“The Ann Korologos Gallery gives nuance to the idea of ‘Western art’, tapping into the American West and frontier culture as an inspiration for their collections. Focused on American artists working across various media from painting and photography to sculpture and print-making, Ann Korologos Gallery is an unmissable, distinctively Coloradan bulwark of the Rocky Mountains’ arts scene. Located outside of Aspen in the small town of Basalt, numerous artists featured at the gallery channel the town’s idyllic surroundings into their artistic vision, with particular reference to the town’s reputation as a mountain fishing Mecca.”
Ann Korologos Gallery presents "Landscapes: Near and Far" celebrating
the majestic landmarks and views from backcountry roads of the Roaring
Fork Valley, greater Colorado, and Utah with works by locally acclaimed
and nationally recognized artists Dan Young, Leon Loughridge, Peter
Campbell, Kate Starling & Deborah Paris.
Artist Peter Campbell seeks to convey an intimate and personal reaction
to nature. His oils capture the quiet of dawn, twilight and moonlight,
tapping into the spirit world. By limiting his palette and omitting
details, Peter effectively creates an atmosphere, a mood, sometimes a
dream-like world which is open to each viewer’s interpretation.
Fleeting glimpses are the spark behind many of Peter Campbell’s
landscape paintings. Out of the corner of his eye he will see something
that catches his fancy and inspires him to paint. The challenge comes,
he says, in trying to transfer that instant response to canvas. “You
almost have to fight to hold on to that original idea,” he says. "It
takes a lot of work to develop that glimpse into the work you’re trying
to produce."
