Translations Gallery is proud to announce that we are expanding!  Expanding our artists, that is.  We have recently begun representing 21 new artists, most of whom live and work in Colorado.  These artists work in a wide variety of media, including paint, metal, ceramics, fiber and other materials.  They have collectively created a vast body of beautiful work.  We would like to introduce them to you.  Because there are 21, however, which is really quite a lot, we will be approaching these introductions in a series of blog posts, of which this is the first.  So here are the stats on 7 of the brand new artists Translations Gallery is thrilled and proud to represent.

PATRICIA AARON — (www.patriciaaaron.com)

The recent winner of Best in Show at the This is Colorado exhibit, Patricia Aaron’s mixed-media encaustic works are truly stunning.  Her pieces tend to be based on scenes remembered from her Ohio childhood, the abstract works evoking the kind of gritty, grey urbanism you feel when standing in the middle of a busy city that has been polluted by industry.  Aaron approaches these landscapes with a lovely combination of honesty and nostalgia, the combination of which produces work that is fascinating in its ability to simultaneously project both order and chaos.
