Gallery Explosé

Gallery Explosé We’re a pop-up art gallery in Southeastern Idaho featuring contemporary art, music and workshops.

Meet Cory Kerr, a professor at BYU–Idaho, illustrator, and creator of the web comic Rage of Enlightenment. His work combines intricate ink illustration with sharp storytelling, creating images that reward a closer look.

Whether he’s building the world of his comic (https://corykerr.com/comic) or crafting detailed standalone illustrations, Cory’s work is thoughtful, imaginative, and unmistakably his own. If you’re drawn to bold line work, intricate details, and art with something to say, you’ll want to spend some time with his pieces.

We’re excited to welcome Cory to Gallery Explosé for the first time this year. Stop by, say hello, and see his work in person on August 6 at the Downtown Event Center during the Idaho Falls Art Walk.

Meet another incredible artist joining us at Gallery Explosé, Donella!

Many people in our community know Donella for her incredible voice, but music is only one part of her creativity. This year she will be sharing her visual art with us, featuring beautiful handcrafted wind chimes and a collection of linocut prints.

It’s always exciting to see artists express themselves through different mediums, and Donella’s work is a great reminder that creativity doesn’t have to stay in one lane.

Come experience her work, meet the artist, and discover another side of her talent on August 6 at the Downtown Event Center from 6:00 to 10:00 PM. Admission is free.

Artist Spotlight!

We’re thrilled to welcome back Mike Cherniske, our biggest-selling artist from last year’s Gallery Explosé!

Mike returns with another multimedia extravaganza that blurs the line between illustration and fine art, sculpture and painting. His work is imaginative, immersive, and always full of unexpected details that reward a closer look.

Beyond being an incredibly talented artist, Mike is one of those people who never stops pushing his craft. He’s constantly experimenting, evolving, and finding new ways to connect with viewers on a deeper level through his art.

And if you’ve ever met Mike, you know he’s just an all-around great guy and an absolute joy to talk with. Be sure to stop by, see what he’s created this year, and say hello.
