Studio 333 Architects - During the June Art Stroll Studio 333 Architects will feature local artist, Robert Asay. A little bit about his artwork being showcased…

These pieces are part of an ongoing series of paintings I've been making since 2019, inspired by the mid-20th century minimalism movement. The paintings are of the same size, composed of repeating color schemes and simple hard-edge forms. Placed by each other, they develop a unique language. As the series gets bigger, the paintings build a more complex dialog. These paintings make for great accent pieces in clean, modern, interior spaces. If interested in this work and want to learn more about my art, please visit our gallery or contact me directly: at Asayartwork@gmail.com.

Robert Asay is a Studio Artist and Gallery Owner born in Utah and living in Ogden UT. He received his bachelor’s degree in fine art from the University of Utah in 2015. He and his wife Megan own and operate Ruby’s Relics Contemporary Art Gallery which opened in May, located just around the corner next to Brookey Bakes on Grant Ave and 25th Street. We host a new collection of artworks every month as well as sell Ruby’s Relics apparel, prints, and other fun limited novelties. Open Tuesday - Saturday. Social Media: @asayartwork & @rubyrelics

The human body has been one of the most common themes in art as early as human life began. From abstract figures to realistic portraiture, we use art to express our own identity. Who are we? How do we appear to the world? How do we want to be seen? This exhibit features art of human images from local artists Camela Corcoran, Lindsay Huss, and Faris Alalawi. These distinctive images tell us more about what it means to be a human in our world.
