James Dormer & Paul Flippen:
Translations Gallery is proud to feature work by Colorado State Fine Art Professors James Dormer & Paul Flippen. The essence of James Dormer's printmaking work is found in nature, though it is not an attempt to portray the local landscape. Rather, his work becomes more an abstraction of his experiences; much of it is arrived at through memory, automatism and the subconscious. The imagery also reflects his interpretation of literature written by Wallace Stevens, Marianne Moore, William Carlos Williams, Robert Frost, Jean Dubuffet, and Friedrich Nietzsche.
Paul Flippen creates visual puzzles. His works are autobiographical, functioning as metaphorical self-portraits that communicate through the layering of associative meaning. Objects, emblems or patterns act as citations, references to aspects of his artistic and personal relationships. His paintings communicate through several languages simultaneously by incorporating a variety of applications and techniques. Crisp-edged patterns and representations overlay, and comment on, the central image of the panel. These build and overlap resulting in circles of intent that clarify their meaning through the accumulation of implications.
Gallery Hours: 11-6 Tuesday-Saturday
