Robert Fontenot: The Place This IsRobert Fontenot recreated John Wilkes Booth's last words in millenary flowers.
I found myself laughing out loud walking around the Salt Lake Art Center gallery, not at the art, but with it.
Robert Fontenot’s exhibition, The Place This Is, addresses notions of place, history and perception in this mixed media exhibition that includes bread dough renderings of over 100 iconic Utah landmarks and icons; watercolor portraits of Utah politicians and culturati; and text pieces from voices in American history. Fontenot’s beautifully crafted artworks fuse beauty and cynicism to question how and what becomes memorialized to hold a place culture and history.
