Governors Art Show, Loveland, Colorado, May 11-June 9, 2024.
The Colorado Governor's Art Show & Sale has revealed Clyde Aspevig will be honored as the Legacy Artist during the 33rd annual exhibit. This distinction is given to artists who have participated in past years of the Colorado Governor's Art Show & Sale and have been strong advocates for the arts. Aspevig, a longtime Loveland resident who relocated to Montana, is one of 61 Colorado artists selected to participate in this year’s show. The exhibit will be held at the Loveland Museum, Colorado from Saturday, May 11 through Sunday, June 9, 2024 with fine art sales available in-person and online.
The Governor’s Art Show includes sculpture, mixed media, oil, pastel, watercolor, and acrylic paintings from participating artists. Nineteen new artists will join the show this year, and several artists have returned after numerous years.The majority of the artwork in this year's show is one-of-a-kind and will be available for purchase throughout the run of the Governor's Art Show & Sale both online and in-person from Saturday, May 11 through Sunday, June 9, 2024. Experience the show in person at the Loveland Museum, 503 North Lincoln Avenue, or online at GovernorsArtShow.org. ----- Aspevig’s paintings of the West are not theatrical sets intended to reinforce regional mythology, but rather evocations of places that he perceives as already disappearing during his own lifetime, subjects worthy of both artistic and societal preservation. The paintings reflect his intense days of absorbing his natural surroundings, days which shaped a philosophy where he explains he sees, "nature as being so much more powerful than we realize." In the last three decades, Aspevig’s painting has been inspired by travel along with his artist wife, Carol Guzman. While landscape painting has been his focus in his 48 years of making his living as an artist, he also enjoys exploring more non-objective styles as well. |
