23 Jun Telluride Gallery of Fine Art's Michelle Curry Wright poster artist for Wine Fest
[click “Play” to hear Michelle Curry Wright talk about her Wine Festival poster]
Michelle Curry Wright is one of the faces regulars see when they visit the Telluride Gallery of Fine Art. She has worked at the gallery for six of the 25 years the must-visit art emporium has been in business. But what you see at the front desk is not all that you get.
Michelle Curry Wright is also a fine artist in the Telluride Gallery of Fine Art’s stable and this year, the poster artist for the 29th annual Telluride Wine Festival. The original mixed media painting for the Festival poster is on display throughout the weekend at the Gallery, 130 East Colorado Avenue, open for bids through a silent auction. (Some of the proceeds from the sale go the the Tellluride Wine Fest.) Michelle signs poster, $25 each, during Friday’s Toast of Telluride, 4 – 6 p.m.
Michelle Curry Wright’s work is instantly recognizable. As a painter, she relies on a very personal and cryptic symbolic language used in combination with familiar objects such as, in this case, a wine bottle and the words “In Vino Veritas.”
