Museum-level contemporary art exhibitions of regional, national and international artists since 1976

Since its inception in 1976, Robischon Gallery has been producing museum-level contemporary art exhibitions of regional, national, and international artists. Embracing the current pluralism in art, the exhibitions and artists represented purposefully address a continuum of stylistic and contextual concerns, allowing for a diverse range of voices. Robischon Gallery’s expansive exhibition program ma

intains a commitment to burgeoning and mid-career artists of integrity and vision both regionally and nationally while broadening its list of historically significant artists to include Kiki Smith, Richard Serra, Manuel Neri, and Christo, among others. Robischon Gallery’s represented artists of influence such as Judy Pfaff, Ann Hamilton, Enrique Martínez Celaya, John Buck, and Bernar Venet reaffirm the gallery’s vision to foster thought-provoking and dynamic progressions in contemporary art. Robischon Gallery’s thematically driven exhibitions are scheduled seven times per year, with each exhibition typically composed of two to three concurrent solo exhibitions and one featured group presentation. The gallery’s annual programming supports up to twenty solo exhibitions within its 9,000 square-foot space. Painting, sculpture, drawing, photography, prints, video, and installation are regularly presented by those established and emerging artists who are engaged in a variety of art-making practices. The robust artist list reflects the many diverse relationships throughout Robischon Gallery’s nearly 45 years in operation, including the names of currently represented and affiliated artists, as well as those artists who have been primarily associated with the gallery through its exhibition program. The gallery has long been recognized for premiering important artists and exhibiting challenging forms of creative expression over the last four-plus decades, as it continues to set bold new standards for contemporary art in the Mountain States region.

Installation is nearly complete at Robischon Gallery for our four upcoming concurrent solo exhibitions OPENING THURSDAY September 10th from 6-8pm.

Featured here are two of the four uniquely accomplished artists: historically important sculptor, John Buck and highly inventive painter, David Hytone. The artists boldly embrace the surreal and symbolic, in complex modes both abstract and representational. Through their remarkable and distinctive vocabularies, artists John Buck and David Hytone offer imagery with the intent for broad interpretation, artfully prompting a kind of dream logic.

Join us on Thursday for John Buck’s 𝑁𝑒𝑤 + 𝑅𝑒𝑣𝑖𝑒𝑤 and David Hytone’s 𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝑂𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑟 𝐸𝑛𝑑 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑇𝑒𝑙𝑒𝑠𝑐𝑜𝑝𝑒 alongside two equally exemplary exhibitions, Tom Judd’s 𝐼𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑟𝑢𝑝𝑡𝑒𝑑 𝐿𝑎𝑛𝑑𝑠𝑐𝑎𝑝𝑒 and Stephen Batura’s 𝑆𝑡𝑖𝑙𝑙 𝑃𝑜𝑖𝑛𝑡. Together, and individually, all four concurrent solo exhibitions transform the familiar and identifiable into poetic imagery both timeless and present - embracing cultural and historical touch-points generously open to interpretation.

Installation is underway at Robischon Gallery, with the work of Tom Judd and Stephen Batura now in place for the upcoming opening on Thursday, September 10th from 6–8pm.

Long represented by the gallery, Judd and Batura bring their distinctive visions of the American West to their respective solo exhibitions: Judd’s 𝐼𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑟𝑢𝑝𝑡𝑒𝑑 𝐿𝑎𝑛𝑑𝑠𝑐𝑎𝑝𝑒 and Batura’s 𝑆𝑡𝑖𝑙𝑙 𝑃𝑜𝑖𝑛𝑡. In their individual modes, both accomplished artists offer anachronistic, evocative, yet recognizable expressions of American landscape and history.

Tom Judd and Stephen Batura’s exhibitions are on view alongside two equally exemplary exhibitions, John Buck’s 𝑁𝑒𝑤 + 𝑅𝑒𝑣𝑖𝑒𝑤 and David Hytone’s 𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝑂𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑟 𝑆𝑖𝑑𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑇𝑒𝑙𝑒𝑠𝑐𝑜𝑝𝑒. Together, each of the four concurrent solo exhibitions explore surrealist sensibilities from distinct perspectives, revealing the artists’ varied approaches to transforming the familiar into something timeless and unconventional. Through lenses that are cultural, historical, environmental, and psychological, each artist invites viewers on a deeply personal journey of interpretation.

Join us and three of the four artists––John Buck, Tom Judd, and Stephen Batura––at the reception on Thursday, September 10th, as we celebrate these four singular visions and the intriguing idiosyncratic perspectives they bring to contemporary art.

