Utah artist Kipp Howard is hosting a public exhibition of his work at a residence in La Verkin, featuring 18 large-scale canvases created entirely with ballpoint pen. The show represents the culmination of 14 years of private work and includes hundreds of additional pieces spanning various media such as digital art, acrylics, and watercolors.
This local showcase highlights the persistence of outsider and community-based art practices, specifically challenging traditional academic notions of what constitutes a legitimate artistic medium. By transforming a garage space into a gallery, Howard emphasizes the accessibility of art-making and the personal, meditative value of creativity over institutional validation.
