DENVER, COLORADO - 5/19/10 -

The exhibition of Small Works includes artwork in a variety of mediums including painting, printmaking, mixed media, and sculpture. All six artists exemplify a high quality of artistic technique in small forms, with no work larger than 20 inches. Work by CSU professors James Dormer & Paul Flippen will be on view. Dormer is a member of the Boston Printmakers and recently had a piece acquired into the permanent collection of the Center for Contemporary Printmaking in Norwalk, CT. Stanley Scott is a recent graduate from the CSU Masters in Fine Arts program and studied under Dormer. One of the sculptors whose work will be on display, Donna Malpiede McNulty recently began showing at Translations Gallery and is recognized for her dynamic, intricately-woven copper sculptures. Another sculptor, Ruth Borgencht, is recognized for her movable ceramic sculptures that are based on chain mail. Borgenicht has work in the permanent collection of the Philadelphia Museum of Art among other museums. The exhibition of Small Works will include all types of artwork for a broad audience.

The side gallery will display Bruce Marion's landscapes. Marion's work was on view in November of 2009, and was such a success that the gallery decided to show more of his amazing landscapes. There will be three new pieces on display along with several others. The appease of Marion's work comes from his recognition of the spiritual nature of the Colorado landscape.
