View Kim English Video

A few months ago we started a dialogue about a series on videos interviewing the Saks Galleries artists. We got a little curious about how our artists viewed life. Thus the whole living artfully transpired. We learned a lot, in fact, video taping our artists has proven inspiring and noteworthy. Click on our You Tube button on our home page menu to view all of the videos produced this year. We learned how the artists see themselves, childhood insights, who encouraged them and what triggers their passion to paint or sculpt.

The life of an artist is challenging, focused, uplifting. It's a life - living artfully.

Enjoy this exclusive and intimate video of master painter Kim English as he discusses how he observes the world around him and what his favorite place in the world to paint is.

Kim English's solo exhibition "Observations" opens this evening at 5:00pm here at Saks

Galleries in Cherry Creek Denver, Colorado through June 18, 2011. You can view the entire exhibition on our website.

KIM ENGLISH "Observations" Reception Friday, May 20, 2011

"Memories" 9 x 17 oil

Both in his own life and on the canvas, Kim English combines
technical bravura with careful observations. What he brings to our attention are magical moments – such as walking through an arched passageway
wondering what might be on the far side – not the far side itself
but those moments of anticipation just before. These are visual observations beyond words.

- Mikkel Saks

"Through the Village Walls" 24 x 26 oil

A Fascinating Look at the Art of a Young Surrealist

Andrea T. Kemp

Reception and Demonstration

Saturday, May 14, 2011

12:00 - 3:00 pm

Please join us in celebrating the art of Andrea T. Kemp at Saks Galleries on Saturday afternoon. Andrea will be at the gallery to meet patrons and demonstrate her unique perspective on surrealist imagery.

Andrea says of art..."You can create powerful images by focusing on the ordinary because you are forced to look at the abstraction of forms." Andrea's work depicts mystery and surrealism which offer people to dig below the surface and find more than a first or second glance. Her paintings are an experience.
