Artist Gilmore Scott
The George S. & Dolores Doré Eccles Art Gallery was
recently host to a gallery reception for Navajo artist Gilmore Scott’s “Sky
Dazzlers” exhibition. Scott’s “strong, bold and simple” paintings are
interpretations of how he views his Dine (Navajo) heritage. His paintings
feature high southwest desert landscapes, traditional baskets and traditional
homes. He also incorporates geometric designs for which Dine rug
weavers are known. Scott’s works will be on display through Dec. 14 at the Eccles Gallery, located in Salt Lake Community College’s Center for Arts and Media at
South City Campus, 1575 S. State Street, Salt Lake City.
In conjunction with Scott’s exhibition on Nov. 29, at 3 p.m.
in the Center for Arts and Media’s Screening Room, Anthony Guzman, former
Executive Director of the Urban Indian Center,
will speak about Native representation in art and public spaces. This event,
part of SLCC’s
Gallery Programs, is free and open to the public.
