SUMMARY:Opening Reception: Hunter Hogan\, Sam Harvey\, and Sara Ransford
DESCRIPTION:Opening Reception: Friday\, August 28\, from 5 PM- 7 PM\nArtist Talk: Friday\, August 28 at 5:30 PM\nOn view: August 28 to September 25\, 2026 \n  \nThe Art Base is pleased to present A Sense of Place\, a new exhibition featuring artists Sam Harvey\, Hunter Hogan\, and Sara Ransford. Though each artist works from a unique perspective\, the exhibition reveals the many ways place can be interpreted as something deeply personal and continually evolving.  \nFor Hogan and Ransford\, artists who have spent decades living and working in the Roaring Fork Valley\, the landscape is far more than scenery. Mountains\, rivers\, gardens\, and canyon walls become points of departure for work that explores both the external environment and the internal landscapes of experience and identity.  \n \nSara Ransford’s paper clay sculptures emerge from years of exploring the mountains\, rivers\, and canyons of the American West. Influenced by the forces of erosion\, deposition\, and water’s relentless ability to reshape the earth\, her layered forms mirror both geological time and the emotional accumulation of lived experience. The repeated building\, exposing\, and revealing within her sculptures echoes the ways personal histories become embedded over time. Also debuting in this exhibition is a new series of ceramic trays developed during artist residencies over the past four years\, where experimentation with multiple clay bodies and remnants of Japanese processes opened new avenues of exploration.  \nHunter Hogan approaches place through observation of the living world. Her paintings are built from drawings\, digital studies\, and layers of gouache that evolve through an intuitive process in the studio. Recent works were inspired by three months spent in South Africa\, where gardens\, vegetation\, and patterns found in nature became catalysts for abstraction. Rather than painting landscapes directly\, Hogan distills the experience of being immersed in them\, creating works that evoke the quiet complexity of the natural world.  \n \nFor Sam Harvey\, making is a way of responding to space and place. Working without a predetermined outcome\, he allows each object to emerge through an ongoing dialogue with clay\, testing ideas through making\, remaking\, and refining. Practical realities\, including the scale of his kiln and the physical limits of the material itself\, become active collaborators in the work. Clay\, drawn from the earth\, is both responsive and unpredictable; it can bend\, break\, or fail\, reminding us that some aspects of making can be controlled while others remain unknowable. Harvey continually asks how far a form can be pushed in a particular time and place\, inventing techniques as needed while exploring volume\, body\, and structure. His sculptures often recall walls\, vessels\, monuments\, and ancient built forms\, where hard edges retain the softness inherent to clay and become anchors for the space they occupy.  \nAlthough their practices differ\, meaningful connections emerge throughout the exhibition. Ransford’s layered geological forms\, Hogan’s botanical abstractions\, and Harvey’s sculptural objects each explore how place is built\, remembered\, and experienced. Together\, the artists reveal that our relationship with place is never static; it is continually shaped by time\, experimentation\, limitation\, discovery\, and renewal.  \nA Sense of Place invites viewers to slow down and reflect on their own connections to the spaces they inhabit and the places that continue to shape and inspire them.  \n  \nThis exhibition is generously sponsored by CCY Architects and Kathy Honea \n  \n \n  \nThank you to our generous 2026 Annual Exhibition Sponsor\, Alpine Bank

SUMMARY:Opening Reception: David Clark "Mt Sopris in Black and White"
DESCRIPTION:Opening Reception: Friday\, October 2 from 5 PM- 7 PM\nArtist Talk: Friday\, October 2 at 5:30 PM\nOn view: October 2 to October 30\, 2026 \n  \nThis exhibition features a curated selection of 12-14 of the artist’s most compelling black-and-white photographs of Mount Sopris\, captured over the past 15 years. Each image is presented as a metal print ranging from 20×30 to 30×45 inches\, including both horizontal and vertical compositions\, with several works offered as multi-panel installations. The display will also highlight a series of distinctive ‘Raised Texture Ink’ metal prints\, which introduce a subtle three-dimensional quality to otherwise traditional photographic surfaces. The final arrangement will occupy approximately half of the gallery space\, with the number and scale of works tailored to the exhibition layout. \n  \nThank you to our generous 2026 Annual Exhibition Sponsor\, Alpine Bank

SUMMARY:Opening Reception: Michael Kinsley "Sensuous Landscapes"
DESCRIPTION:On view: October 2 to October 30\, 2026\nOpening Reception: Friday\, October 2\, from 5 PM- 7 PM\nArtist Talk: Friday\, October 2 at 5:30 PM \n  \nRooted in traditional representational painting\, Kinsley’s style has evolved to amplify Nature’s sensual forms\, some obvious\, others obscure. One curator calls his work “voluptuous.” \nIn oil\, he paints his smaller pieces plein air. Larger pieces begin as field sketches that establish composition\, which he amplifies in the studio as sinuous natural shapes. These two-steps allow him to see on-site the convergence of subtle shapes that photos often miss\, then interpret and refine the shapes more deliberatively in the studio. \nHis primary subjects are Western Colorado and the Utah desert\, mostly from the Roaring Fork Valley. Influences include Canadian modernists Emily Carr and Franklin Carmichael. Also\, Edgar Payne\, Maynard Dixon\, and Cezanne\, plus friends Dan Young (Silt)\, Tania Dibbs (Basalt)\, and the Hermitage Group (St Petersburg\, Russia) \nCurrently\, his paintings are on display at Aspen’s Wind River Gallery. Since the 90s\, they have appeared in 14 galleries and in over 20 local community exhibits\, including juried shows. Institutional collections include Parc Aspen Restaurant\, Colorado River Conservation District\, Valley View Hospital\, and Rocky Mountain Institute. \n  \nThank you to our generous 2026 Annual Exhibition Sponsor\, Alpine Bank \n \n

SUMMARY:Opening Reception: Chris Hassig
DESCRIPTION:Opening Reception: Friday\, November 6 from 5 PM- 7 PM\nArtist Talk: Friday\, November 6 at 5:30 PM\nOn view: November 6 to December 4\, 2026 \n  \nChris Hassig (b. 1987) is an artist and community leader based in Carbondale\, Colorado whose intricate drawings and prints blur the boundaries between landscape\, abstraction\, and imagined worlds. Rooted in a lifelong fascination with mapping and mark-making\, Hassig’s work ranges from expansive multi-panel etchings of his fictional country\, Saiopor\, to densely detailed ink drawings inspired by close observations of nature. His practice merges precision and play\, incorporating printmaking\, cyanotype\, collage\, and sewn elements that highlight both meticulous craftsmanship and improvisation. \n  \nThank you to our generous 2026 Annual Exhibition Sponsor\, Alpine Bank

SUMMARY:Opening Reception: Lindsey Yeager
DESCRIPTION:Opening Reception: Friday\, December 11 from 5 PM- 7 PM\nArtist Talk: Friday\, December 11 at 5:30 PM\nOn view: December 11\, 2026 to January 2\, 2027 \n  \nLindsey Yeager creates large-scale gouache paintings that explore disconnection\, grief\, transformation\, and the emotional weight of living in a rapidly changing world. Their work merges personal narrative with broader cultural anxieties–examining loss\, fear\, and the longing to be understood. Through vivid imagery and metaphor\, the paintings probe the messy\, creature-like experience of navigating a world that often feels uninhabitable. \n  \nThank you to our generous 2026 Annual Exhibition Sponsor\, Alpine Bank
