25 Years of Lance Green (Figuratively Speaking)

Lance Green, one of Translations Gallery's newer artists, currently has a retrospective exhibition showcasing 25 years of his paintings, drawings and sculpture on display in Manitou Springs. The show celebrates Green's artistic evolution, beginning with his childhood in Los Angeles and traveling through his life as an artist, ending up at his current life and work in Colorado. To complement the show, Green will also be giving an art talk at the Business of Art Center's Venue 515 on May 11. The show, titled Bringing it All Back Home runs through mid-June, and leads right into Translations Gallery's upcoming show Figuratively Speaking, which will also feature work by Green as well as other artists represented by the gallery.

Figuratively Speaking will, as the show's title suggests, focus on sculptural pieces, paintings and other media with an emphasis on figure and form - one of the cornerstones of Green's work, which often reinterprets images taken from painful stages of life as new and beautiful objects.
