The Estate Sale - 10 Years with Core Art Space - Earl Chuvarsky

As Chuvarsky embarks on a 10 year retrospective journey at Core Art Space, he finds

himself reflecting on the evolution of his artistic journey over the past decade. What began as a

humble exploration in illustration has grown into a multidisciplinary exploration of traditional art

techniques intertwined with contemporary narratives.

“At the heart of my practice lies a deep reverence for the process of creation. Whether wielding a paintbrush, carving into wood, or shaping clay, I am continuously drawn to the tactile and

meditative nature of hands-on craftsmanship. It is through this intimate engagement with

materials that I find a profound connection to both past and present. Themes of identity, memory, and the human experience pervade my work, each piece serving as a visual dialogue with the world around me. Drawing inspiration from personal introspection, societal observations, and the beauty of the natural world, I strive to evoke emotions and provoke contemplation in the minds of viewers. Growing up amidst the majestic landscapes and diverse communities of Denver has deeply influenced my artistic sensibilities, infusing my work with a sense of place and a spirit of exploration. From the towering peaks of the Rocky Mountains to the bustling streets of the city, I draw upon the rich tapestry of my surroundings to inform and inspire my creative process.

“As I look back on the past decade of artistic exploration, I am filled with gratitude for the

opportunities, challenges, and growth that have shaped my journey. With each brushstroke, each pencil mark, and each sculpted form, I seek to illuminate the interconnectedness of tradition and innovation, forging a path that honors the past while embracing the future. I invite you to join me on this retrospective voyage, to explore the layers of meaning and the stories whispered within each artwork. May my work serve as a testament to the enduring power of art to transcend boundaries, spark dialogue, and inspire the human spirit.

“Thank you for being a part of this journey.”

beWILDer - Unexpected Landscapes - Phyllis Anderson

Here In Colorado, we are surrounded by beautiful landscapes and often see faithful representations in painting, photography and other media. But what to make of a blue elk with a glowing halo? Or moonlit mountains under a Kandinsky sky? A snowy river view includes a mysterious yellow tree - is this a setting for a fairy tale or a memory from a dream? These are some of the quirky, romantic images included in Anderson’s first solo show at CORE Art Space, beWILDer - Unexpected Landscapes. Using vivid paint combined with drawing media like charcoal, pastel, and pencil, Anderson approaches the venerable landscape tradition with imagination, playfulness, and a touch of surrealism.
