 t_by_Phil_Lear_and_Davoth_at_The_Modbo_and_SPQR\nEvent Date Begin: 2011-10
 -14\nEvent Date End: 2011-11-04\n\nIn The Modbo\, look for new works by De
 nver artist Davoth\, while you can find the latest pieces by local favorit
 e and Modbo Collective artist Phil Lear over at S.P.Q.R.  \n\nThe opening 
 reception will feature music by both beloved local band Dear Rabbit and th
 e Denver-based free jazz ensemble\, The Bottesini Project\, comprised of  
 Paul Riola on saxophones\, Danny Meyer on tenor saxophone and clarinet\, G
 len Whitehead on trumpet\, Kim Stone on bass\, and Jay Ellis on drums.\n\n
 Phil Lear graduated from Pensacola Christian College's Commercial Art prog
 ram in 1997\, where he studied for four years under established illustrato
 rs and designers.  It was during this time that he began to realize a pass
 ion for painting and for expressing the beauty he saw all around.  Persona
 l study and a deep love for the art of the Renaissance and late-Victorian 
 eras increased both his knowledge of painterly innovation and his fast-gro
 wing desire to become an artist himself.\n\nAfter illustrating for mission
 aries in Switzerland in 1999\, Phil returned to the United States and bega
 n taking steps towards entering the professional world of painters.  He be
 came a charter member of the Portrait Society of America\, and has display
 ed work in several public exhibitions and competitions.  Phil now furthers
  his study and artistic journey in the company of a group of young artists
  known as The Modbo Collective\, at The Modbo and S.P.Q.R. Galleries in Co
 lorado Springs\, CO.  He also shows at Mountain Living Studios in Manitou 
 Springs\, CO.  In 2010\, the Colorado Springs Gazette awarded him the Gold
  Medal for Best Art Exhibition of the year.\n\nPhil Lear has always strive
 d to bring an emotional charge to his work\, a charge that he intends to h
 ave resonate with the viewer long after the initial viewing.  Murky grays\
 , browns\, and strokes of sky blue pile on the canvas to form a barrage of
  color that both intrigues and gratifies the eye in a fresh painterly real
 ism.  As a story-teller\, his canvases are peopled\, with a disparate\, ra
 gtag band of characters whose entrance on the scene can be at once inspiri
 ng and disquieting&mdash\;wild-eyed youth\, brooding poets\, defiant downt
 rodden martyrs\, spellbinding vixens\, and fallen angels\, tragic heroes a
 nd the criminally bent.  They are strangers\, but with a deep connection t
 o the distant song of reality and life.  &ldquo\;As a narrative figurative
  painter\, I feel a mission to create work that embodies the classical ide
 al\, and speaks to the universal and timeless aspects of the human experie
 nce.&rdquo\;  \n\nDavoth was born in Chicago\, grew up in Kansas\, and esc
 aped to Colorado Springs in 1996. He began making sculpture and eventually
  paintings as both a positive and negative response to a trip to Santa Fe\
 , NM. Davoth has kept his creative and aesthetic education to the very ind
 ividual and minimal so as to both control direction and also to limit infl
 uence from various schools of art theory and conserve originality. He now 
 resides in Denver\, CO.\n\nDavoth finds the world to be a chaotic\, yet in
 credibly beautiful place. In shunning his more natural sense for clarity a
 nd order and making the effort to notice his surroundings at each second\,
  Davoth is able to stay open to the new and the fresh\; it is then that he
  is most in awe of the world.  His work comes from a place of simple idea\
 , over which many changes occur organically.  The artist prides himself on
  avoiding academic aesthetic choices\, instead trusting his instincts to p
 roduce meaningful artistic compositions.\n\nStart time: Opening reception 
 is on Friday\, October 14th\, from 5:30 p.m. until late.
