Santa Fe and Springville

Well, the last month has been crazy at The Bridge.  First we took a trip down to Sante Fe, NM.   The cost was $100 for everything but food.   We hit all the galleries on Canyon Rd and a bunch downtown.  At the Gerald Peters Gallery we were treated to a back stage peak of their inventory of over 30,000 original pieces!  Between galleries Sean would talk to us about what we liked or disliked about particular staff or space and the work being represented.  After dinner, we’d go back to the rooms or out to one of Santa Fe’s many quiet spots to chat about whatever.   We all learned a little more about each other, the business of art and art itself.   All for $200 if you were careful with your money.
Thanks to all those who came and made it possible.

The Springville MOA show was cool.  Imagine you’re going to art school right?  Going and drawing with a bunch of other artists four days a week.   You’ll  see a lot of good stuff in a year.   Well,  now cram a bunch of that good stuff into one big room.   Except, not just any big room,  put it in one of Utah’s premier art venues.   Yeah that about sums it up.  A reflection of landmarks as we wrap up The Bridge’s first year.  Special thanks to Springville Museum of Art.

Stocks’ work has been shown and collected in galleries throughout the West and Southwest. He’s won numerous awards and competitions. And even though his creativity has found its strongest force in his artwork, he likens the process to music. “Mywork is an effort to create images that serve as emotional detours from the noise and confusion of the surrounding world. I find the process of painting to be similar to that of writing a song. There is a basic structure or rhythm to the work. The melody comes into play in the form of color, brushwork and the expressive possibilities of process.”
