Art Exhibit: "Connections" by Laura Young
<p><u>"Connections": 2<sup>nd</sup> Floor Gallery</u></p><p>“As a painter, I am particularly interested in the metaphorical aspects of light and how the amount of light in a picture affects our mood and reaction. I live in a small contemporary house in the woods in Iowa City. A studio is a few yards from my house where I work. I see the early morning light filtering through the trees each day, the light sparkling off the water of a small creek as well as the twilight time when the owls come out to hunt for their prey. I often think of the work of the 19th century American landscape painter, George Inness, who lived and worked in Montclair, NJ where I lived for many years when my children were growing up. His dark fields and forests with a minimal, yet powerful light leaking through the trees and brush somewhere in the middle ground creates a yearning for something beyond the horizon, something intangible. The light pulls one forward.”</p><p>Laura Young is a painter, currently living in Iowa City, Iowa where she is a Lecturer in the School of Art and Art History at the University of Iowa. She has won numerous fellowships and awards such as a Pollock Krasner Foundation Fellowship (1994), two Iowa Arts Council Grants (1997 and 2001), The Tyrone Guthrie Centre Residency (2006), among others. Laura Young has shown across the United States in museums, commercial galleries, juried and group shows, as well as internationally in Denmark and Nigeria. <a href="http://www.gildedpeargallery.com/connections">www.gildedpeargallery.com/connections</a></p><p><br></p><p>Concurrently showing in Main Floor Gallery: <a href="http://www.gildedpeargallery.com/rare-earth">www.gildedpeargallery.com/rare-earth </a></p>

Art Exhibit: "Rare Earth" by John Preston and Ellen Wagener
<p><u>"Rare Earth": Main Floor Exhibition</u></p><p>This exhibition showcases the idea of a Rare Earth, moments on our planet captured through the lens of two unique artistic voices, depicting the phenomenal beauty of the land with its companions and features— acknowledging it’s scarcity and eventual potential to be non-existent. Midwestern tableaux are discovered through farm, field and water and highlight the beauty in the ‘everyday’ or the moments we’ve possibly overlooked.</p><p>John Preston lives in Fairfield, Iowa, but grew up on the east coast. He has been painting the Midwestern landscape since 1984. Preston's paintings primarily depict the dramatic climate of the Midwest, as well as its expansive skies and rolling fields. They often represent particular locations against a backdrop of weather events from observation, memory and where necessary, imagination. “The move to watercolor reflects a desire to transition from 'finished' paintings to more of a 'complete sketch'”. Preston has exhibited nationally and is in many public and private collections, including Iowa State University, John Deere and the Chicago Federal Reserve.</p><p>Ellen Wagener was born in Maquoketa and grew up in DeWitt, Iowa. Known for her stormy clouds, burning fields, dust storms, and tornadoes moving across prairies and fields, Wagener took a new approach after her move to Arizona in 2001. Her work takes the quintessential Midwestern landscape in series and at large scale, and uses sketches, photographs and her memory to create vivid evocations in pastel of particular weather patterns and times of day. Her work has been shown nationwide and is in the collections of the Cedar Rapids Museum of Art, Iowa State University, the University of Iowa Museum of Art, the Tucson Museum of Art and the Figge Art Museum. <a href="https://www.gildedpeargallery.com/rare-earth">www.gildedpeargallery.com/rare-earth</a></p><p><br></p><p>Concurrently showing: "Connections" by Laura Young: <a href="http://www.gildedpeargallery.com/connections">www.gildedpeargallery.com/connections</a></p>

Fresh Folk: Red Cedar Chamber Music
<p>Red Cedar Chamber Music’s directors and core ensemble, violinist Miera Kim and cellist Carey Bostian, present folk music from around the world in the first of a series of programs commissioning new settings of folk music. Red Cedar has always loved exploring different genres of music in their programming. With this in mind, they have begun an ongoing commissioning project. In May 2022, Red Cedar sent out a call for proposals for new settings of folk music for violin and cello. Over the next several years, new works will be commissioned representing cultures from around the world, with the goal of expanding the violin and cello duo repertory and eventually recording a compact disc.

