The showcased art is created by longtime J GO artist Jay Kelly, and a new artist Will Armstrong, Grenny said. Kelly, who Grenny has represented for 18 years, creates collage art. “He’ll take thousands of bits of vintage paper to create a work that is covered with resin,” she said. “For this show, he has created some vintage skiers, which is relevant to the local population here.” Kelly creates his backgrounds from vintage ski magazines that date back to the 1930. “You might see ads or words that refer to Park City or skiing in Utah within the images,” Grenny said. “It’s fun to see the equipment advertisements, ski forms and texts that paint a picture of skiing through the ages.” Armstrong, who is a radio host in Richmond, Virginia, also makes collages, and is what Grenny calls a visual storyteller. “His themes are mostly about music -- where it comes from and where it takes listeners to,” she said. “The backgrounds are comprised of maps and sheet music, and he will draw on top of them with an oil pen to create stories that were inspired by lyrics.” J GO Gallery grand opening When: 6-9 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 28 Where: The Rockwell Room, 268 Main St. Phone: 435-649-1006 Web: Jgogallery.com Some of the images mix music history timelines. “In one of his works called ‘Scratching Circles,’ the musicians look like they could be from the Duke Ellington era, and the person at the bar looks like he could be a modern-day hipster,” Grenny said. “Then on the wall you will see Johnny Cash and Farrah Fawcett posters. So the viewer can make up their own narrative of what’s going on.” Grenny looks forward to sharing the art in the new J GO space with her clients. “I have about 3,000 square feet that I can work with,” she said. “Because the space is so big and has high ceilings, I can show more bigger formatted pieces. I’ll also have a catalog of smaller works that people can browse through.” Grenny began discussing the new gallery model with Thompson this past summer. “I talked with Scott and initially thought about doing this in COURTESY OF J GO GALLERY Will Armstrong’s multi-media work “Scratching Circles” creates its own story with vintage-styled musicians and contemporary images addition to my gallery,” she said. “But after seeing how big the space was and that my lease in the other space was ending, I decided to go into a different direction. This, to me, is a more vibrant art gallery model.” J GO Gallery artists • Will Armstrong • Elaine Coombs • Michael Dickter • Denise Duong • Jay Kelly • Curtis Olson • Siddharth Parasnis • Heather Patterson • Cordell Taylor • Rose Umerlik • Carole Wade Charles Callis “Saraghina” 40” x 50” | Oil on canvas ANNE KAFERLE | CHARLES CALLIS Friday, December 28th | 6-9pm Anne Kaferle “Clover” 40” x 40” | Oil on panel 804 Main Street | Park City 435.655.3803 | troveparkcity.com |
