Take a
walk,
see the world in art
By ADAM

It’s
time to trade in the hiking shoes for some slightly finer walking shoes,
as Friday marks the August Gallery Walk in Ketchum. Galleries around
town will have their doors open, artists in attendance and their newest
art on display from 6 to 9 p.m.
Whether
your interests lie with Western art, or photography, or more abstract
painting, there will be art to please just about everyone. Gail Severn
Gallery has painted glass sculpture by Therman Statom, while Kneeland
Gallery up the street will display the work of several artists
participating in Kneeland’s annual plein air event held this week.
Anne Reed Gallery is putting on a group show of works inspired by the
written word. In a similar vein, Larry Fodor’s work, at Friesen
Gallery, is often likened to a literary form: Haiku. His elegant and
sparse paintings hold moments in time. Marlies Stroes von Thun, who
shows at Gallery Oscar, takes a different approach, employing bold and
colorful oils on canvas.
But this
is just scratching the surface of mediums and styles on display Friday.
Thirty-three galleries will be offering art, some fine hors d’oeuvres
and lively conversation. What more could you ask for?
The
following galleries are members of the Sun Valley Gallery Association:
ANAM CARA

GALLERY

"A Given
Moment." Larry Fodor paints with the ability to recognize a moment

to explore the depths of self.
