Artist Reception: Gary Cunningham and Jake Mosher

Gary Cunningham’s “”Fish and Cows,” and photographer Jake Mosher’s “”Big Sky Nights” are on display. Cunningham’s exhibit features paintings of fish and cattle, animals that are an important part of our economy and that represent Montana in the minds of many. His purposefully simplified and stylized art allows him to play with the basic shapes and colors, presenting them in a more whimsical way.Mosher’s "Big Sky Nights," exhibit features photographs of Montana between sunrise and sunset. From a tent beneath the Milky Way, to sweeping panoramas of the Lee Metcalf Wilderness in the middle of the night, to star trails spinning above prairie homesteads, these pictures show the beauty of an often-unseen time of day. By using a camera's sensor to capture the stars, often over hours of exposure, colors of the stars impossible to see with our naked eyes are revealed.
