In her exhibition “Resonant Echoes”” Barton presents a collection of paintings and drawings designed to offer a pause for exploration. These works provide an open framework that may evoke internal echoes and resonances. Barton believes geometry serves as a universal visual language, quietly acting as a catalyst for thought and reflection.

931 Gallery is proud to announce the upcoming exhibition What Was / What Is, on view Aug. 29th, 2025 through Sept. 28th, 2025. What Was / What Is brings together works from six Colorado artists that examine meaning within the physical and psychological landscapes we inhabit. Using diverse approaches and mediums, each artist considers past and present while investigating what lies beneath. From garish clichés to covert symbolism, What Was / What Is invites viewers to consider new ways of understanding through a visual feast celebrating process and form.

Participating artists Janine Thornton, Julie Jablonski, Eli West, Manda Remmen, Leah Swenson, and Tricia Vitrano explore these themes in diverse mediums: from steel, embroidery, and assemblage to silk organza, encaustic, and felt.

An opening reception will be held Sunday Aug. 31st from 12pm to 4pm; a Collectors reception will be held on Third Friday September 19, 2025 from 5-9 PM and a closing reception will be held  on Sept. 28th, 2025 from 11am to 3pm.

Talia Johns, a fiber artist, presents What Remains, an introspective and materially diverse exhibition that investigates the emotional terrain of memory, conflict, and endurance. Working with surface-designed fiber sculptures, delicate wire forms, shadow-cut panels, and collaged color studies, Johns examines what endures in the wake of disruption. In her wire sculptures form and shadow operate in tandem, creating ambiguity and nuance. Shadows do more than echo the objects; they reveal new meanings, simultaneously obstructing and illuminating. This exhibition doesn’t seek resolution, but presence. What Remains is a meditation on fragility, resilience, and the quiet force of staying.

Tracey Russell, an abstract expressionist painter based in the Boulder-Denver area, presents Manifesting Clutter, a body of work that elevates the overlooked. Inspired by everyday objects and the piles of mundane “stuff” that accumulate in our living spaces - papers, containers, towels, Russell transforms visual noise into vibrant compositions. What once was a blur in the periphery becomes the subject itself. Through sketches drawn from life and translated into expressive paintings, clutter becomes a visual language of patterns, colors, and lines. This work finds unexpected beauty in the unnoticed and asks viewers to reconsider the emotional weight of the ordinary.

Show Runs July 25, 2025 through August 24, 2025

Artists Denise Demby and Sue Simon will be exhibiting their new solo series of work in this naturally inspired show!

In The Back Gallery

Sue Simon Summer Solstice

“This group of paintings is about summer and the solstice which begins the summer season with the longest day of the year.

I always think of summer as a time that is beautiful and green, with swimming and fragrance and mystery in the dark skies.

It is also a time of extreme heat and bugs and sometimes irritation and can make me long for winter.

This exhibit is as much about the science of summer as the feeling and experience of this special time of year. “

In the Front Gallery

Denise Demby will be showing her new series of paintings called“ Floating Fields”. In this series of work she draws from childhood memories of playing in the open fields in Colorado, the atmospheric impact of incoming weather and the legacy of the abstract expressionist school and its recognition of ancient symbolic forms. The larger scale paintings incorporate expression of play and being in a mental place of pure imagination.

Show Runs June 20-July 20, 2025

Guest Artist: Sue Crosby Doyle

Please Join 931 Gallery for The Opening Reception for Transference, New Works by Cristina Bowes. In the world of psychology, transference is the subtle process of projecting our innermost emotions onto the people and things around us, often without our awareness. This exhibition calls upon the viewer to connect deeply with each piece, to feel its essence and see the message I’ve sought to share. My hope is that, through emotion, you will perceive the meaning woven into every work.

Karen’s paintings are an expression of what exists in her imagination using line, shape, color, and texture.  They often reflect her life experiences or thoughts, but are mostly a subconscious

experience.  She does not try to create a particular image, but lets her brush ebb and flow, eluding

reality, reaching for the unknown through her expression of art.

EXHIBIT RUNS NOV 29, 2024- DEC 22, 2024

Experience a unique artistic collaboration at our upcoming exhibition. Judy Doherty, abstract watercolorist, and Deborah Carlson, a glass artist, have joined forces to create a non-traditional, contemporary exhibit. They've blended their ideas and philosophies from two different traditional media into one cohesive thought. Bustin’ Out 1 focuses on finding common themes, styles, or narratives that unite their pieces. Bustin’ Out 2 is a joint project where they've curated their works together to enhance the overall experience for the viewers. This exhibition is a testament to the power of communication and compromise in maintaining coherence while still allowing each artist’s unique voice to shine through.
