A High Desert Tribute Exhibition
Sidne Teske said, “Landscapes fascinate me.” In A High Desert Tribute exhibition for the Capital City Arts Initiative, Teske presents paintings of dynamic landscapes and another series of compelling figure studies.
The free exhibit is open to the public January 3 — April 13, 2023, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 7 p.m., in Western Nevada College’s Bristlecone Gallery, 2201 West College Parkway, Carson City. Join CCAI for the opening reception, Tuesday, January 24, 5:00 p.m. – 6:30 p.m with the artist introduction at 5:30 p.m.
Thirty-six paintings offer a retrospective of Teske art from 1995 – 2022. Working almost exclusively in soft pastels, she takes the scale of her landscapes and figure studies well-past traditional small compositions into large works that measure in square feet. Her active mark-making brings viewers into each composition while the dramatic large scale commands attention.
