Anna Skibska is an innovator in the world of glass, utilizing her signature technique to capture, bend and stretch light through the medium of glass. Bridging the worlds of architecture, line drawing and sculpture, Skibska’s works possess a dynamic play between darkness and light, structural ingenuity, linear fluidity, and expressive freedom. With her unparalleled use of an acetylene torch, Skibska manipulates glass rods into fine intertwining threads, creating translucent ethereal webs in gravity defying forms. @annaskibska #annaskibska #ondisplay #onview #technique #glass #movement #shadows #shadowplay #contemporaryart #fineart #gallery #gallerywall #galleryart #exhibition #annaskibskatechnique #light #shadows #design #designer #manipulation #seeksunvalley #ig_idaho #process

"Order and surprise motivate my work in equal measure. Once I have painted a grid of orderly repeated shapes on synthetic paper, the flow of paint settles according to its intrinsic properties. Each pigment I use has its own way of moving and settling, which is inherent but not predictable. When the paint dries, the paper is layered into a composition. By allowing natural chaos into the work I am continually surprised by the result. The painting becomes a meditative collaboration between me and my materials." – DARA MARK Dara Mark .

"New Mexico artist Dara Mark’s work possesses an ordered, calm beauty that sets it apart. Her patterned, abstract paintings take advantage of the flowing effects produced by her materials…and recall the natural world, which, like her paintings, is a grand mixture of the ordered and the random." — AMERICAN ARTIST WATERCOLOR MAGAZINE Dara Mark .

Wishing the Happiest of Birthdays to the fabulous Chris Richter!!! You are sincerely a joy to work with and we are honored to represent your phenomenal artwork. Richter’s paintings explore the relationship between the natural world of trees, water, and atmosphere and how to express their essence in paint. His color palette and compositions capture the dynamic to subtle details of “time in nature” revealing color and form within a variety of atmospheric moods and conditions. He executes each painting with layer upon layer of paint, which after drying, he works back into, sanding down to previous layers bringing form to color and a vibration effect that can only be achieved through his process.

At the height of this winter season FG is showcasing mesmerizing and intricate, LARGE-SCALE MAZES by American artist Leslie Stoner. Living and working on a remote island in the Pacific Northwest, Stoner balances her studio time between encaustic painting and drawing painstakingly elaborate mazes with an actual “Start”, an “End” and a way through with plenty of blocks, twists and turns. “Working on large birch panels I selectively choose interesting forms in the wood grain and from that create an abstract land or sky scape incorporating a maze,” Stoner says. “I find it easy to lose myself in the process and it’s very meditative for me to spend hours a day in my studio drawing these repetitive, shifting forms. On this scale they may appear as a seemingly impossible journey, much like life, yet each is solvable if you take your time and persevere.” FG welcomes you to experience these impressive works that channel a beautiful and timely message of resolve, patience and trust.

Mia Brownell's stunningly detailed paintings embrace a fusion of traditional still life techniques and scientific models of proteins. "American attitudes towards food as a commodity fascinate me...I'm not into agriculture or gardening, but every supermarket I walk into, wherever in America, I am transported to a unique place without seasons. Walls and pyramids of perfectly lit produce stop time and quote biblical notions of Eden. The whole concept of not having a winter is a little absurd, no matter how amazing it looks. The synthesis of these natural and artificial states creates an ambiguity that I find captivating." –Mia Brownell Detail: Mia Brownell • Still Life with Dew Bubble • oil on canvas • 24" x 30" @miabrownell #miabrownell #stilllife #food #grapes #molecular #fineart #art #oilpainting #oiloncanvas #artist #galleryartist #onview #ondisplay #synthesis #natural #artificial #light #shadow #contemporaryart 
"I’ve often said that when I enter the studio, I do not so much begin with an idea as endeavor to arrive at one. Repetition and the reoccurrence of patterns and thematic elements within a given composition and from piece to piece reference the sensory shorthand I believe we employ to navigate our surroundings and render our experiences onto memory." –David Hytone On View at Friesen Gallery: David Hytone • The Whole of the Half-Light • acrylic, ink, flashe, okawara on panel • 39" x 32" @david_hytone #newrepresentation #friesengallery #gallery #fineart #acrylic #acrylicpaper #paper #collage #abstraction #scenerey #theater #color #joy #seeksunvalley #ig_idaho #newyears2021 #interiordesign #design #architecture #workoftheday #newwork 
Sourcing and inspiration are key for artist @boatyardstudios (R. Nelson Parrish). All the wood seen in Parrish's canon is sourced from significant properties in the artist's life. Hailing from the coast of California, this particular work features wood from the property that Parrish and his wife gave their wedding vows on. Diving deeper, the artist pulls in unique shades of gray with flecks of sparkle found in the bio-resin. The combination of materials in tandem with the artist's medium/process further communicates the balance between the natural world and the synthetic. Swipe right ➡️ R.

We use the word ENERGY in so many forms. We speak of physical energy, emotional energy, creative energy, electrical energy, and many other variations. When speaking in relation to fine art, the energy of a piece can be indicative of how it's received by the viewer. Painter @tomlieber7 explores energy in the human form by expressing his findings through the incredible medium of oil painting. Tom Lieber • Small Blue Drop • oil and gesso on canvas • 48" x 36" 
Similar to a Rorschach test in conceptual thinking and process of one's mind. . . this enticing use of photography and manipulation of negative space not only leaves a visually beautiful end result but a connective thought to the viewer’s first impression upon meeting the artwork. The artist states. . . "My work lives in the realm of the familiar gone astray: it challenges one’s sense of self by rooting around in the cellars of our minds, sparking points of connection, illuminating our curiosity." – Fei Disbrow Fei Disbrow • Vestige 01 • photograph on dibond ; ed. of 3 • 27" x 19" x 2" framed @feidisbrow #feidisbrow #fineart #photography #mainpulation #negativespace #Rorschach #friesengallery #foodforthought #memory #form #figure #design #interiordesign #nature #body #ig_idaho #seeksunvalley #blackandwhite #tgif #artheals

Artist @stevejensen55 weaves a cohesive narrative through his unique works and multiple creative mediums. Symbolic of a voyage, Jensen crafts incredible wood vessels, like the one above, using found wood and boat resin. In this particular case, the sourced wood has been radiocarbon dated to be an astounding 2,300 years old. As we all begin a New Year, a moment of reflection on the journeys of the past will aid to inform the voyage ahead.

An exquisite representation of bright white and the less omnipresent colors of the winter season; @bvphoto captures the essence of snow-white in a modern fashion. This found imagery of torn down street advertisements expands upon the artist's devotion to urban archaeology with great care, providing the viewer with a different interpretation of what is traditionally overlooked or easily missed.
