Telluride Arts’ new space will feature rotating contemporary art exhibitions and provide a platform for artists to showcase new bodies of work. With the additional venue, Telluride Arts is seeking gallery docents! If interested, please sign up online at telluridearts.org/volunteers or email austin@telluridearts.org.

Telluride Arts HQ Gallery West will open this Thursday, February 2, for Art Walk and feature work by regional artist Tammi Brazee. She will be showcasing her series, “Human/Nature,” for the kickoff.

The “Human/Nature” series began as a mashup of animal and human behavior, an exploration of mate-seeking and the power of pheromones, visual cues, adornment, competition, attraction, and ritual. The work includes four very large, sensual women to whom Tammi gave complete control over their own bodies and sexuality by making their canvases much larger than the others. Their titles give them absolute authority to select partners they want to share themselves with.

While “Human/Nature” is humorous on the surface, the topic of human sexuality is a complex and, at times, emotionally loaded.

Tammi Brazee, more:

Colorado has been Tammi Brazee’s home for over two decades. The professional artist and science geek holds two graduate degrees: environmental science and visual arts. This unusual combination of interests has had a profound influence on Tammi’s work, keeping it suspended somewhere between the real world and imaginary narratives.