“I’ve sought truth in art with an ambition; and fought like hell all my life to accomplish my purpose as a human being. Even after I finish my life, I want younger people, or everyone, to talk about my enthusiasm-reaching to space-and my art as a token of my life even after my death.”

-Yayoi Kusama

In remembrance, we honor the legacy and mourn the loss of Yayoi Kusama, an unparalleled visionary in the realm of contemporary art, whose immersive installations–most notably her early Infinity Room series–pioneered concepts of relational aesthetics by dissolving boundaries between the individual, the artwork, and the surrounding environment, while making her work and her internal experience an interactive social event.

While the artist’s profound use of immersion, repetition and performance brought her international acclaim, Kusama’s works on canvas and paper are also firmly established as historically ground-breaking.

Robischon Gallery was privileged in 2016 to exhibit two Kusama historical paintings (slides 3-5) as part of DECLARATION, a regionally important and expansive exhibition that linked some of art history’s most powerful and inspiring modern and contemporary artists. Featuring modern artists Louise Bourgeois, Joan Mitchell, Alice Neel, Helen Franekthaler, and Ruth Bernhard, and contemporary artists Judy Pfaff, Ann Hamilton, Linda Fleming, Jae Ko, Shirin Neshat, Kara Walker, Lorna Simpson, and Mickalene Thomas–these important figures were united through lineage, adjacent practice, bold ingenuity, vision, and by their considerable influence.

Yayoi Kusama’s work will continue to enrich the wider cultural landscape, and has notably paved the way for future generations of women in art.

Acclaimed science-based conceptual artist Jim Sanborn’s distinguished and successful career was recently covered in an insightful interview with Sculpture Magazine. His long held interest in secrecy, replicas, and historically significant scientific breakthroughs invites us to think differently about complex socio-political subjects. Sanborn sheds light on his inspirations, unconventionally risky processes, and educational background in this remarkable interview.

The article describes; “For Jim Sanborn, who has been creating science-based public artworks, installations, and sculptures for several decades, art-making doubles as an exploration of hidden worlds, a way to “make the invisible visible.” He has investigated natural forces like magnetism and the Coriolis effect, Euclidean and Cartesian geometry, and nuclear science, as well as secretive institutional and criminal systems. Over time, his projects have taken numerous turns [...] but they remain based in formidable research and always retain an aura of surprise and fascination.”

Visit https://robischongallery.com/artist/jim-sanborn to read the full interview and discover the incredible intricacies and depth behind the artist’s wide ranging art practice and interests. From cryptography, as in the world famous unsolved example of “Kryptos,” to nuclear technology, to archaeology and antiquities, including Sanborn’s investigations into cultural patrimony, looting and replicas, this artist has made irrevocable changes to multiple fields of study through his bold conceptual approach.

THANK YOU to all who visited and thoughtfully engaged with Robischon Gallery’s four recently concluded exhibitions by six highly accomplished, imaginative artists; Kate Petley, 𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝑊𝑒𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡 𝑜𝑓 𝑀𝑦 𝐴𝑡𝑡𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛, Deborah Zlotsky 𝑀𝑜𝑠𝑎𝑖𝑐, Jae Ko and Linda Fleming in 𝐹𝑜𝑟𝑐𝑒𝑠, as well as Derrick Velasquez and Teo González 𝑁𝑒𝑤 + 𝑅𝑒𝑐𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝑊𝑜𝑟𝑘.

The work of all six extraordinary artists captivated visitors and transformed the gallery with their shared sense of vibrancy, unconventionality, and a keenly honed abstract sensibility. Robischon Gallery extends its deep appreciation to each exhibited artist whose creativity generously ignited both inspiration and wonder.

UPCOMING: Robischon Gallery’s next series of exhibitions will open THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 10TH from 6-8pm, with four dynamic exhibitions of painting, sculpture and drawing. Featuring the notable works of Tom Judd, John Buck, David Hytone and Stephen Batura, the four upcoming solo exhibitions will present uniquely compelling explorations into implied narrative and a poetic sense of place.

This Saturday August 22nd, from 12-5pm, is the final opportunity to experience four captivating solo exhibitions concurrently on view at Robischon Gallery: 𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝑊𝑒𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡 𝑜𝑓 𝑀𝑦 𝐴𝑡𝑡𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 by Kate Petley; 𝑀𝑜𝑠𝑎𝑖𝑐, by Deborah Zlotsky; 𝐹𝑜𝑟𝑐𝑒𝑠 by Jae Ko and Linda Fleming; and 𝑁𝑒𝑤 + 𝑅𝑒𝑐𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝑊𝑜𝑟𝑘 by Derrick Velasquez and Teo González.

