Slate Gray Gallery is excited to host an exhibition of new work by Joseph Toney, a Utah artist with an illustrative painting style that reimagines the landscape, mostly mountains, in a contemporary and often geometric way. Joseph is well known for his black and white ink renderings of the mountains, but more recently, he has been experimenting with color and materials. Most notably, he has expanded his practice beyond his studio and the confines of a canvas by creating large-scale murals. The artist will be in the gallery from July 26 - 29, painting directly on the gallery walls to produce a site-specific, one of a kind work of art. Join us at the opening reception on Thursday, August 1st from 5 - 8pm to meet the artist and see the completed mural.
"These new works started with a couple of weeks spent camping and recreating high up in the San Juans last fall. With reference photos in tow, I have been creating new moments in the studio that combine hours and sometimes days of time into new singular compositions. The new works offer a familiar vantage point while beckoning the viewer into points unknown."
