Critic’s Picks: Denver
As their first featured exhibit of the summer, William Havu Gallery is presenting “Articulated Perspectives,” a thematic group show bringing together the efforts of a quartet of artists, all of whom work with representational imagery in some way, and all of whom infuse their pieces with some kind of conceptual or narrative content. For Laura Truitt, the nominal subject of her paintings is architecture; however, she does not render buildings straightforwardly, instead combining a hyperrealist approach to drafting, that she then veils in abstract flourishes of paint. Lori Buntin, on the other hand, does convey urban scenes with photographic accuracy but she plays with the palettes so that the color schemes subtly shift as they pass through different parts of the paintings; however, the transitions between the hues are anything but subtle, since they are starkly separated by hard-edged vertical divisions. The scenes themselves also shift ever-so-slightly, as they cross these divisions. Sculptor Marc Berghaus takes a different approach to representation-he uses recognizable objects to create his contraptions, including mechanized fish and mechanized figures-some of which emit sounds. While the works of Truitt, Buntin and Berghaus fill the main level, on the mezzanine there are expressionist paintings by Sara Sanderson that convey the fury of the Colorado floods of 2013, through thick smears of paint used to create forms evocative of rushing water. “Articulated Perspectives” at the William Havu Gallery runs through July 26.

Best Abstract Trio – 2013
Amy Metier, Michael Clapper and Emilio Lobato

William Havu brought together three of the state’s top abstract artists last spring. The main event was Amy Metier. Metier begins with an actual subject, and then, using her expressive brushwork, turns it into an abstract composition; though more representational than usual for her, these paintings were still very much a part of her classic style. Meanwhile, the floors at Havu were filled with small, simple sculptures based on organic shapes by Michael Clapper. One of Clapper’s greatest strengths is the way he combines different materials. Finishing off the trio were Emilio Lobato’s recent wall relief sculptures made of found materials.

We are pleased to announce the Denver Art Museum has once again revealed William Havu Gallery artist Rick Dula‘s 18 x 32 foot mural A moment in Time: Here.

A Moment in Time: Here
February 10, 2013 – April 14, 2013 | Hamilton Building – Level 2 | Included in general admission

Denver-based painter Rick Dula, who photographed the Hamilton Building throughout its construction, created hyper-realist painting A Moment in Time: Here, in 2009. It appears to peel back the interior walls of the building to expose its steel girders and underpinnings, and reveals the angular skeleton of the structure, which opened in 2006. Popular with museum members and volunteers, the artwork originally was on view in 2009 and 2010 in the exhibition Embrace!
