Gallery Reception: Lauren + Richard Eisen

September 12 @ 5:00 pm

Gunnison Sunset

As the leaves in Crested Butte decay around us, Lauren and Richard Eisen bring the natural forces of nature to the walls of the KPG. Richard Eisen, a photographer, uses a photographic image construction that represents the rebirth from decay; a chance to redirect from the object’s identity to the possibility that what we are looking at can be seen as either a microcosm or a macro landscape viewed from above. Lauren Eisen, a graphite and pencil artist, focuses on memory and place, exploring the relationships between landscape, architecture, agriculture, horticulture and other aspects of industry that affect native plant and animal life. Join us to celebrate Lauren and Richard Eisen’s Gallery Closing, featuring complimentary drinks and a chance to mingle with the Artists.

Gunnison Valley is also host to several beloved annual events. A classic winter event is The Alley Loop, a Nordic ski race that doubles as a costume contest. In fall, Mt.