Art Exhibit: "Connections" by Laura Young
<p><u>"Connections": 2<sup>nd</sup> Floor Gallery</u></p><p>“As a painter, I am particularly interested in the metaphorical aspects of light and how the amount of light in a picture affects our mood and reaction. I live in a small contemporary house in the woods in Iowa City. A studio is a few yards from my house where I work. I see the early morning light filtering through the trees each day, the light sparkling off the water of a small creek as well as the twilight time when the owls come out to hunt for their prey. I often think of the work of the 19th century American landscape painter, George Inness, who lived and worked in Montclair, NJ where I lived for many years when my children were growing up. His dark fields and forests with a minimal, yet powerful light leaking through the trees and brush somewhere in the middle ground creates a yearning for something beyond the horizon, something intangible. The light pulls one forward.”</p><p>Laura Young is a painter, currently living in Iowa City, Iowa where she is a Lecturer in the School of Art and Art History at the University of Iowa. She has won numerous fellowships and awards such as a Pollock Krasner Foundation Fellowship (1994), two Iowa Arts Council Grants (1997 and 2001), The Tyrone Guthrie Centre Residency (2006), among others.

Art Exhibit: "Rare Earth" by John Preston and Ellen Wagener
<p><u>"Rare Earth": Main Floor Exhibition</u></p><p>This exhibition showcases the idea of a Rare Earth, moments on our planet captured through the lens of two unique artistic voices, depicting the phenomenal beauty of the land with its companions and features— acknowledging it’s scarcity and eventual potential to be non-existent. Midwestern tableaux are discovered through farm, field and water and highlight the beauty in the ‘everyday’ or the moments we’ve possibly overlooked.</p><p>John Preston lives in Fairfield, Iowa, but grew up on the east coast. He has been painting the Midwestern landscape since 1984. Preston's paintings primarily depict the dramatic climate of the Midwest, as well as its expansive skies and rolling fields. They often represent particular locations against a backdrop of weather events from observation, memory and where necessary, imagination. “The move to watercolor reflects a desire to transition from 'finished' paintings to more of a 'complete sketch'”. Preston has exhibited nationally and is in many public and private collections, including Iowa State University, John Deere and the Chicago Federal Reserve.</p><p>Ellen Wagener was born in Maquoketa and grew up in DeWitt, Iowa. Known for her stormy clouds, burning fields, dust storms, and tornadoes moving across prairies and fields, Wagener took a new approach after her move to Arizona in 2001. Her work takes the quintessential Midwestern landscape in series and at large scale, and uses sketches, photographs and her memory to create vivid evocations in pastel of particular weather patterns and times of day. Her work has been shown nationwide and is in the collections of the Cedar Rapids Museum of Art, Iowa State University, the University of Iowa Museum of Art, the Tucson Museum of Art and the Figge Art Museum. <a href="https://www.gildedpeargallery.com/rare-earth">www.gildedpeargallery.com/rare-earth</a></p><p><br></p><p>Concurrently showing: "Connections" by Laura Young: <a href="http://www.gildedpeargallery.com/connections">www.gildedpeargallery.com/connections</a></p>

Eve Drewelowe: Painting Her Way
<p><a name="_Hlk94709282"><strong>Eve Drewelowe: Painting Her Way</strong></a></p><p>May 14 – August 28, 2022</p><p>Eve Drewelowe (1899-1988) was born in New Hampton, Iowa, and became the first person to receive a master of arts degree from the University of Iowa in 1924. She spent most of her adult life in Boulder, Colorado, where she was a passionate and prolific painter. While her subject matter ranged from dynamic mountain landscapes in the 1930s and 1940s to lively abstracts on distinctive round canvases from 1950s through the 1980s, Drewelowe’s vibrant palette and bold use of line created a distinctive style that still resonates today. This exhibition celebrates the dramatic Western landscape and figural paintings Drewelowe created primarily in the first half of her career and to which she returned again toward the end of her life. </p> 2022-03-18 16:00:00 -0500
