Clifford Bailey: Jazzed
September 27 - October 14, 2008
Opening reception: Saturday, September 27, 5:00
POP Gallery Presents Clifford Bailey: Jazzed--a collection of vibrant & whimsical works with a reception honoring the artist's first visit to Santa Fe! A featured event during the internationally acclaimed Wine & Chile Fest, our reception will host a wine tasting featuring Santa Fe Vineyards. A Silent Auction benefiting Meds and Food For Kids will open at the reception and close October 5th.
Clifford BAILEY's highly individualized style of painting is often described as vibrant, exciting, and sophisticated. The artist captures the very energy and essence of Jazz and Jazz clubs as he puts his unique understanding of music into his uplifting and compelling compositions. The viewer is instantly swept up into the days of the Roaring 20's as well as the undeniable opulence and refinement of the 30's and 40's.
The stylized characters in BAILEY's work entertain the viewer through the artist's effective use of subtle and harmonious color and detail. One can sense the "rhythm" of BAILEY's simplified, yet potent, brush strokes as he orchestrates his vignettes of swinging bands, sultry torch- singers, too-hip crooners, and even sophisticated symphonies.
JAZZ, in essence, developed as a musical style exploring and experimenting with vibrant and boldly improvisational use of instruments in an almost rebellious fashion. BAILEY has adapted this witches-brew formula for creativity to his unique brand of painting. As he says himself, "Music has always inspired me. When I see the faces of people under the spell of music, I have an urge to capture their expressions on canvas. There is an emotional intensity I find fascinating. And then there is the rhythm of painting itself, the way the brush slaps and strokes the canvas, the color combinations and shapes of compositions and form; it's all music to me."--Clifford Bailey
Given his already robust following and the consistent demand for his paintings, the future seems bright for Clifford BAILEY and his artwork. And as such a popular and successful artist at this pivotal dawn of the 21st century, it is likely that Clifford BAILEY's art future may very well become art history.
Clifford Bailey original works and giclees on canvas are available exclusively in Santa Fe, New Mexico at POP Gallery.

POP Featurette:Bronze
September 13 - September 24, 2008
Opening reception: Saturday, September 13, 5:00
Our Bronze featurette is a sneak peak into masterful creations merging age old techniques and contemporary form. Sculptors Virginia Harrison and Brice Tahyi present original work from petite vessels, hanging works, and free standing sculpture in a contemporary vein.
Modern elements as a reflection of artful living
Woven bronze sculpture by Virginia Harrison is showcased in sculpture gardens, corporate & private collections internationally. Her original works are in high demand by Interior Designers & Architectural firms.
Virginia Harrison
Artist's statement:
I was raised at the foot of the Rocky Mountains in Colorado, where the history and lore of the gold and silver mines gave me an early understanding of metal. Over the past 17 years, I've been refining a technique combining the ignitive force of casting with the delicacy of weaving to create woven bronze sculptures that evoke both literal and emotional interpretation. I sculpt each base in wax and then cast them into bronze. I then weld spines to the base and weave the thin bronze wire, and sometimes beads or other objects, around the spines. After the weaving is complete, a patina is applied.
Sometimes the shapes that emerge are extremely deliberate, while other times they evolve during the process of creating them.
Combining bronze casting and weaving connects me to some of the most ancient human activities, and offers a way of lending grace and movement to bronze.
BRICE TAHYI
STATEMENT: Sculpting is not a choice for me, I can't turn it off, it's the way I know best to speak. As the new century begins, I see less and less connectivity to the planet, more cases of human isolation from one another. The machined aspect of my work, combined with wood elements masks an underline frustration with confinement and complacency in our society.
BIO: Brice Tahyi is a mostly self taught artist, though he did attend art school for one year, most of his knowledge came from working at Shidoni Foundry. Brice studied the lost wax casting method for bronze at the foundry. Now combining the traditional methods with a modern influence in patina, subject, and wood craftsmanship, he sets his work apart from the rest. Though his work is sometimes considered industrial that's not the case, he merely borrows from the aesthetic to suite his own needs. Brice is a member of the sculptors guild, as well as Avant Garde , an artist group established to assist local artists. An emerging artist Tahyi has been represented in several New Mexico Galleries.
Both Virginia Harrison & Brice Tahyi are currently represented in Santa Fe, NM exclusively at POP Gallery. Contact us directly for images, details, & availability of original work.

Opening reception: Saturday, July 26, 5:00 LIVE "Littles" AUCTION
GOT HEART? SILENT Bigs" Auction to benefit SFCM opens 7-26-08 and closes 8-8-08
Artist Diego Lukezic summers in Santa Fe--passionately painting the dog of his childhood-Tango dog. Even as a child, in the heart of Buenos Aires-Argentina, Diego fell madly in love with Tango, a blue heeler mix.
Though he never lived in Diego's home he captivated his heart. He has always painted the adventure that together they are on--on safari, under water, skiing, fishing, and more. There is no end to this journey.
William K. Stidham debuts his internationally acclaimed Sacred Heart series to Santa Fe. The Sacred Heart series is a collection of iconic paintings imbibed with the sacred heart imagery that William grew up
with in the Catholic Church. Each of his sacred hearts have touched the world with the gifts that they have been given. Using their heart energy, these artists and shape shifters were able to change people's lives
through the use of their gifts. Without them the world and the way we experience it would be lit a little dimmer. "How are you using your Sacred Heart for change?"
Our July 2008 show kicks off Friday July 25th -- with an artist's demonstration for children. We provide the materials and Diego will paint with kids at the Santa Fe Children's Museum located at 1050 Old Pecos Trail.
The art created will then be part of a KIDS Silent auction--live at POP on Saturday 26th 5pm---100% of proceeds to benefit the Santa Fe Children's Museum. A really fun event to inspire artists in the making as they create work and then see their art hanging in a gallery.
POP Gallery? Yes, we've got heart.
Paint with Diego Friday 4-6pm
Artist Reception Saturday July 26th 5-7 pm
