About the Item

"Duet", sandblasted mezzotint, 7.5 x 9.5 inches (Framed size: 16 x 17 inches), $300 At first glance, Gerald Purdy (1930 - ) reveals masterful draftsmanship and technical execution. Looking closer, we see a tongue-in-cheek narrative told with charm and wit. In fact, amusement pervades Purdy’s subject matter. “My work is created out of a basic human anxiety that has been formed through personal experience in contemporary society. … Aspiring to freedom, I embrace anarchy through comedic irony and humor.” Originally from the Midwest, Purdy came to Phillips Gallery via a short teaching stint in print-making at the University of Utah during the late ‘60’s-early ‘70’s. His accolades are numerous, including two awards received in 1989 and 1992 from the Borchard Foundation, “An International Conference of Humor in Art,” while he was an Artist in Residence at the foundation in Missillac, France. He now lives near Portland, Oregon. From the Artist: "I chose narrative art from the menu and have never looked back (some people think I can’t look back because I’m already there). My heart is in American art of the 1930’s and 40’s and the sentimentalism of the “Saturday Evening Post”! Time and space have collapsed in art but not in the self of the artist. I happen to think we are still driven by the need to tell stories and to create illusion and order where none exists. My own stories are basically domestic and tend to be ironic. They may not be visually or conceptually whole, because two or three ideas may intrude on the same piece, but they are intended to be “stories” that contain location, exposition, conflict and resolution. They just aren’t the great stories of salvation or war that populate the history of art and take up so much valuable space on museum walls. Finally, irony is one of the great forms of the comedic, which drives me — and comedy is anarchy." - Gerald Purdy

25th Street

Located in Salt Lake City, UT

25th Street, by Elise Zoller, 24 x 30 in. oil on panel. Elise Zoller has recently embarked on a series of plein air paintings of sites around Salt Lake City and in the smaller towns of Utah from Hurricane to Huntsville. She has enjoyed meeting people along the road and learning about the history of the state. “Plein air work can be physically demanding, but there is no substitute for working from life. Light and shadow dance in subtle ways a photograph cannot capture. Even the wind and the fragrances it carries inform the work. Scenes come alive when you stand in one place for a few hours. You’ve got to get to know a spot,” Elise says. “While I work, all manner of people come up and talk to me about their towns and their lives. I’ve met a downwinder from Enterprise, pie bakers in Veyo, pony cart...

San Rafael Reef #2

By Mark Knudsen

Located in Salt Lake City, UT

San Rafael Reef #2, acrylic on panel, 11 x 37 1/2 inches, $2,200 “It is my feeling that the desert country of the American West is too large, too wild, too gorgeous to be encompassed by traditional landscape painting. Our inherited aesthetic defines beauty in landscape as green and arable land or grand, breathtaking places. I feel the need to expand that definition. I want to portray the desert as it is right now; to dispense with the limitations of what has come before, to quietly point out the beauty of places that are harsh and forbidding to habitation but express an aesthetic of the wild. I strive to go beyond the sentimentality that often defines our images of the West. The scale of many of my pieces (an extreme horizontal) is a compositional strategy to capture the vastness of these places.” – M. Knudsen Mark Knudsen...
