D’art Gallery is proud to present “Glitch in the System” an exhibition of three gallery members whose art provides departures from the expected. Through reclaimed objects, layered materials, shapes, and colors they each create a distinctive visual language to explore when familiar patterns are interrupted.
Robin Gates
Robin paints whimsy – often edgy, characters, lines, and texture on wood panels, canvas, furniture, instruments, and other 3D objects. Her extraordinary layering is created with paper, paint, pencil, and charcoal. For this show, she is embracing the beauty found in disruption and her delightfully odd “heads” are much in evidence—existing in the space between order and chaos. An embrace of disruptions, indeed. @robinfayegatesarts
Amanda Stavast
Amanda’s journey spans graphic design and mural work but her deepest passion lies in painting. Her abstract, experimental style is characterized by vibrant colors, captivating textures and found objects. She consistently transforms ordinary items into extraordinary expressions of interest and beauty. A show that embraces “glitches” reflects her refusal to be confined to a single artistic style. @amandastavast
Dimitri Valore
Dimitri comes from an artistic family. At Metropolitan State University he abandoned his cosmology major to earn a BFA in painting and spent two decades creating in Boston. A return to Colorado sparked a move from oil painting to discovering the mysteries of mixing ink and water. Dimitri’s early interest in cosmology finds an outlet in this new body of work --abstract interpretations of the unseen quantum fields that constitute the fabric of space. @dmitrivaloreart
