CULTURE AROUND THE CORNER

Oct 18, 2000

Do you know the difference between ?“hyper-realist?” and ?“new realist?”
art? If not ?– or even if you do ?– you can find both types created by
Colorado artists in LoDo art galleries this month.

John DeAndrea, a Colorado artist with international acclaim as a leading
exponent of hyper-realist sculpture, shows his work this month at Ron
Judish Fine Arts (1617 Wazee St). ?“Though his sculptures sometimes
create a certain tension through the choice of sitter, pose and
expression, others are more typical of the subtle content and
composition of his work,?” writes H.W. Janson, History of Art, Third
Edition.

Meanwhile, Colorado artist Jerry Kunkel, in his one-person show
Conscious Ground, exhibits multi-panel, new ?– realist paintings that,
Jim Robischon says, ?“he assembles to suggest narrative and symbolist
themes.?” The exhibit is at Robischon Gallery (1740 Wazee St.) where
Myron Melnick (castpaper sculptor) and Heather Wilcoxon (abstract
paintings) also have works on view.

Exhibits at Robischon Gallery and Ron Judish Fine Arts both end October
21.
