NEW PAINTINGS AND DRAWINGS
BY LUI FERREYRA

Ferreyra, best known for his haunting figurative works, has turned his eye on the landscape plane and broken it into elements of geometry and color, which are then re-assembled by the eye of the viewer. The work unites the philosophy of the Cubists with the technology of the pixel and is a new series for the artist, who is considered one of the area’s rising stars.

WEST OF LAST CHANCE:
PHOTOGRAPHY BY PETER BROWN

Peter Brown has taken photos of the vast and sometimes decimated western landscape. He has chronicled the death of rural America and the spread of urban detritus across Texas and the plains. Kent Haruf has paired these starkly elegant depictions with text in the recently released book West of Last Chance (W.W. Norton & Company). Kent Haruf is the author of the New York Times best-selling novel, Plainsong, whose stage adaptation by Eric Schmiedl will have its world premiere at the Denver Center Theatre January 25th through February 25th. Examples of Peter’s photos and text from the book will be displayed in the lobby of the theater during the run of the performances. There will also be a book signing of West of Last Chance at The Tattered Cover in LoDo March 7th.
