Press, Publicity, and a New Painting

I have a nice little mention in an article in the Boise Weekly about art collecting.  The article has a shot of one of my pieces too!

 

The Walls of Perception 

Boise lawyers learn the art of collectingby Bill English

Spink and Butler stand before a large oil and alkyd on board by Wyoming artist Matt Flint. The painting, entitled Dust, is their most recent acquisition. It employs abstracted plants and animals to suggest isolation and transformation. It offers a dream-like landscape of the artist's imagination.

"I like the texture and the colors," Spink says. "The techniques Flint uses, like scratching the surface, make it moody. When I look at Matt's work, I wonder what he's thinking about."

Gallery MAR

I am pleased to announce that I am now represented by Gallery MAR. Saturday I drove to Park City, Utah to meet with Maren Bargreen, the owner of Gallery MAR.

I brought 6 new works to the gallery, two of which are below.

The gallery is on Main Street in Park City and has a diverse and exciting roster of artists. I am so fortunate to be able to work with great galleries ran by people who are committed to their artists, art making, and the communities that they serve.

Central College Show, Pella Iowa

In February I traveled to Pella Iowa for a solo show at Central College. It was a nice relaxing time. I got meet with students and give a few talks about my work.

Pella is a quaint Dutch town that has an amazing old style butcher shop and two incredible bakeries. I ate to many dutch pastries and spent quite a bit of time in a coffee shop on town square.

On Monday morning I went to a nature preserve and watched 50 or more bald eagles flying over the river and nesting in huge trees by the water. I had never seen that many eagles together in one place.

I flew into Des Moines on a Saturday night and had most of Sunday to hang out and explore before driving to Pella. It just so happened that the Des Moines art center (which has a surprisingly good collection) had a Grant Wood show up complete with American Gothic. Grant Wood of course had his roots in Iowa. I always knew good things could come from the mid-west. It is always quite an experience to see work in person that you only know through reproductions.
