Bill Carman’s work straddles the line between narrative and surreal, often finding comfort in a strange middle ground consisting of humanized animals, dreamy gradients, and wonderland peculiarities. A trained artist having earned an MFA in fine arts at Brigham Young University, Carman has since achieved success with his pop surreal illustrations. His list of clients include Macmillan Publishing, Random House, LucasArts, and the children’s book, “What’s That Noise?” He currently teaches art at Boise State University.

Gallery Nucleus presents new work by Justin Gerard.  This solo collection reinterprets J.R.R. Tolkien’s literary collection, The Silmarillion. Published posthumously by Tolkien’s son, The Silmarillion chronicles the creation and history of the acclaimed author’s world as well as the events leading up to The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.

Gerard has meticulously surveyed and selected integral moments within the saga and captures the events through watercolors and drawings.  The result is an expansive exhibit, documenting scenes from the beginning of time to the departure of the Elves from Middle-Earth.
