Show I Still-life painting to be focus of new Kimball Art Center exhibit The Newspaper Thursday, April 1, 1982 Page B9 Paintings by two former Utahns, Alice Hendrickson and John Taye, will be included in a three-person exhibit scheduled to open in the Kimball Art Center's main gallery Sunday, April 4. The third artist, William Wilson, is currently teaching at State University of New York at Albany. All three artists deal primarily with still lifes. Hendrickson, now a resident resi-dent of New York City, received her MFA degree from Utah State University. Her work has been shown extensively in the Utah area since 1976. She has had one-person shows at Logan's AVA Gallery and the Salt Lake Art Center's Collectors Gallery. In 1977, she was the recipient of two best of show awards, one at the Salt Lake Art Center Auerback Landscape Land-scape Show, the other at the St. Marks Cathedral Annual Show. In discussing her work to be shown at the Kimball Art Center, she said, "These paintings are a study of the interrelationship of form and space. The direction and form of the subject are first established to project the essence of that particular subject. The value and color are then built to convey the spiritual quality of the relationship rela-tionship between the form and the whole." Taye, currently an assistant assis-tant professor of art at Boise State University, received his BFA in painting and drawing from the University of Utah in 1969. In 1972, he received his MFA from Otis Art Institute, Los Angeles, with a painting major and drawing minor. In addition to teaching at Hollywood Art Center School, the University Univer-sity of Utah and Boise State, he worked for two years at CBS Television as a scenic artist. He has also participated partici-pated in the Artist in the Schools program in Utah. "I am basically a realist painter, Taye says. "I occasionally occa-sionally do semi-abstract work, but for the most part I enjoy responding to the physical world in a representational represen-tational manner. The human figure and the - landscape interest me, but it is with still life painting that I have done the most work. There is a very personal and intimate aspect of still life painting which appeals to me. I can concentrate more on the formal problems of painting '' I f ' It ' ' Miss Park City Legs Contest at Potato John's M I f Thursday, April 8th 8:00 Pitchers $2.50 Set-ups and beer .50 First Prize $100 Second Prize $50 Third Prize $25 All applicants call 649-5W0.

There are fewer distractions." Wilson, a professor at Albany since 1959, completed his MFA in painting from Cranbrook Academy of Art, Bloomfield Hills, Michigan that same year. He earned his BA from William and Mary, Williamsburg, Virginia, Vir-ginia, in 1952, and has studied with George Grosz and Reginald Marsh. Since 1959, he has had 20 one-person one-person exhibits, including his most recent at the State University of New York earlier this year. His work is included in the collection of Malcolm Forbes. The Park City exhibit represents the first time Wilson has shown in the Utah area. "The objects in this series, all nature forms, I've collected col-lected casually over the years," the artist says. "Somehow they evoke a special meaning for me, and by their particular arrangement, arrange-ment, I've tried to evoke a meaning extending beyond their individual forms. The arrangements suggest ritual, ritu-al, magic, motive use of some unknown culture. The individual qualities of each object are improtant to me, but their relationship with each other is more so. In fact, what they are together is what these drawing are about," .:. There will be an opening reception April 4 from 3 to 5 p.m. John Taye will be present. The exhibit will be on display through April 29. This exhibit is being sponsored spon-sored by Harry Reed of Skyline Land Company.
