  • “The Art of Yoga” Monday, February 8, at 9 am

We are pleased to announce that Gallery MAR, in association with Lululemon, will present a morning yoga practice in the gallery. Lauren Lockey is the featured instructor, a Park City favorite. Lockey’s love for dance was a natural fit with yoga. She studied Modern dance at the University of Utah and continued on in Portland, Oregon where she developed a regular Bikram Yoga practice. Lauren lived and taught yoga in Thailand for six months.

A Lululemon Truck Show will be in the gallery, accepting credit cards only.

Your donation for this class ($5 suggested) goes to benefit Direct Relief International. Local athlete Erin Hamlin, 2006 & 2010 Olympian and 2009 Luge World Champion, who has started this organization to send relief to Haiti, says, “as an athlete with an extensive and amazing support system, I know the generosity many people possess. Now is a great time to show the world. Spread the word, spread the love, save a country!” Already a struggling nation, Haiti has been more than devastated by the recent destruction caused by the catastrophic earthquake on January 12th. As relief efforts continue, many vital supplies are running out as more and more lives need to be saved and rebuilt. Please help give them hope with a donation of any amount.

  • “Odd Nostalgia,” New Works by Fred Calleri, February

New works by figurative artist Fred Calleri—Friday, February 26th, 2010 at 6 pm

Fred Calleri was born in Maryland and moved to the West in 2001. Fred has been interested in art throughout his life and was influenced at an early age by the Renaissance painters and the Masters of the early 20th century. Ironically, Fred took one painting class in college (the smell of turpentine made him ill) and only became seriously interested in professionally painting after the birth of his son in 1997. By studying artists such as Zorn, Sargent, Vermeer, Sorolla and many others as well as living masters today, Calleri aims to reproduce classic and romantic images using the master’s palette and mood to create an emotional reaction.

While exploring the figure and representational painting in general, Calleri found by adding a slight distortion he was free to let the image take him where it wanted to go. By distorting the image the bonds of reality and style become less commanding and the piece develops a whimsical style of its own. Calleri feels especially compelled to paint the most classical of artistic subjects, the human figure, but his body of work also includes landscapes and still life—whatever subjects manage to capture his interest as he continually searches the world around him for reasons to record an image with the brush.
