Art Works Gallery hosts Kent-Marvick exhibit “Forget-me-nots”
By Linda Kiley
An opening reception for artist Andrew Kent-Marvick will take place at Art Works Gallery Oct. 25 from 5 to 8 p.m. in Cedar City. The show, entitled “Forget-me-nots,” will feature a selection of new work by the artist. The exhibit will be on view until Nov. 22.
Andrew Kent-Marvick is an abstract painter and an art historian. In 2005 he returned to the western U.S. and settled in Cedar City as an art history professor at SUU. Kent-Marvick’s work falls into three separate periods: a traditional representational phase that lasted until 1989; a period (from 2004 to 2019) of abstract and non-representational modes of expression; and a new stage, which began in 2019, consisting of a new project fusing representational work with abstraction. He states he is at home in both genres.
“For me, painting is a natural and indispensable way of responding to life,” said Kent-Marvick. “I see the formal language of art as a universal one, independent of its content.”
