Art Exhibit: "Inclinations" by Ann Royer

"Inclinations”  Main Floor Exhibition Artists tend to gravitate to familiar inspirations. As a multidisciplinary artist with over 60 years of creating artwork, Ann Royer has developed distinct bodies of work that, at times, overlap with similar content and execution. This exhibition focuses on the evolution of these themes over periods of time and what compositions return to the forefront of ideation. Ann’s process doesn’t revolve around reviewing past creations and expanding upon them. Rather, each work begins with a fresh slate driven by the innate push to make and be beholden to her inclinations. On display are parallels drawn between new paintings and selections that span decades. Ann Royer was born in Sioux City, Iowa. She began taking classes at the Sioux City Art Center as a young child, shortly after the Art Center opened in 1938. After studying at the Colorado College Fine Arts Center and the University of Minnesota, she began creating art professionally in Duluth and quickly achieved wide acclaim. Her works have been exhibited nationally and internationally, with permanent collections across the U.S. in homes and corporations. Her paintings are best known for growing tendril lines, sweeping bold blocks of color, voluminous shapes filled with patterns, and sharp geometry. Her wide repertoire consists of abstracts, female figures, florals, and her beloved horses. She says of her work, “I have always thought each person looks at art bringing with them their own experiences, which governs what they see- no one should interfere with that process.” www.gildedpeargallery.com/inclinations 2024-04-20 14:00:00 -0500

Art Exhibit: "The Idea of Color" by Julia Kottal

"The Idea of Color": 2nd Floor Gallery Julia Kottal is a true painter’s painter. Her love of the medium and the action of painting shows in the work—the effortless blending of pigments and the deliberate, yet unrestrained gestural marks. “The ‘Idea of Color’  is powerful”, she says. “Communication between the color and the composition are so important to me. I see color next to each other as blocks or shapes (like stained glass or quilting) and how I develop those shapes into the composition is vital. How the hues converse with each other is how I proceed.” The completion of the painting is dictated by an emotional call and response with the artist. They are tethered, coexisting, responding to one another. Julia is a native mid-westerner born in Michigan. She studied art in Florida, Maryland and California before moving to Iowa in 1992. She has a B.A., with painting as her emphasis, from Coe College. Her work has been exhibited nationally and found in private and public collections including Alliant Energy, Cedar Rapids Museum of Art, Coe College, Miami University, Millhiser Smith, Terry Lockridge and Dunn, and United Fire Group, among others. Her works are characterized by the loose interpretation of the landscape as abstract oil on canvas and watercolor on paper. She is currently a full-time artist. www.gildedpeargallery.com/the-idea-of-color 2024-04-20 14:00:00 -0500
