But they only reveal just enough, allowing plenty of room for the viewers to find their own interpretation or story.вЂќ The artwork is only complete when a balance has been achieved creating a meditative environment for the viewer.ДЄrtist Karen Scharer recently moved вЂdownhillвЂ™ from her previous home at 7500 feet of elevation outside Rocky Mountain National Park. Her forms вЂњnearly touching, other times precariously balancing on one another and, on occasion, mergingвЂ¦ The shapes seem anthropomorphic at times, reflecting that constant desire for balance. Colours, textures and shapes are meticulously selected to be arranged and rearranged, assembled and reassembled, in a quest for the right balance.вЂќ This creative process is slow and deliberate, paying special attention to placement and energy. Karine LГ©ger begins her process by deconstructing compositions вЂњin order to lay the foundations for an introspective reconstruction. Using various materials, shapes and colors, these artistsВ create a wonderland of visual bliss and dreamlike contemplation. Space Gallery is pleased to present a group exhibition with new work by Karine LГ©ger, Karen Scharer and Jeff Glode Wise.

Showing: November 15th 2018 - January 5th 2019.

These variations might make his images appear more real as time, half remembered memories, and prior experiences affect your perception. He often paints facial features slightly out of alignment or paints vaguely different expressions for each side of the face. To this Stoehr adds touches and hints of realism.

Both artists work freely dripping, brushing and pouring paint. While Sanders mingles figure with background, Stoehr isolates his figures for the viewer to subjectively respond to. He explores intolerance, discrimination, addiction, violence and war with its victims, witnesses and survivors. The essence of his art is the exploration of fundamental issues of our time. StoehrвЂ™s artwork also focuses on the human condition. Challenging the static historical portrayal of the female figure, Sanders also explores themes of fertility and dissolution, both visually and metaphorically as her figures simultaneously dissolve and take shape. To her, вЂњmorphogenesis refers to the innate desire for entity and environment to become one,вЂќ which can be seen in the swirling and twisting of her paint brush.

Sanders highlights the struggle separating the self and contemporary culture. Blurring the lines between realism and abstraction, both artists rely on the viewerвЂ™s subjective participation to deepen the reality beyond the mere image. Space Gallery is pleased to present our annual figurative exhibition featuring the work of emerging artist Julia Sanders and internationally recognized artist William Stoehr.

Showing: January 10th 2019 - February 16th 2019.

In 2021 we published 12 new print projects, mostly series of monotypes/monoprints by our established artists as well as three brand new artists (to us!). Most of 2020, after the lock-down, was devoted to owner and founder, Sue OehmeвЂ™s, own prints and very large scale installations, which were exhibited at SPACE Gallery in April- July, 2021. At Oehme Graphics, the first 6 months of the pandemic nearly shuttered us, but then, as we pivoted, things started to look up. OPENING RECEPTION FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 4TH, 2022 | 6PMвЂ“9PM Recent Fine Prints from Oehme Graphics The past two years have been nothing short of life-changing, in both good and bad ways.
