place on its own terms. Atmosphere does the structural work. Form gets used only sparingly, to describe his rustic environments.

Robert LaDuke Solo Exhibition: The Open Road

September 25 - October 8, Artist Reception Friday September 25, 4 - 6pm

Robert LaDuke has spent three decades painting the American road as memory carries it. The Open Road follows Cadillacs and Airstreams, antique toys, diners and rodeo grounds rendered in bright, antique color. Personal references fold gently into these paintings, memories of his family and childhood woven into the scenery without explanation.

The Creative Spark

NOVEMBER 20th - DECEMBER 3

The Creative Spark opens at Meyer Gallery on November 20th, bringing together twenty-four artists who treat art history as raw material rather than a rulebook. Curators Natalie Featherston and Anthony Waichulis built the show around a simple conviction: technical mastery and tradition are the foundation of originality, not a limit on it. Every artist here has studied the old methods closely enough to know what to keep and what to break. The result is work that carries centuries of craft forward into subjects and sensibilities entirely of this moment. This is not a nostalgia show. It is proof that the past keeps generating new art, as long as someone is willing to wrestle with it.

CURRENT CATALOG

Douglas Fryer: Echoes

Fryer lives and works in Spring City, Utah, surrounded by the agricultural terrain of the Sanpete Valley. That familiarity informs everything here, though Echoes presses it toward something quieter than documentation. He has spoken of seeking subjects with beauty and an edge, something complex and a little harsh, as present in the corner of a hayfield as in any grand vista. In this exhibition, that sensibility has grown more interior. The sensation of time passing through a place, of images altered by memory, gives the work its particular pressure.

Echoes is on view September 11 - 24.

Artist Reception to meet Douglas on Friday September 11, from 4 - 6 pm.

UPCOMING SOLO EXHIBITION

Robert LaDuke: The Open Road

The Open Road returns Robert LaDuke to the American highway. A Cadillac tows an Airstream past diners glowing at twilight, desert landscapes tower over travelers in classic roadsters caravans. Rodeo grounds, quiet motels, and old filling stations roll past, rivers holding the reflection of towns overhead. LaDuke paints a country pulled straight from memory, one small town at a time. The paintings are unique in the contemporary market that blend old school and new paint. Come see it in person at the gallery.

The Open Road is on view September 25 - October 8.

Artist Reception to meet Douglas on Friday September 25, from 4 - 6 pm.
