Evelyne Boren Book Signing
Saturday, Aug 8 from 11:30 am - 2:30 pm

Charming European landscapes and cool Denver cityscapes will be shown together at the Evelyne Boren and Robert Spooner highly anticipated exhibition. The pieces compliment and contrast one another with Spooners’ aggressive vertical brush strokes and Boren’s colorful and dynamic landscapes.

Spooner uses directing lines and patterns to highlight the textures of his shadows. From still lifes to cityscapes, Spooner has a dramatic affect on all his subject matter. His romantic color palette of Lavender and Lilacs has shades of violet and canary yellow to soften anyone’s taste and the nude portrait of Laelia leads us into a sheltering jungle of vibrant greens.

Boren’s subject matter confirms her international taste for plein air painting. Inviting roads lead us down paths that vanish into beautiful, colorful countryside’s in Europe, New Mexico and Guatemala. Its hard not to feel content when viewing any of her pieces full of light and serenity.

Contrasting their work, Boren uses thick layers while Spooner uses complex layering; however both use striking colors. Come, observe and enjoy the mood-altering exhibition of paintings by Evelyne Boren and Robert Spooner.

Trompe L'Oeil - The Ivanov's Show
Sep 18 - Oct 11, 2009
Opening reception: Sep 18 from 5-9pm

Participating artists:
Aleksey and Olga Ivanov

The Ivanov duo has delivered a show full of illusion and irony. Expressive subjects of playful figures dominate the wooden canvases layered with the traditional Russian Orthodox iconography medium of egg tempera. The work has roots in a renaissance style with a color palette comparable to that of Fra Angelico and Fillipo Lippi, however contradicts the context classical iconography by using contemporary ‘pop’ icons. Where else can you see a masked, Pinocchio framed by a shredded VISA credit card and domino? (Theatre and Life) The Trompe'L'Oeil show captures the depth of youthful imagination and interpretation. Do you appreciate the art or the icon?

Form and Figure
Oct 16 - Nov 8, 2009
Opening reception: Oct 16 from 5-9pm

Participating artists:
Deborah Bays, Dan Beck, Ernie Gallegos, Ramon Kelley, Robert Spooner, Zhaoming Wu

Abend Gallery’s upcoming show will exhibit a collection of works ranging from Dan Beck’s poised nudes to Zhaoming Wu’s scenic backdrops. Together, artists Deborah Bays, Ernie Gallegos, Ramon Kelley, Dan Beck and Zhaoming Wu bring us a show full of blended figures, still lifes, and landscapes to captivate the beauty and form in each subject. Deep shadows, sharp reflections, and complex textures make this mixed medium show one of our most highlighted events for the fall. Stylistically the works distinguish themselves as being individually strong, but when seen all together, each piece completes the flow of energy brought forward in the Form and Figure show.

Four Person Show
Nov 13 – Nov 29, 2009
Opening reception: Nov 13 from 5-9pm

This November some of Abend’s most prized artists come together for a show bringing diverse subjects and complex styles. From pastels to oil glazes this show is a compilation of mixed medias and narratives.

Bruce Gómez brings his Colorado landscapes and Parisian cultural scenes to life with vivacious colors and Pam Ingalls captures the depth of her experiences in small international communities though her portraiture. Tammi Otis creates her work from a more whimsical approach stemming from an “inner world.” Her subject matter comes from emotion; challenging the fears and desires of the mind. Raj Chauduri uses a more practical method of painting finding inspiration in landscapes and cityscapes. His pieces are created to connect viewers through the composition of his works. All together this show brings new perspectives and dynamics to each of the participating artists’ works.
