"Paper, Scissors, Rock" by Mindy Bray
Works on Paper and Space Specific Installation
Opening Reception: Friday January 4th,
6–9
pm
Paper, Scissors, Rock will feature paintings and
drawings on paper in watercolor and latex that are both reflective
and critical looks at the ways in which the urban and the
natural landscapes interact.
The exhibition will also include a new large-scale installation, Levee,
which will respond to the waterways that flow through Denver,
as well as our innate attraction to and manipulation of the
city’s underlying natural landscape. The installation
will draw its imagery from Denver’s Confluence Park,
where the Platte River, Cherry Creek, and the LoDo district
of Denver join in a bizarre and beautiful gesture of control,
containment, and pleasure.
Mindy Bray moved to Denver in May of 2006 after graduating
from the MFA program at the University of Iowa in Iowa City.
Originally from Phoenix, Arizona, this will mark the first
solo exhibition by the artist in Colorado.
Artists Talk and Closing Reception: Saturday,
February 2nd, 5 to 7pm
Ironton Studios is open Monday
through Friday from 10 to 4, and Saturdays from 12 to 4. |
