“The show features work unmistakingly unique, where two well-defined worlds —one in figuration and the other in abstraction—touch over a shared curiosity into what can result when color, light, and shape are amplified and played with. Between John Tarahteeff’s eccentrically elegant figures swinging between movement and pause against mystifying landscapes and Willy Bo Richardson’s spirited abstractions channeled within instinctive and meditative vertical strokes, a contained drama steps, turns and reveals itself.”
More about Nüart:
Collectors come from around the world to experience the deep concentration of galleries on Canyon Road and the unique cultural atmosphere in Santa Fe. However, just beyond the stretch of galleries as well as within the Nüart gallery space, which housed Gormley’s Market until the 1980s, the evidence of Santa Fe’s living history remains; History coexists with the contemporary. (See Santa Fe Modern)
Established at the beginning of the 21st Century, Nüart Gallery’s mission has always been to show the work of the very best in contemporary art. Great art often exists outside of constrained historical contexts, possessing lasting and impressionable depth and value.