United through vibrant chromatic intensity and an unconventional approach toward abstraction, the six accomplished artists presented are highly distinguished through their signature point of view and individualized studio practice.

Fundamentally, each artist is in the pursuit of the unexpected; directing how light meets hybrid form, harnessing the vibratory nature of color, riding the line of gravity and visual weightlessness, overt dimensionality in both 2 and 3D, or merging the formal with narration. Petley, Zlotsky, Ko, Fleming, Velasquez, and González unapologetically embrace the exuberant complexity of abstraction, and in their gifted hands, its ability to ignite what is both contemplative and invigorating.

Presenting abstract forms ranging from charged, innovative canvases, to sculpture created out of paper, steel or vinyl, the exhibitions on view are not to be missed.

On view now through Saturday, August 22nd.

Exploring abstraction through highly individualized practices, acclaimed artists Jae Ko and Linda Fleming are concurrently on view in 𝐹𝑜𝑟𝑐𝑒𝑠, Robischon Gallery’s dynamic two-person exhibition. Through a shared fascination with potent form and pattern, the two exceptional artists, known for challenging convention, reveal the extraordinary possibilities of innovation in both approach and material application.

Fleming’s subtly light-responsive steel wall sculptures distinctively explore the curvilinear movements in nature, and the shifting relationship between object, shadow, and environment. The artist’s lauded practice spans a wide scope of materials and scale, from maquettes to monumental site-specific works, with drawing serving as a generative force. Fluid forms fabricated in steel, wood, felt and rubber, reflect Fleming’s bold sense of materiality and her enduring fascination with physics through a mesmerizing physicality of negative space and compact lines.

Ko’s dramatic, intensely saturated ink and paper sculptures transform common receipt paper through repetition, cutting, twisting, and the varied absorption of ink. Her evolving practice, from the formal abstraction on view in 𝐹𝑜𝑟𝑐𝑒𝑠, to her earlier nature-based work, has developed into a singular vocabulary over decades, embodying refined movement, potent color and visually tactile presence.

Enjoy this brief look at a few current and past works by these standout artists, whose pursuit of spirited form, myriad linear pattern and materiality continue to both distinguish and dazzle audiences nationally and abroad.

𝐹𝑜𝑟𝑐𝑒𝑠 is on view through Saturday August 22 alongside three additional exhibitions in abstraction; 𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝑊𝑒𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡 𝑜𝑓 𝑀𝑦 𝐴𝑡𝑡𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 by Kate Petley; 𝑀𝑜𝑠𝑎𝑖𝑐, by Deborah Zlotsky; and 𝑁𝑒𝑤 + 𝑅𝑒𝑐𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝑊𝑜𝑟𝑘 by Derrick Velasquez and Teo González.

"Abstraction provides a language of metaphor for responding to a life lived on the surface of accumulating pasts; a mosaic whose pieces are never quite reconciled.”
-Deborah Zlotsky

Robischon artist Deborah Zlotsky’s signature abstract syntax of stripes, graceful contours and extreme hues, reveals unexpected trompe l’oeil structures through a balance of beauty and humor. In her current, expansive painting exhibition at Robischon Gallery, 𝑀𝑜𝑠𝑎𝑖𝑐, the accomplished artist presents yet another joyful viewing experience for visitors as each work unfolds as a visual puzzle. Zlotsky's latest spirited, chromatically charged series further engages through many intriguing moments of surprise and discovery.

𝑀𝑜𝑠𝑎𝑖𝑐 marks Zlotsky’s fourth solo exhibition at Robischon Gallery, featuring 13 captivating new paintings, continuing an artistic practice that has evolved across a remarkable range of media. Working fluidly between works on canvas, panel and paper, chalk murals, and silk tapestries, Zlotsky embraces abstraction as a dynamic visual mode that seamlessly blends her personal approach to geometry and illusion from a wit-filled stance.

Enjoy a look back at Deborah Zlotsky's previous exhibitions at Robischon, noting that the artist's concurrent solo exhibition at the gallery is now extended through Saturday August 22nd, along with additionally dynamic exhibitions featuring artists Kate Petley, Jae Ko, Linda Fleming, Derrick Velasquez, and Teo González.
