November, what a magnificent time to be in Moab, leaves are turning bright shades of red and yellow, the air has moved from hot to cool and all the sweaters came come out of storage. Visual Feast Gallery celebrates this change with a change of the featured artist, Frida Kahlo pays a visit and all of the artists a preparing for the “Bizzare Christmas” show by creating miniature creations that patrons can purchase for loved ones, gift wrapped and all. Deana Floyd is the newest member of Visual Feast Gallery, bringing exquisite line work that makes my eyes cross with amazement.
Novembers Art Walk will feature the art by local artist Luke Howarth who’s specialty is “Pollock” inspired multi colored panels in a variety of sizes. Howarth’s biography sums up his passion for what he does, “Where I’m from is as irrelevant as where you are from. We are here for the art, not story time. It is the Art that compels us. Drives us. That raises us up to a higher plane. Takes us to where we want to be, not where we are or have been. Tomorrow comes today. The history books will not sing our praises. All we can hope for is to be remembered fondly by the ones whom we have loved, so honor those you love with the very life you lead. Your life is yours. Rise up and live it.” In addition to Howarth Visual Feast has the honor of housing the “controversial” prints from the Frida Kahlo exhibit in town to bring awareness to The Multi Cultural Center and of course Mexican art.

ARS GRATIA ARTIS
Be Inspired.
Take a chance.
Pull shapes from the mist.
Make a dream come true.
Visit a secret city.
Write a poem that doesn’t rhyme.
Paint, but never by the numbers.
Find chaos and distill a perfection.
Make reality ethereal.
Remember the best.
And the worst.
Use it.
Because to create is divine…
-Luke Howarth |
The Bighorn Gallery at Dead Horse Point State Park is exhibiting images by Moab photographer Tom Till.
‘Breathtaking-The Vistas of Dead Horse Point and the Moab Area’ is a collection of images currently on display.
Recognized as one of America’s most published photographers, almost 200,000 of Tom Till’s images have appeared in print since 1977. Originally known for his large format camera, he now uses a 35 mm Canon digital camera. His images are featured in numerous magazines and conservation publications, and he is the sole photographer for over 30 books. He has earned several awards for his photography.
Till has traveled across the United States and to nearly sixty countries worldwide photographing landscape, nature, history and travel subjects. Till considers Dead Horse Point up there with the world’s wonders, having visited most of them on his travels. He has visited the park more than 150 times, capturing images in rain, snow and sun. Till feels lucky to spend his life photographing the world’s most beautiful places. He is most excited to share his experiences through photography with the ‘things everyone else passes by.’ Till is a longtime resident of Moab and opened the Tom Till Gallery downtown in 1998.
