February Exhibiting Artist

The month of April brings showers, but it also brings new artists. This month we are pleased to present two local artists, James Shuman and Ben Howell.

James Shuman uses oil, acrylic and metallic paints to create large vibrant works that give insight into his life. His work expresses both a visual spontaneity and a methodical process. The subject contains a great deal of mystery and is meant to take you on a journey that isn't revealed. James has been inspired by many modern artists including Wassily Kandinsky, Jackson Pollack and Robert Brown.

Benjamin Howell is a multi-disiplinary artist currently studying Sculpture at the University of Utah and will Graduate this spring with a B.F.A. His current body of work is rooted in the amalgamation of fresh reactions to traditional techniques and practices in screen printing and drawing. From the levels of consciousness to the overlapping concurrence of techniques, layers and process are the evolving themes in this body of work. The screen prints in this series all begin with an initial image and hundreds of subsequent responses to this initial phase are planted, pressed and rooted out again, creating layers of voice and response.

In addition to these two artists, we still have work on display by Randall Smith, Paul Heath, and others. Please visit our artist page for more information.
