Randall Lake: Primordial Scuffle
Randall Lake’s upcoming one-man show “Paris Rock n’ Roll” will showcase new paintings from his recent two-month stay in Paris.
Since his return, Lake has been working in his studio, experimenting with techniques he saw in Paris museums—cloisonism, the cross-hatching of parallel brush strokes (Paul Cezanne and Emile Bernard); and painting on paper mounted to linen (Toulouse-Lautrec, Emile Bernard). “I hope these works will give as much pleasure to those who see them as I had in painting them,” says Lake.
The show also will feature other works—interiors, still life, landscapes and cityscapes of Utah, and Southern California.
In addition to the show, Lake is celebrating his 40th anniversary in the Guthrie Building. Built in 1891, in the Richardson Romanesque architectural style, the Guthrie has provided studio space for Salt Lake City artists for decades. “This studio has been a staple in my career and in my art,” says Lake. “It continues to play a pivotal role in my creations.”
