During the 2012/2013 Season, photographer Eric Robert Dallimore spent a year photographing Wonderbound (formerly known as Ballet Nouveau Colorado) in the studio and on-stage for every performance. What emerges are 60 intimate portraits of Garrett Ammon and Dawn Fay directing the dancers in the studio, behind the curtain, on the stage, and in the theater. Shot with 3200 speed film in both medium format and 35mm, these silver gelatin prints are stark, impassioned, and singularly intense.

My Father took 9 pictures of JFK on the campaign trail in Grand Rapids, Michigan, in 2 minutes in August, 1960 after marrying my Mother who grew up in Grand Haven, Mich. I grew up in New Orleans, where my Father is from. The 1″ negatives were given to me when I was young, and I had 2 sets developed as snapshots in the 1980’s. The negatives and photos survived Hurricane Katrina with little else, in a suitcase in my attic.

‘Primal Ooze’ is a visual exploration of the way extinct humans might have created and worshiped art. The work is made utilizing sticks, leaves, found wood, totems, soot ink, 22 karat gold and burned logs from fire circles.

I tear things apart and put them back together. This is how I eventually come to an understanding of them.

In his most current body of work, Barth Quenzer finds comfort in an estranged aesthetic, a feeling that places the viewer in a space between the formal and the abstract. His paintings are thick and layered leaving plenty for the eye to discover. In these paintings, worlds collide with explosive color and texture. The recognizable themes in his work rely on playful studies and experimental painting processes using oils, acrylics, latex and found images.

As with most of my work, Harmonographology, is an ongoing experiment in the visual and physical appreciation of the only slightly out-of-unison- and-ultimately-dependent nature of the universe, which happens to yield infinitely varied results even within this charmingly narrow scope of study.

Contained herein, is a collection of symbols (the series), organized into controlled groupings of symbols (each canvas), paired with excerpts from R. Buckminster Fuller’s Intuition. The interpretation and meaning of any level of this system of symbols will be unique to your individual experience.

Georgann Low celebrates her expressions of the French landscape and sculpture through paintings and drawings. These conversations reflect the beauty of a life well lived as a jazz singer and visual artist between the French countryside and Denver, Colorado.

Owner and Curator of Leon, Eric Robert Dallimore will show five new sculptural installations which focus primarily on utilizing Pine Beetle Kill wood, with accents of moss, and temples of glass. These living materials will come together to create self-contained worlds that mysteriously communicate with their outer surroundings. With an emphasis of dignity on form, these massive sculptures will transform the 1,000 square foot interior of Leon art gallery into an interior sculpture garden.
