"What Gets Filtered Out by Speed," essay and review of Phillips Gallery exhibit, by Van Lewis, 15 Bytes, June 2006, p. 1 (scroll down) & p. 6. From the essay: "I have rarely seen a bunch of paintings that so strongly demands engagement and that deals so plainly in the following simultaneities: sensual and cerebral, abstract and figural, planar and spatial, journalistic and subjective. My enjoyment of these paintings is multilayered: they are forthcoming enough that I feel a simple pleasure in their colors, shapes, and sense of space, but they are difficult enough that I feel compelled to make sense of them, to put my mind to them."
Phillips Gallery, exhibit with Francesc Burgos, May 19 - June 9. Link to gallery page: works in exhibit.
"Urban Organica," + Gallery, Denver, CO, April 13 - May 19. Link to gallery page: works in exhibit and essay by Ivar Zeile, gallery director.

The paintings in "Urban Organica" are full of depth, skill and a connection to the environment that is thoroughly engaging."

Utah Arts Council's 2002
Fellowship Awardees:
Jean Arnold
& David Delthony
The Utah Arts Council awards
Fellowship to two artists annually. The exhibit included
Jean Arnold's large mixed-media drawings of abstracted, surrealistic urban
landscapes, and David Delthony's organic, sculptured wood furniture.
The juror, Townsend Wolfe,
director of the Arkansas Arts Center, Little Rock, Arkansas, finds that the
artists share common strengths: "Their clarity of vision, inventive exploration
of space, solid statements of form, line and movement, caused me to understand
and believe in their art."
A
catalogue is available featuring the work of both artists, and is available on request. |

Review of 2002 Fellowship
Exhibition
"Form
and Function," review by Dave Gagon,
Deseret News, October 6, 2002, p. E1, Salt Lake City, Utah
From the article: "Arnold's
mixed-media paintings-early Hockney-esque musings on urban landscapes---blend
bark, asphalt, sky, hydrants, drains, cars, jets and more into abstraction that
make one believe she has been truly blessed with the chance to once again see
with the simplicity of a child, while retaining her adept painting
skills.
"Each painting wraps itself
around the viewer's psyche, teasing the eye with bits of the recognizable while
remaining reductive. They are wonderful."

Feature Articles in 15 Bytes magazine
"Jean Arnold Is Up to Something," review by John Erickson, 15 Bytes on-line magazine, September 2002, p. 1
From the article:
"Arnold's images come from the urban landscape. She improvises from nature and freely reorganizes
space. . . An unexpected surreal dimensionality begins to live its own rambunctious life. Bee-bop-
like rather than impressionistic, Arnold's paintings "get the job done" with a surprising pictorial rightness. Deceivingly simple and elegant, this hard won language has been fought for. Resolute
observations mixed with imaginative freedom are her trademark. Jean Arnold is "up to something.' "

Review of Finch Lane
Gallery Exhibit, June-July 2002
"3 Artists
Share Similarities,"review by Dave Gagon
of The Deseret News, July 7, 2002, p. E2, Salt Lake City, Utah.
Gagon says this about Jean's work: "While Arnold's oils are
diminutive in size, their presence is deceptively large...a result of the
artist's bold forms and thick paint. But it is her watercolors that impress
through contrast: opaque vs. transparent, light vs. dark, soft vs. hard. Her
"Foyer View, Winter: 3" (watercolor on paper, 11 by 15 inches) is a good
example of what she is capable of producing."
