Although we may not notice, art is placed in nearly every environment we encounter. At Friesen Gallery, our gaze extends beyond the residential and embraces the creative challenge of elevating a commercial space. Seen here is a Virtual Installation, using internationally renowned painter Tom Lieber's energetic artwork. It can be as simple as one creative highlight that brings a whole room together.

Informed by her experience as a child under the great big skies of Montana, artist Leslie Stoner creates abstract sky and landscapes using an elevated version of Maze Doodles. Each Maze has a precise start and end point, and much like life, a seemingly impossible journey in between. Yet, each journey is solvable if you take your time and persevere.

At Friesen Gallery we have spent the last few months becoming more adept with the digital tools 2020 provides. Just as art inspires, so do interior spaces. For example, this stunning interior space can be seen three ways with each iteration displaying, through the process of digital installation, just how powerfully a work of art can enhance and change a room. Let us excite your home space without the hassle of 'on approval' logistics, so we can give you a true sense of size, color palette, and energy. i n o r d e r > s w i p e r i g h t Lloyd Martin Figure oil on canvas 60" x 60" Lawrence Fodor MS Study II / Visitation (after Pontormo) oil, alkyd resin and linseed oil on canvas 60" x 60" Barbara Vaughn Oneira archival pigment; ed. of five 56" x 46" framed @lloyd_.martin @lawrencefodor @bvphoto #lloydmartin #lawrencefodor #barbaravaughn #digitalinstallation #virtualinstallation #art #interior #interiordesign #design #designer #contemporary #abstract #photgraphy #painting #oilpainting #geometry #architechure #mythology #arthistory #friesengallery #gallery #galleryartist #artsy #fineart #colortheory #seeksunvalley #ig_idao #onview

Getting lost in the complex hues of Mark Rediske's oil works is easy to do. The artist draws his inspiration from the idea that nature has both a physical and spiritual existence. Summertime gifts us with bright, early mornings that carry into the warm skies of an elongated evening, bringing a nostalgia and a comfort we all know so well. . . Art is all around us and within us.

A simple Monday reminder that beautiful greys are rendered when we can sit in the inbetweens of the blacks and whites of our lives. @mark.dara Elegy #13 - Butterfly uses a multi-step process of applying watercolors to multiple layers of paper, then manipulating the pigments using the fluid movement of Chi-gong, and finally sewing the elements together ever so precisely to create a sum that is so much more than its parts.

Interconnectedness (n.) - the state of being connected with each other. . . Visual art of any kind asks the viewer to address what ever thought comes to mind upon first glance. Much like the mindfulness practice of meditation, we can't control our first impressions, emotional responses, or thought patterns; we're asked to accept them. The depth in @danalynnlouis dyed fiber work is something to marvel over. From afar, ethereal shapes form in the mind's eye but upon closer observation, one can see the intricacy in her woven work. Every thread has its place and every paint stroke a purpose. In these days of living in a reality that none of us could have predicted, the idea that we are all connected can bring comfort. Art is meant to be seen and shared in times of such uncertainty and change. Swipe --> for the beauty in this work's detail. On View Now at Friesen Gallery . . .

Rachel Brumer's work in fiber began as a vehicle to commemorate a friend lost to AIDs, the medium and process serving as a way to involve loved ones of the departed. Her newest work looks at the subtle beauties between the human mind, humanity, and nature. "Most landscapes refer to particular geographic locations – my landscapes do not. Rather, they are fragments of nature and human existence, recomposed as scenes that reveal the layers of association that mind and memory build...I began this body of work a few years ago when I moved to a 14-mile long island in the Pacific Northwest. There, I see the edge of the earth every day." –@erbrumer Tree Carries Geography walnut ink, silk paint, Vandyke print, on textile, acrylic on canvas, waxed, mounted on panel 56.5" x 35" 2020 #earth #sky #magic #mountains #trees #contemporaryart #onlineart #artsy #show #curated #gallery #artist #galleryartist #instaart #ArtCanHelp #artofvisuals #seeksunvalley #ig_idaho #sunvalleysummer #summer #nature #humanity #color #design #designer

Some say it's the majestic whites of winter that keep them returning to Sun Valley... and some say it's the vibrant hues of a Sun Valley summer that casts the spell. Sculptor David Kimball Anderson captures that very magic in his beautiful bronze and steel work evoking the beauty of an Idaho summer. On view now at Friesen Gallery . . .

"In my image-based work, I find literal images and forms, to alter and adapt into organic and lyrical shapes. Involved in that manipulation is the deliberate use of the void and establishment of negative space." – @feidisbrow Join us in August for a Vignette Exhibition of Fei Disborw's most recent work!

Art is powerful in its ability to relate to the human condition. Art can make us nostalgic, optimistic, confused, elated, comforted, and questioned. Our upcoming exhibition featuring Utah based artist Ben Steele has a way of transporting the viewer from today's modern, and shall we say chaotic world, to the vibrant and familiar scenes of art history's past.

With a new month comes a renewal. A renewal of self, cadence, and intentions. Like trees, we grow taller and wiser with time. That said, a real journey is never without detours. Steven Jensen's powerful bronze sculpture mirrors that relationship elegantly.

Upon viewing Barbara Vaughn's work for the first time, many conclude that what they are viewing is a painting of sorts. Although the fluidity of Vaughn's work mimics the resemblance of brush strokes, viewers are actually looking at a photograph of a unique reflection in time. Provoli-Levanda captures the reflection of nearby electronic billboards in the Bellagio Fountains, Las Vegas.

Much like @lawrencefodor's kōan boxes, our sunsets in Sun Valley have lately been filled with saturated hues, dark tints, and endless emotion. As the colors sweep the sky with overwhelming exuberance, our minds take in the artwork of the earth. "A kōan is a paradoxical statement used in Zen Buddhism to demonstrate the inadequacies of logical thinking and provoke enlightenment—often a question. The Japanese origin of the word is literally 'matter for public thought.' The boxes are just that—they are a matter for consideration by the viewer. There is no correct answer, there is no ideal combination of color—the boxes consider the infinite variety, possibility, and responses to color." — LAWRENCE FODOR Lawrence Fodor | Kōan Box Trace IX | oil, alkyd resin, linseed oil, wax and 12kt gold on wood cigar box with embedded items | 10.5" x 8.25" x 2" | 2017 - 2020 #lawrencefodor #oilpainting #cigarbox #kōan #buddhism #paradox #meditation #color #combination #possibility #fineart #galleryart #artgallery #galleryartist #gallerywall #enlightenment #contrast #tgif #seeksunvalley #sunvalleysummer #summer #sunset #unique #colortheory #designer #IG_idaho

Life can present a set of obstacles that can have us all feeling like we are living in a maze of decisions, emotions, and ultimatums. Taking a note from @lloyd_.martin, if we just stand still enough to anchor ourselves, clarity and direction is never far behind.

Art, just like people, can be misleading. You never know just how many layers someone or something has. Chris Richter's meditative paintings evoke deep worlds of color by painting layer after layer of paint onto a birch-wood panel only to then sand down the paint (once dry) to achieve his desired form and finish. A beautiful reminder that things are not always as they appear on the surface.

Inspired by the fast approaching summer, we celebrate the beautiful works of Dara Mark with a vignette exhibition. Her unique watercolors infuse the flowing movements of the Chi-Gong practice ~ expressing fluidity in nature. Just as energy comes and goes, so do the seasons.
