Duun your srifiniriiao fjcuuvs iiuw Pastels and sculpture reflect the influence of the Southwest Ming Lowe's contemporary contem-porary pastels and Gary Slater's metal sculpture will be exhibited at the Kimball Art Center's Main Gallery Dec. 12 through Jan. 6. Lowe, in a recent interview, inter-view, said, "I consider my career as parallel to that of a musician. A musician puts an album together and takes it on the road. I try to keep my work out of the closet and put it in the public eye." The artist's paintings are done in series with specific themes such as "Entertainment" and "Romance." California art critics have labeled her work as vibrant, electric and frenetic. Lowe said she is only reflecting the energy and attitudes of her generation. Lowe is the granddaughter of Salt Lake businessman Fred A. Carleson. She attended atten-ded Salt Lake City's Rowland Hall for high school and part of her grammar school education. She describes herself as "self-taught," but she has studied at La Jolla Art Center, Cen-ter, Palm Desert's College of the Desert and University of Southern California, Isomata. She also worked under Franciose Gilot as a scholarship student. Lowe has had one-woman shows at Palm Desert's Kolenich & Lucas Gallery, Palm Desert's College of the Desert and Palm Springs' Security Pacific National Bank. She has also exhibited at Palm Springs' Umberto DePoliolo Gallery and the Palm Springs Desert Museum. Her works appear in the private collections of a number of entertainers including in-cluding Paul Butterfield, Eric Burdon, Grateful Dead's Mickey Hart, Kingston Trio's Nick Reynolds and Big Brother and the Holding Company's James Curley. While desert-based Ming Lowe reflects the Southern California scene, Gary Slater seeks the open Arizona desert to complement com-plement his sculpture. Slater has said, "I like the T At Jit ' 4 S f & i 9 , UjtBHzrr"-, t ' " - ( , , j! I . ' ' Ik.' Pastel by Ming Lowe freedom and openess of the landscape and I like to see things take form. I've always be interested in building and if I wasn't building sculpture, I would probably be constructing something else. I like the challenge." A native Minnesotan, Slater moved to Arizona in 1971 where he earned his Master of Fine Arts from Arizona State University. His outdoor metal sculptures sculp-tures can be seen in Phoenix at Memorial Hospital, Missouri Medical Plaza and Baptist Hospital. He also has a piece at the Scottsdale Civic Center for the Arts. His work has appeared in over 20 group shows, including the Palo Alto, California exhibit where his entry won the purchase pur-chase award. He has exhibited at Scottsdale's Elaine Horwitch Gallery, Santa Fe's Shidoni Sculpture Gallery and Chicago's Ruth Friedman Gallery. Slater's sculpture is also in the Weissman Collection. Both artists will be at the Kimball Art Center's opening reception Sunday, Dec. 11 from 3 to 5 p.m. Winter Win-ter De La Mare is sponsoring the exhibit.
