Art Exhibitions by Steve Creson and Rob Chipman

Steve Creson – Repetition and Differences

Steve Creson’s Repetition and Difference utilizes photographic prints hand-cut as collage, acrylic paints and selected Japanese papers, making two dimensional structures, architectural realities, that test one’s imagination and conventional way of seeing and looking.

Steve Creson is a multimedia visual artist, writer, photographer, 16 mm filmmaker and performance artist. He studied poetry and book arts at The Naropa University in Boulder, CO and received a BS in Typography & Design at Rochester Institute of Technology, Rochester, NY. Steve is a Seattle native but has lived in Salt Lake City for 18 years. He has shown work and performed in both the US & Europe.

Rob Chipman – Simplicity on the Other Side of Complexity

Rob Chipman’s Simplicity on the Other Side of Complexity features original reduction linocut prints of landscapes. The process of carving and printing consecutive colors from the same linoleum block, on top of each previous printed layer, is a painstaking and time-consuming printmaking method that requires both right- and left-brain thinking.

While Rob Chipman has been dabbling with block prints since a high school art class, he has only been creating them in earnest for the last five years. Although a late bloomer as an artist, his award-winning work has been exhibited in many juried solo and group shows throughout Utah and the US, as well as several local galleries.

The Finch Lane Gallery is a program of the Salt Lake City Arts Council.
