LARRY WEIDEL
Lawrence (Larry) Weidel’s art is a sensory experience, evoking a wonderment akin to discovering treasure and jewels. His magnetic nature is forged into the brilliance of his pieces—the creative outlet providing a magic medium for his vision.
As a boy, he became enraptured by art museums and cultural events when living in New York City. His developing passion for art blossomed in his early teen years when his father was stationed in Tuscany, Italy—where Weidel was immersed in the Renaissance and the polymath approach to life.
As a modern-day polymath himself, he is not limited to art alone. He is also a successful business man, fine art photographer, best-selling author, and award-winning equestrian athlete—a true visionary with the “Midas touch.”
JASON MEHL
Jason Mehl is known for his sculptures and for being the designer of the world's largest neurodegenerative research award (The Rainwater Prize).
Informed by recurring patterns in nature, Mehl’s work is self-referential in that his sculptures are realized by reinterpreting an original form multiple times. Each iteration references the previous rather than pulling directly from the original inspiration, ultimately making the completed work a non-literal interpretation of an idea that has been reworked to the point of abstraction.
Mehl incorporates traditional sculpting methods and new technology, such as 3D scanning and printing, in his work. His process is one of continuous editing and recontextualizing of forms, layering various techniques and changing mediums to distill them down to their fundamental elements.
Also holding a degree in environmental science, Mehl often confronts the Anthropocene in his art. He has had numerous domestic and international solo exhibitions, been Artist in Residence at both Seoul Artspace (Mullae) in the Republic of Korea and at the Fairmont Hotel in Dallas, TX, where he later served as residency director. He’s originally from Dallas and has had studios in DFW, South Korea, Portland, OR and Aspen. He currently lives in Colorado.
