Portrait as Narrative and Narrative as Portrait March 7, 2013

The exhibit features three Utah artists: Andrew Ballstaedt, Jethro Gillespie and Rebecca Pletsch. Each artist's works come within the realm of portraiture, and each are interested in narratives and experiences related to their own personal histories. All three artists grew up in Utah which thematically ties the work together, yet each artist's style, technique, and use of media is quite different, and when juxtaposed together, creates a visually strong collection of work from emerging Utah artists.
