In her current spirited solo exhibition at Robischon Gallery, 𝐴𝑛𝑑 𝑎𝑙𝑙 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑚𝑒𝑎𝑑𝑜𝑤𝑠 𝑤𝑖𝑑𝑒, Colorado artist Kim Dickey explores the intricacies and intimacies of her vessel and heraldic wall forms through the metaphor of the garden - and its shifting boundary between the real and the ideal. Widely recognized for her ongoing, and previously exhibited, varied sculpture series of large scale vessels and assembled ceramic constructions featuring repeating leaf-like forms, Dickey continues her investigation of historically inspired design concepts through a contemporary lens.

In these more intimate works, landscapes become stage-like spaces where blossoms, playful creatures, and hand-built vessels consider relationships between nature and culture, interior and exterior, and humanity’s imprint upon the land—even in its absence. Rich glazes, furrowed surfaces, and imaginative patterned forms evoke cycles of cultivation and renewal, offering reflections on connection, landscape, and the quiet promise of spring.

Surveying dynamic landscapes through his artful aerial photography, the compelling work of Robischon artist David Maisel reveals profound truths. Participating in four current summer museum exhibitions taking place from coast to coast, Maisel's thought-provoking perspective visually questions the volatile relationship between human-caused and naturally occurring topological formations, with a primary regional focus on western-US landscapes.

In order of images shown above, the museum exhibitions including Maisel's work are: “From Here to the Horizon,” at the California Museum of Photography, Through August 9th, “Beneath the Surface: Mining & American Photography,” at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., through August 23rd, “Altered Lands in the Anthropocene: Into the Time Horizon,” at Nevada Museum of Art, through September 20th, and “What We’ve Been up to: People,” at the Denver Art Museum through September 29th.

Internationally recognized Robischon Gallery artist Halim Al Karim was recently on view in Beijing, China as part of Glasstress, an expansive exhibition exploring the multifaceted possibilities of glass in contemporary art. Initiated by Berengo Studio in Venice in 2009 as a tandem event of the prestigious Venice Biennale, Glasstress has evolved into a vital international platform where glass and contemporary art converge, bringing together some of the world’s most celebrated artists and master glassmakers. This past 2026 presentation, alongside Al Karim, included such art world luminaries as: Tony Cragg, Mimmo Paladino, Cornelia Parker, Polly Apfelbaum, and Erwin Wurm, Tony Oursler, Qiu Zhijie, and Vik Muniz. Of note, within the Venice Biennale history, Halim Al Karim was selected to represent Iraq, post exile, in the 2011 reintegrated Iraq Pavilion at the 54th Biennale.

Working across many disciplines such as photography, painting, textile, and sculpture, Al Karim is most widely recognized for his innovative, blurred and veiled portraits - imagery exploring meditations on self-identity, power, war, dreams, memory and most importantly to the artist, the sacred. His experimentation over the decades with layered pigmented / photographic processes and exceptionally large collodion photographs - as well as his use of a wide range of sculptural materials, Al Karim is recognized for pushing the limits of both scale and material, as he continues to expand his soulfully expressive visual language in myriad ways.

“There are endless yards of tulle — shaped into small mountains, draped over walls, contained into geometric color fields, tufted into puffs and sent flowing from the walls as if they were waterfalls gushing luscious pink and blue flows of faux liquid that end in puddles on the gallery floors...To have such a precious fabric in such abundance helps Hernando show viewers the world as she sees it. That view is rooted in Andean traditions that hold a belief that natural formations such as mountains and waterfalls ‘are living, divine beings containing both masculine and feminine energies.’”
- Ray Rinaldi

Currently on view at Robischon Gallery, is an expansive solo exhibition by treasured Colorado filmmaker, Stacey Steers. Centered around her latest handmade 22-minute animated work, 𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝑆𝑡𝑎𝑟𝑠 𝑊𝑎𝑡𝑐ℎ 𝐹𝑟𝑜𝑚 𝐿𝑜𝑛𝑔 𝐴𝑔𝑜, the exhibit includes mesmerizing video objects, hand colored collage stills and filmic print images. Steers’ latest award winning film, featuring an Oz-like farmhouse floating and spinning through space, reimagines iconic silent film actresses Lilian Gish, Janet Gaynor, and 1960’s Spanish actress, Ana Torrent, seamlessly recast into Steers’ unparalleled, poetic, collaged animation. Known for her sensitive, highly complex, storylines set in the black of night, Steers’ latest series offers a profound meditation on longing, loss, and wonder, while capturing a timeless connection between the historical and contemporary cultural concerns.

Wednesday, May 6th, Steers treated a receptive audience to an insightful artist talk at Robischon Gallery, addressing her film and literary influences, creative practice, and her experiences embracing both change and challenge in the film-making process.

On view alongside 𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝑆𝑡𝑎𝑟𝑠 𝑊𝑎𝑡𝑐ℎ 𝐹𝑟𝑜𝑚 𝐿𝑜𝑛𝑔 𝐴𝑔𝑜 are two standout solo exhibitions by exemplary Robischon artists Kahn+Selesnick, with 𝐷𝑎𝑟𝑘 𝑀𝑎𝑡𝑡𝑒𝑟, and Kim Dickey, presenting 𝐴𝑛𝑑 𝑎𝑙𝑙 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑚𝑒𝑎𝑑𝑜𝑤𝑠 𝑤𝑖𝑑𝑒. All three magnificent and surreal exhibitions are on view now through May 30th.
