Paco Pomet At Robischon Gallery’s 45+ PART I
Denver, Colorado based Robischon Gallery are currently celebrating their 45th anniversary with a series of exhibitions, starting with 45+ PART I, open until 28th January 2023.
“On the auspicious occasion marking over forty-five years as a contemporary art venue in Colorado, Robischon Gallery is pleased to present “45 +,” an anniversary exhibition series beginning with “PART I” in November of 2022, followed by “PART II,” opening in February of 2023. The distinctive tandem presentations offer a unique glimpse into the broader spectrum of numerous noteworthy Robischon Gallery exhibitions. While touching upon a specific selection of the gallery’s far-reaching dialogues within art, the series symbolically features new and memorable archived artworks by several gallery artists in celebration of all of the exemplary artists the gallery has presented over its many decades-long presence in Colorado. “PART I” highlights the following twenty-nine regional, national, and internationally recognised artists in a blend of tangential or thematic modes of cross-cultural/political histories, symbiotic human relationships with Nature in form or narrative, as well as an exaltation of Nature’s beauty and issues of environmentalism.”
Paco Pomet, whose previous solo shows with the gallery include the superb New Work and Endings, has 2 works included in the exhibition - The Mission (2013) and The Preachers (2018).

In the exhibition notes, Pomet states:
“Viewers encounter the subject of a painting and make their own decisions in the ways to experience it. I think a good painting can sometimes work as a mirror and possesses the ability to return the viewer to the reflection of his own fears and desires. The past is full of hints that can unveil the present. I have always thought that subjects and themes remain the same over centuries, and that human pursuits, aspirations and chimeras are cyclical.”
