Art, in whatever form or genre is meant to be appreciated and it always has a universal appeal. It is the expression of an artist’s view of life. It is meant to show an artist’s take on a particular scene, situation or emotion. Mormon art, while it may be an expression of artists of a particular religious belief, contains a universality which cannot be ignored. This is best exemplified by the portfolio included in LDS paintings at Zion’s Mercantile Co.
Zion’s Mercantile Co is a quaint store that sells an amazing variety of Mormon art, books and Pioneer memorabilia. Their portfolio of paintings include such subjects as sunsets at Nauvoo, the popular Salt Lake City Temple and, of course, Jesus Christ. Their collection of paintings represents the best of Latter Day Saints art and artistry. Some of the wonderful artists whose art this quaint store showcases are Julie Rogers, Annie Henrie, Sandra Rast, Robert Boyd, J.Kirk Richards, Cary Henrie and Dan Mortensen. They also hold art exhibits from time to time where artists can share their work and allow aficionados to see how the artists work throughout the day. Various artists’ renditions of Salt Lake City’s famous temple are certainly worth the effort to come and visit the store to have a look-see at the Zion’s collection. The sense of serenity that their renditions exude can bring peace to any restless soul. Even if you do not belong to the Church of the Latter Day Saints, one would be hard-put to not appreciate the paintings of Jesus Christ in their selection.
Searching for a unique gift idea? Zion’s Mercantile might just have one for you. Their inventory includes not just art, but Pioneer memorabilia ranging from knives to jewelry. Of course, books will always be a great gift idea for any occasion and Zion’s has quite a collection that can tickle anyone’s fancy. Their collection of Pioneer memorabilia presents a varied array of objects that the pioneers who went before us used in their daily existence and one cannot help but be in awe of what they had to go through to establish our great nation.
