Claggett/Rey Gallery is proud to debut new landscapes by acclaimed painter, Lanny Grant, alongside masterfully crafted wearable art by Bo Joe.
Bo Joe
Bo Joe is renowned for his mastery of precious metals and gemstones, notably turquoise, with creations that come in the form of little, hand sculptures. Using traditional tufa casting, Bo draws upon his Diné and Ute descent. Growing up in a family that celebrated the arts, Bo landed on jewelry as his expression of choice following a successful career in music. Bo’s work has transcended into individual works of fine art — sculpture made to be worn. A oneness with his materials and observance of cultural tradition has led Bo to create masterworks in metal and stone.
Lanny Grant
Raised on a ranch near Silt, this Colorado-native developed a deep relationship with the mountains. During family fishing trips, Lanny spent more time exploring the woods than trying to snag fish. Inspired by the vistas that make Lanny pause on a walk or drive, he is known to pull out a canvas and his paints to recreate the scene on the spot. Smaller works allow him to finish paintings on site, while his larger works are completed in his studio based on numbers of sketches and oil color studies. Lanny’s work sparks viewers’ imaginations by transporting them into remote regions they might not otherwise experience.
