He developed a special love for the beauty and grace of human and animal figures and applied himself to courses that taught anatomy and form. His deep interest in the relationship of man to animals particularly the horse and his great sense of dynamics, are at once apparent in such pieces as his "Apache Raiders," "The Pick-Up Man," and "Calvalry Colors." Committed to integrity of detail, Robbins spends fully as much time studying anatomy as he does wielding a sculptor's tool. The photography of Sandria Miller, also a native Utahn, will be featured in the Kimball Art Center Lower Gallery. Unlike traditional hand-tinted photographs, photo-graphs, Sandria's avant garde style has a fantasy look and feel. All four artists will be present for the opening reception Sunday, Jan. 6, from 3 to 5 p.m. The reception is free and the public is welcome. Gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Saturday, and noon to fi p.m. on Sundays. The show is being sponsored by the Park Meadows Country Club. : i I W Dawna Barton and Brooke Morrison ! to exhibit at Kimball Art Center " Native Utahns Dawna Barton and daughter Brooke Morrison, both professional artists, will be featured at Kimball Art Center's Main Gallery Jan. 6 through Jan. 31. Dawna Barton is well known for her watercolors of flowers, landscapes, historical buildings, and other aspects of the natural environment. She is familiar to local residents as the artist of a Park City scene which appeared on the cover of the Winter, 1983 edition of Lodestar magazine. She has, over the past few -" years, been doing a series of paintings dealing with such nostalgic subjects as antique rocking horses, old fashioned dolls and animal characters from the world of folklore and fairy tales. Barton's paintings are drawn from very real sources and also from the subtle images we all carry in our minds of a time long ago and far away the special, magical time of life-our childhood. child-hood. The soft shapes and gestures, the specific details in clothing, texture and color evoke a tender response in just about everyone. These delightful prints are for children of all ages. Brooke Morrison graduated from the University of Utah with a degree in Fine Arts. After a diverse and comprehensive train ing in art, she chose to specialize in printmaking. Her current focus is with silkscreen, etching,, and embossing techniques. Here she combines the skills of the artist, craftsman, and chemist, using methods which have changed very little since the first etchings. Brooke hand tints each etching, uniquely setting it apart from the typical print. It is because of the versatility and capacity for pure expression that she finds these mediums particularly exciting. She is continually conscious of the use of pattern in her work. "Everything is either a negative neg-ative or a positive form. Pattern is , not a boring repetition, it is rhythms and intervals; it is staggering the tensions. That's what makes art exciting." Unable to keep up with the demand for her art, Brooke works long hours in her studio home where she is also a wife and the mother of two sons. Her work has received numerous awards and acclaim, and is currently on display in galleries throughout the United States. The Kimball Art Center Main Gallery will also feature Clayton Robbins', a Utah sculptor. Since early childhood, Clayton Robbins has been involved in some form of art. He studied drawing and painting in Salt Lake City schools Local residents will find familiar scenes and themes in the Dawna Barton exhibit at the Kimball Art Center. |
