As a continuation of Robischon Gallery’s themed “Material Abstraction” exhibition of 2012, the gallery is pleased to present “Materialized,” solo and group exhibitions by nine distinctive gallery artists who come together to offer a dynamic immersion into abstraction. Jae Ko, Lisa Stefanelli and Linda Fleming’s solo exhibitions coalesce with featured artists, Judy Pfaff, Derrick Velasquez, Mary Ehrin, Kate Petley, Jaq Chartier and Andrew Millner. Each artist furthers their innovative form and impactful color explorations with dimensional or graphic abstraction through a range of media and approach. Utilizing materials both unorthodox and traditionally-based in the modern, each artist’s work is intuitively and intellectually driven, crossing the lines within abstraction between the organic and the formal. The Denver Art Museum’s current like-minded “Material World” exhibition, on view through September 22nd, also includes the work of two of Robischon Gallery’s “Materialized” artists: pre-eminent American artist Judy Pfaff and celebrated Colorado artist Mary Ehrin.
Robischon Gallery, located in Denver, Colorado, has been producing monthly exhibitions of regional, national and international artists since 1976. Embracing the current pluralism in art, the gallery’s exhibitions and the artists represented purposefully address a wide range of stylistic and contextual concerns. Ongoing dialogues in the art world, such as the rise and impact of Chinese and Middle Eastern contemporary art, can often be found in the gallery’s thoughtful exhibition program. Similarly, Robischon Gallery represents and exhibits a range of revered and ground-breaking artists such as Robert Motherwell, Christo and Jeanne Claude, Robert Rauschenberg, Manuel Neri, Richard Serra, Judy Pfaff, Bernar Venet, Ann Hamilton, Jessica Stockholder, Zhang Xiaogang and Li Wei, along with influential mid-career artists and those new to the professional level.
Robischon Gallery consistently features work by artists of integrity with vision and compelling ideas, while acknowledging the historical precedence of their idiom.
