MAIN GALLERY: EXHIBIT RECEPTION- PALIMPSEST: CLARA NULTY
JULY 15-SEPTEMBER 4, 2022
Palimpsest. A palimpsest is a manuscript or piece of writing that has been scrubbed/erased to make space for a new piece, though still bears evidence of the previous life.
Clara Nulty writes that her work “is a meditation on absence and presence”. In the work, she examines what it means to have existed, touched, interfered with a space, landscape, or object. Painting on furniture, wood, paper, and the wall itself, the work is visually layered, alluding to the multiplicity of human perception and processing.
SOUTH GALLERY
Summer Artist in Residence- Jono Wright
The Firehouse Art Center is pleased to announce that Jono Wright is the 2022 Summer Artist in Residence in the Firehouse Artist Occupied Series. This program invites emerging and established artists working in all media to explore their practice while engaging with the community.
Jono Wright is a Colorado painter who creates art that explores ideas about spirituality and the creative process. He believes in discovering the meaning in his work during the creative process rather than illustrating a preconceived idea. Portraying subject matter such as plant life, people and objects, he intertwines Buddhist philosophy, Western psychology and ritual theory, fusing traditional genres of landscape, figure, still life and abstraction into unique contemporary forms.
“In the event of a fire or natural disaster, what would you bring with you if you had to flee your house?” In the wake of the Marshall Fire and the global refugee crisis we are becoming aware of what’s most important to us, the activities and objects that sustain our souls and remind us to live.
We invite you to join Jono and your community members to collaborate on a series of oil paintings that will function as collective altars to that which we hold dear. The paintings will be memento vivere, reminders to live.
