Mark Brasuell + Women's Reproductive Rights Exhibition
Friday, August 22, 2025, 1800 - 2100
Mark Brasuell: One Track Mind
One Track Mind is a bold and visceral new solo exhibition by longtime Denver artist and educator Mark Brasuell. This dynamic collection explores the power of obsession, the body, and color as driving forces behind the act of creation.
At the heart of One Track Mind is a profound investigation into the figurative form-not as a destination, but as a departure point. Brasuell uses the shapes and gestures of the body as the catalyst for sweeping, large-scale abstract paintings. Through this approach, the physical figure dissolves into a terrain of vibrant color, gesture, and emotional resonance.
Color takes center stage in this exhibition-not simply as decoration, but as language. Brasuell's use of color is raw, expressive, and often deliberately crude in its juxtapositions. Through this bold palette, he explores the emotional and psychological impact of hue, saturation, and layering. Each painting radiates its own energy, evoking sensation as much as interpretation.
The show's title, One Track Mind, refers to the idea that even a single, recurring thought-an image, a memory, a fixation-can launch a series of works that touch something deeper within us. Brasuell examines how our personal obsessions as artists and people often lead to the most meaningful creative breakthroughs.
Don't Beat Around the Bush: A Women's Reproductive Rights Exhibition
Conceived by Lisa Korte
After the Supreme Court's ruling overturning Roe v. Wade, Lisa Korte felt compelled to engage a group of artists to share outrage through artistic expression. Since the ruling, 12 states have made abortion illegal impacting the level of healthcare provided to women and women's reproductive freedom.
Featuring 12 artists in a variety of mediums, from painting to sculpture to video, this show will highlight the injustice of denying women their basic rights to have domain over their own bodies. Viewers can expect to be enlightened as well as shocked by the work created by:
Colby Parker Beutel, Christine Rose Curry, Bethany Economos, Tory Harris, Heather Hauptman, Alane Holsteen, Sarah-Lou Klein, Lisa Korte, Wynne Reynolds, Claire Stufflebeam, Janine Thornton, Dara Weyna.
Patrons are asked to make donations to organizations supporting a woman's right to choose. A portion of all sales will be donated to non-profits supporting reproductive rights for women.
EDGE Gallery 6501 W. Colfax Ave, Lakewood, CO 80214
Gallery Hours: Friday: 6-9pm Saturday and Sunday: 12-5pm
