For “STILL”, West will exhibit 30 new studio works, all dated from 2010.</span></p> <p style="text-align: center;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 5px/normal 'Helvetica Light'; min-height: 6px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p> <p style="text-align: center;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 5px/normal 'Helvetica Light'; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">West’s choice of “STILL” as the title for his first solo gallery show is not without irony. There is nothing sedate about West’s canvases, with highly developed pictorial areas bouncing off of dynamic abstractions and explosions of color, they are “still” only as far as they are pigment fixed on canvas. West’s breakneck rate of production is also the opposite of “still”. While painting on stage with CLOUD CULT he literally has 45 minutes to create a work and even though the works for “STILL” have been created more slowly in the studio, for West that means working on a painting a day, often on more than one painting at a time. Once the works are in the Tarnish & Gold space, even then they will not remain “still”; as West takes up residency in the gallery he will re-arrange the show as he sees fit. “I hope,” he says with a mischievous twinkle, “that it will be a completely different show when it comes down from when it went up.”</span></p><p style="text-align: center;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 5px/normal 'Helvetica Light'; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 5.0px 'Helvetica Light'"></p><p style="text-align: center;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 5px/normal 'Helvetica Light'; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">TARNISH & GOLD Gallery hours:</span></p> <p style="text-align: center;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 5px/normal 'Helvetica Light'; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Tuesday - Saturday</span></p> <p style="text-align: center;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 5px/normal 'Helvetica Light'; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">3:00 pm - 8:00 pm</span></p> <p style="text-align: center;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 5px/normal 'Helvetica Light'; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">1511 Marshall St NE Minneapolis</span></p><p></p><p></p>Scott Westhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12725712112291746819noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5585496675543368452.post-89611604298023209672010-10-05T20:40:00.002-05:002010-10-05T20:42:19.185-05:0010/5/10 - Latest from the Studio<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHkoGw6EWYzAkJupxDHMNc42xGY1ANE2b90U6YjUq9mkxMBiqj2e5RKY1Gmze-oZRRoAnJxvrdFcrzFFoCj6dpI9UR4wrVvK7v32VMkRUhul__WicadmLbL1v9EYbHZ1cpQcJNzk0ec3pc/s1600/scottwest.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHkoGw6EWYzAkJupxDHMNc42xGY1ANE2b90U6YjUq9mkxMBiqj2e5RKY1Gmze-oZRRoAnJxvrdFcrzFFoCj6dpI9UR4wrVvK7v32VMkRUhul__WicadmLbL1v9EYbHZ1cpQcJNzk0ec3pc/s320/scottwest.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5524741929738307314" /></a>This is a snapshot from the studio.

This is one of our favorite venues in one of the greatest cities. After making the long drive from Minneapolis we were very happy to arrive in such a welcoming town. There is something about seeing the ridges as were driving into Denver that sets a perspective on scale and where our place is on this earth. I am thankful for the travels and the understanding it gives me. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">While in town I got the chance to hang out with my brother-n-law Tim and our friend Laura. We ate a great Thai place just down the block from The Bluebird. I would recommend Tommy's if your passing through Denver. Actually I think the band eats at Tommy's every time we pass through.
