The exhibit will run through Nov. 4. Continued from C-1 Exhibit profiles portraits on Friday during the Park City Gallery Association’s monthly Gallery Stroll. The event is free and open to the public, and many of the artists will be in attendance. (See accompanying story for the list of artists). The exhibit will feature works by Utah artists from Summit County to as far away as Logan and Ephraim, according to Stoaks. “There are some established artists as well as emerging artists in the show,” she said. “I’m excited to see how their works interact with each other. “Many of the artists I have known about for quite a while and reached out to see what they were currently working on to see how any of the pieces could come together to form an interesting conversation around portraits.” Stoaks selected 60 works that use different mediums like paint, photographs, clay and print. The text-based prints, according to Stoaks, features writing of some kind within the art. One print artist featured in the exhibit is Clinton Whiting, who used real journal entries for his work. “He wrote what he was feeling every day onto a panel and then painted over them to form a portrait,” Stoaks said. The curator has wanted to a show focused on figurative work for a few years, and portraits seemed to be the way to do so. “Portraiture, which is typically based on bodies and on experience, is something that we can immediately relate to and see ourselves in, and we all take selfies,” she said. “(They) are incredibly powerful, and they reflect the society we live in, and also provide a mirror for us to consider our own selves.” One text-based artist is Emily Dyer Barker, who solicited people to contribute their own stories for a five-poster work. “The stories are composed of beautiful descriptions of someone, and each poster features a QR code,” Stoaks explained. “When viewers scan the code with their phones, tablets or other hand-held electronic devices, more information is unlocked.” Dyer Barker was inspired to create her portraits in 2011, when during a spring drive along the Great Salt Lake she saw the words “I Miss Everything About You” spray painted on a retaining wall. “A few months later the city replaced that section of the wall, but I have not been able to forget the vulnerability of the five-word publication, offered on • Adrianna Allegretti • Emily Dyer Barker • Lynn Blodgett • Trent Call • Lee Cowan • Downy Doxey-Marshall • Mark Elliot • Dennise Gackstetter • Megan Knobloch Geilman • Bailey Genevieve Hatcher • Tom Hoffman • Amy Jorgensen • Clayton Keyes • Natalie Kirk • V.

I’m very excited to see this exhibit come to fruition.” Stoaks would like viewers to walk away from the exhibit with a new perception of portrait work. “My hope is that you’ll find a handful of pieces that truly speak to you and make you think about your own self in a new way,” she said. “I wanna be seen in a hundred years As you see me know, so don’t hesitate Make my portrait made So paint me now…” Alt-J 10:14 AM WE SAID WE WOULD CHANGE THE WORLD… WE DID.
