New Work at Ironton Gallery with Sculptor John Ferguson
June 25, 2011
Ironton Gallery

There’s a good-looking pair of solos showcasing Colorado artists at Ironton:

On the walls are some great neo-abstract-expressionist paintings by Kowalski. Though she is little known in Denver, where she lives, Kowalski has exhibited nationally and, considering the high quality of these paintings, will hopefully do so around here as well. In these paintings, she experiments with different types of compositions; some feature all-over scribbles, while others combine color fields with slashing brushstrokes. A few even include lines and grids. Somehow they all work together seamlessly. Through June 25 at Ironton Gallery, 3636 Chestnut Place, www.irontonstudios.com.

When they had their first child, Chris and Sara Talsma lived in a loft—“and I mean a loft—there were no rooms,” says Chris, co-owner of Filoramo Talsma Architects and Ten Penny, a development/construction company. “We knew we wanted a second child and needed more space, but being in the business I’m in, it wasn’t going to be ‘Just go buy something.’” Instead, the then-32-year-old architect with a real-estate license and general contracting chops set out to build a house. It was 2005—before the great real-estate implosion—when Chris asked his wife, a human resources director for Holly Hunt, to scout the five cheapest single-family lots he could find within a couple of miles of the Loop. She was most taken with the one at the corner of Damen and Ohio. At 25 by 75 feet, it was small (average city lots are about 25 by 125 feet). But it felt right.     read the full article here

Art Works: Local Talent, National Attention

2 lbs Medjool dates
1 lb Spanish-style chorizo sausage
1 pkg (12 strips) good-quality bacon
2 jars piquillo peppers (most jars are around 7.6 ounces)
1 14.5-oz can good-quality tomatoes
Smoked paprika
Salt to taste

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Using a paring knife, make a small slit in each of the dates, then push out the pit.
3. Fill each date with chorizo, but not so much that the meat is overflowing.
4. Slice the bacon strips in half crosswise to create two pieces out of each strip. Wrap each date with one of the half-slice segments of bacon. Secure with a toothpick if necessary and remove before placing in serving dish. Place on a rimmed baking sheet and bake for about 40 minutes or until bacon is near crisp.
5. While the dates are baking, make the sauce. Add the peppers and the tomatoes together, salt and pepper to taste, just a pinch of smoked paprika which is strong. A little goes a long way way and it can over power. in a medium saucepan and cook slowly over medium-low heat for the entire time the dates bake. Season with salt to taste, then puree the sauce until almost smooth but still with some body; think thin salsa texture. (A handheld immersion blender works great, but a countertop blender is fine.)
6. In a dish that is ovenproof and swanky to serve from, add the sauce and arrange the dates, bake in oven to meld and warm and your ready to serve.
