The Clyfford Still Museum is situated in Denver, Colorado, at the foot of the Rockies at an elevation that makes those unused to this altitude gasp. When we ascend to the top of a ridge and look out at the vast expanse, we might enjoy a sense of achievement at scaling that terrain or revel at the expanse that spreads before us, but we may also experience the smallness of our own individual existence. This experience might be tinged with a fear of tumbling, being engulfed, or disappearing in the face of such grandeur. Generations of Western artists and intellectuals, especially beginning in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, have described [...]

The annual Masks exhibition and fundraiser is a crowd favorite that over the years has raised more than $1.9 million dollars to support the museum’s mission. During that time, Masks artists, most of whom live in Northern Colorado, have designed and donated more than 3,250 masks.

This work is a continuation of themes and images Kevin has used for many years. However, in these paintings, he has dropped some of the more overt signals and symbols that he previously felt the work needed to confer a sense of "gravitas". This work takes a simpler approach and lets the imagery simply sing forth as it is – a riotous collection of flowers, an agricultural landscape of a plowed field, or a pile of clocks on the ground. That said, these paintings are not simplistic or shallow. Instead, they take the cliché of a vase of flowers and allow it to explode into an extravagant mess of color. A couple of dice thrown on the ground beneath the floral [...]

In K Contemporary’s Project Space, Kuzana Ogg’s “Persuasion" explores transitory states of mind, body, and spirit. The artist’s latest compositions use oil tints and mineral spirits to create soft washes of pigment that blend and bleed into one another. The canvases that result are open and soaring, beckoning viewers into their vacuous depths. Kuzana says the works in “Persuasion” are all, in a sense, gateways or portals. “The imagery is about persuading/ coaxing/ inviting the viewer to make contact with the divine, higher self.” Appropriately, many of the works in the exhibition are titled after stars, which have long served as both tools for [...]
