On June 24, Arts Brookfield introduces Earth Matters at Republic Plaza, an exhibit of artwork by 11 Colorado artists that conveys the beauty and natural artistry of the earth. The opening reception will take place on from 5:30 to 8 p.m. June 25 at Republic Plaza (370 17th St.).
The artists who will be exhibiting in the show are: Katie Martineau Caron, Jim Colbert, Adrienne DeLoe, Joellyn Duesberry, Buff Elting, Gifford Ewing, Chuck Forsman, Tyler Wayne McCall, Ralph Nagel, Chandler Romeo and David Sharpe.
“Large-scale paintings, photographs and works on paper are juxtaposed with small-scale sculptures in clay and installation works,” said curator Andra Archer, describing the variety included in the show.
Archer described the exhibit’s theme by saying, “There’s something about the solidity of the earth — the density, matter, rock and soil — that grounds us. A vision arises out of that — the undulation of landscape, the flow of water, vast flora and fauna, and the light of sun and moon. This is the matter of the earth that captivates and inspires us. It is the earth that matters.”
Debra Simon, vice president and artistic director, Arts Brookfield said, “The collective of artists exhibiting in Earth Matters is a treasure, bringing together some of the best artistic talent in Colorado. Earth Matters offers Denver art lovers a chance to experience beautiful depictions of nature in one of Brookfield’s beautifully designed public spaces.”
The show runs from June 24 through Aug. 19 and is open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Mondays through Fridays and from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. and Saturdays. The exhibit and reception are open to the public and free to attend. For more information, visit www.artsbrookfield.com/event/earth-matters/.
