The Northwest Arts Center presents ‘Father & Son: The Beast Within Us,’ an exhibition by North Dakota artists Paul and Dakota Noot, on view in the Northwest Arts Center’s Walter Piehl Gallery from November 18 to December 16.

Paul Noot grew up near Valley City and Marion, North Dakota. He received his BFA from the University of North Dakota and earned his MFA from Brooklyn College in New York. His latest works touch on themes of the human spirit, wildlife and the North Dakota landscape. Paul says that his artwork is “always rooted in North Dakota with contemporary tendencies.”

Dakota Noot graduated with a BFA in Visual Arts from the University of North Dakota and an MFA from Claremont Graduate University. Dakota, originally from Bismarck, North Dakota, currently resides in Los Angeles, though his home state is a constant source of inspiration. Farm animals, pets, and insects are often Dakota’s subject matter.

The exhibition by the father and son duo explores human and animal relations in a kaleidoscope of color. Rich textures and bright colors aid in the nearly sci-fi, dreamlike presence the combined artworks bring. ‘Father & Son: The Beast Within Us’ provides opportunity for viewers to ponder their own relationships with the natural world, animals that they come in contact with and the beast within themselves.

An opening reception with the artists is scheduled Thursday, November 18 from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. Both exhibition and reception are free and open to the public. Masks are not required, but individuals who are not fully vaccinated or deemed vulnerable are encouraged to continue to wear masks.

The Walter Piehl Gallery is located in the Northwest Arts Center on the lower level of the Gordon B. Olson Library, with its own entrance on the south side of the library.

This project is made possible by the North Dakota Art Gallery Association and is supported in part by a grant from the North Dakota Council on the Arts, which receives funding from the state legislature and the National Endowment for the Arts.
