HESPE - LE TRIANON GALLERY - SOMARTS SHOOTING GALLERY - WHITE WALLS 10.14.06 Hespe Gallery: Erin Cone - Secrets. Comment: Santa Fe artist Erin Cone tells me she combines portrait partials with abstract geometric elements. Why? She dialogues on the relationship of abstract to representational-- reality vs conjecture-- plus, via varying degrees of deliberately omitted details, she blends in mystery, suggestion, implication-- or enigma as Cone puts it-- about her subjects. And who are those subjects? People she knows. Art. Art. Erin Cone - art. Art. *** Le Trianon Gallery: Sense Modern - Gallery Selections and Fashion Show. Artists: Various. Comment: Le Trianon Gallery specializes in period art, most dating between 1890 and 1970. Apparently they'll be showing more contemporary artists soon. Stay tuned. In the meantime, tonight is a melding of gallery selections with contemporary fashions by Los Angeles designer Inga Nataya. Fine wine, period art, and models wafting about the gallery's circuitous rooms and corridors. I can dig it. Art - fashion. Art. Art. Art - fashion. Art. Looking back from the front of the gallery. Essence. *** SomArts Cultural Center & Gallery: The Light of the Heart for the Shadow of the Soul - La Luz del Corazon para las Sombras del Alma - The 9th Annual Day of the Dead Exhibit 2006.

Comment: Embrace life, welcome the spirits of the dead. Celebrate the cycle of life, death, and rebirth. All via art. Altars, installations, performances. Reverence everywhere; no one goes home unmoved. Without question one of my favorite art events of the year. Runs through November 4th, 2006. Art. Art. Performance. Art. Art - tunes. Entire installation done by fifth graders. Art. Art. Art. Art. Reflection refraction art. Art. "Return to Sender" art. Thanks Mr. President. *** White Walls Gallery: Mescalito. Artists: Mars-One, Oliver Vernon, Damon Soule. Comment: Three dudes sneak preview life on the flip side of reality. How? Simple. With paint. Magical intricate excursions deep into fantasticality without a hint of hesitation. Usually I type "(like it)" after stuff I really like, but I'll save myself a little time and tell you up front that I like everything. Excellent on all counts-- triple transcendence-- go see. Mars-One - art. Oliver Vernon - art. Damon Soule - art. Art (Damon Soule). Art (Mars-One). Art (Oliver Vernon). Art (Mars-One). Installation (Damon Soule, I think). Art (Oliver Vernon). Woah! Check that frock... Frock art + art (Oliver Vernon) Art (Damon Soule). *** The Shooting Gallery: Looking In - New Works by Sas Christian. Comment: What Margaret Keane started, Sas Christian finishes. Hot, seductive, and a little bit dangerous. Watch out. Art. Art. Sas Christian - art. Sas Christian - art. Art. Art. *** |
