 The Edge of the Image
Through October 9
Mandala Gallery
1701 Blanco Road
"The Edge of the Image" offers a view of human relations with one another and with our planet that is both intimate and very wide. Altug Icilensu uses his sharp eyesight to capture Texas and other parts of the United States as they have not quite been seen before. Using reflections in water and window glass, Dianne Monroe's images travel to that magic place where reality and imagination meet and transform themselves into each other. They offer a glimpse into the complexity and multi-layered reality of the things we see, and do not see in our daily lives, along with an invitation to reclaim the sense of wonder about our world. www.mandala-online.com |

Convention helped put Denver on the art world's radar
Denver Post (08/29/08)
Kyle MacMillan
"Amid the flurry of politicking, partying and celebrity gawking that took place during the Democratic National Convention, many of the accompanying cultural offerings were easily overlooked. That's too bad, especially when it came to the visual arts. There was a bevy of exhibits and events, and most of them were hip and sophisticated, giving Denver an unexpected New York vibe."
