ARTIST ARMANTROUT TO EXHIBIT AT SPS SALIDA

Following the One who Knows the Way/60"x48" Oil paintingSellars Project Space is pleased to present the work of Colorado artist Linda Armantrout in an exhibition of new works titled, Following the One Who Knows the Way. This exhibition opens with a reception for the artist on Saturday, May 9th, 2015 from 5 - 8 p.m. during the Salida Artists’ Second Saturday Gallery Tour and will continue through June 8th, 2015.

Armantrout’s work uses the form of the moving horse, and other symbolically charged animals and people, as a metaphor for the power of spirit. Her process includes meditation, sketching, drawing, and color theory. She manipulates both line and color to make energy and emotions visible. This body of work evolved from an exploration of the layers of meaning found in common symbols, both prehistoric and historic, and of the universality of the symbols found in our spiritual ancestry on cave and rock walls.

From it’s storefront in the state’s largest historic district, the gallery and store offers visitors a glimpse into the life of mountain living.
