February 12 - March 19, 2010: The Feminine in Abstract Painting: New works by Cora Cohen, Melanie Parke, Kiki Slaughter, and Margie Stewart Although the "feminine" can no longer be defined as a strictly female trait, artwork is often seen as inherently feminine or masculine in nature. By delving into the oeuvres of four female abstract painters from different regions, backgrounds, and generations the notion of the "feminine" will be simultaneously challenged and embraced. By exploring the style and context of each artists' work in relation to qualities that are often associated with femininity (such as sensuality and sensitivity) the consideration of a "feminine" in abstract painting will manifest itself.

Sam Esmoer and Mike Egan Downstairs will showcase the "Filet of Soul", an enigmatic, allegorical, mysterious, myopic are some words that can be used to describe the paintings of Sam Esmoer. Touting his work as being" slightly twisted paintings of the southwest", they tell a story that is up to your imagination to complete. His twisted perspective and sloping architecture ensnare you into each painting. Upstairs we are happy to have our first solo show for Mike Egan whose bold graphic figures resonate with Albuquerque's love for all things Day of the Dead.. |

These chromatic paintings are thinly layered bands of color which illuminate the complex surfaces of the pigment on panel. As the viewer moves from side to side, color pulses in constantly shifting patterns.

Sep 3, 2010 Exhibit Taos, NM 133 Paseo del Pueblo Norte 575-758-2052 |
"Police Blotters & More" by oil painter Mark Asmus Each week, The Taos News publishes reports that come into Dispatch, some of which conjure up very funny visuals for Asmus' fertile and irreverent brain. Asmus embeds an enlarged version of the caption onto the surface and paints around it. For example, the painting here is titled: "Wait for me, Julia" and the caption reads: A driver was cited after "ripping down the runway" at Taos Regional Airport in an SUV Monday morning. Also featured will be Asmus' wide range of subject matter depicting day to day life in and around Taos, some serious, some lighthearted but guaranteed to portray the quirky, authentic and historic aspects of Taos. The Community Against Violence receives 25% of all proceeds. Website: www.markasmus.com |

Beau Carey's "Echo and Narcissus Echo and Narcissus is Beau Carey's self searching mirror that reflects the blind spots of humanity's struggle to harness nature. The oil paintings strike a curious balance between the beauty and unease: a square lake in the bottom of a Rothko-field filled with endlessly shifting grays and transparent color passages. Carey's work is a product of his exuberance and lust for life, it is extremely engaging and contemplative because it's unassuming, stripped back container is deliciously alive. |

Joshua Flint & Craig Neslon, 2- person Show North Carolina artist Joshua Flint’s artwork is about connectivity and light. The artist hopes that viewers come away from his paintings with an understanding of how we are emotionally connected to buildings. Often this connection instills within us a sense of relationship. For Flint, the edifices almost take on human qualities. He believes that we often end up personifying our architecture causing these structures to resonate in our lives. -- For those that have delighted in the cafes, markets and piazzas of central Italy and southern France, California artist Craig Nelson's paintings will evoke a sense of longing as well as marvelous memories. For those who have not had these experiences, Craig's art will whet the appetite for the visual and culinary pleasures of the regions he visits every summer and paints with emotion and enthusiasm. |

Raymond Jonson (1891-1982) Paring Down to Essence: The Last Quarter Century, 1953-1978 The years from 1953 to 1978 exemplify the most important quarter century in Raymond Jonson’s career, when due to declining sight, he quit painting. During this period he left behind the transcendental aesthetics that he had helped develop in the 1930s and 1940s (put abruptly to an end by World War II) and left his post as professor of painting at the University of New Mexico at the end of the 1953 academic year. Both instances allowed the artist to take full stock of his achievements and passions over the past forty years and look ahead towards fulfilling these without distraction. |
