Memento Mori
July 16 - August 31, 2010
Opening reception: Saturday, July 24, 6:00
Featuring Daniel Martin Diaz, Brandon Maldonado & Marie Sena
Opens July 16th-August 31st , Artist Reception Saturday July 24th 6-9pm (All artists will be in attendance)
A POP Gallery first- Spanish Market Group Show featuring three prolific artists who are creating work that preserves Spanish arts & history while embracing Contemporary motif and techniques often seen in Pop Surrealism internationally but outside the traditions of Santa Fe's historic Spanish arts community and annual markets. This show may be the most important event of the 2010 Spanish Market and is already the buzz in the Juxtapoz and Hi-Fructose worlds.
"Memento Mori" ( A Latin phrase translated as "Remember you must die"), names a genre of artistic creations that vary widely from one another, but which all share the same purpose: to remind people of their own mortality and the punishment they will receive if they transgress the rules of their religion, the phrase has a tradition in art that dates back to antiquity.
Artist sneak peak:
Arizona native Daniel Martin Diaz, dark, complex scenes recall classical religious art while remaining completely modern; he has produced both stained glass for the San Antonio de Paduas church in Mexico and cover art for the new P.O.D. album and Good Charlotte album. His subtle, uncommon treatment of familiar religious iconography is at once subversive, devotional, and unique. His work is featured in museums across the world and he shows internationally with 2 specific solo shows annually in Rome & Canada. Together with his wife Paula Valencia they explore musical arts as the experimental band, Blind Divine.
Brandon Maldonado resides in Albuquerque, NM steeped in hispanic arts and culture and has been honored by the city as one of New Mexico's most promising emerging artists. His drawings and originals in oil are featured in Contemporary and Traditional Spanish Museums and he currently shows across the US and in the UK. The process of making a painting in itself is a meditation for Brandon who discriminately choose the themes of his work, making certain that each concept is ultimately something he believes is worth saying and contemplating. These are often associated with the many aspects of human experience, from life's joys, sorrows and struggles, to the mysteries of our mortal existence.
Marie Sena hails from Santa Fe, New Mexico and currently resides in Albuquerque where she is a medical illustrator, fine artist and a professional tattoo artist, in high demand internationally. In May 2010 she travelled Spain and was a guest artist at the Barcelona Tattoo EXPO, a festival of tattoo & urban art with over 9,000 people attending from all corners of the world. Even as a child Marie Sena, along with the Sena family of artists, showcased her work at Santa Fe's Spanish Market where she has been honored numerous times. She left New Mexico after receiving a scholarship to attend Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa where she received her degree in Biological and Pre-Medical Illustration and later earned a Master's Degree in Medical Illustration while completing her tattoo apprenticeship in Dallas, TX.
In POP tradition the show will benefit Bienvenidos Outreach, LLC, a Santa Fe based non profit that supports hungry & homeless of Santa Fe. In lieu of an art raffle POP Gallery will donate a portion of the show proceeds to this fine organization.

POP Gallery On LoVe (2009)
November 18 - January 1, 2010
Opening reception: Thursday, December 31, 6:00
CLOSING Reception Dec 31st 6:00pm
Love is any of a number of emotions and experiences related to a sense of strong affection and attachment. The word love can refer to a variety of different feelings, states, and attitudes, ranging from generic pleasure ("I loved that meal") to intense interpersonal attraction ("I love my boyfriend"). This diversity of uses and meanings, combined with the complexity of the feelings involved, makes love unusually difficult to consistently define, even compared to other emotional states. Love in death, love in life, scorned lover, lover's revenge, love until death do us part, love and then you die--all phrases/comments on love and the immense role it plays in life, dealings, thoughts, after thoughts, actions, evolution and demise.
As an abstract concept, love usually refers to a deep, ineffable feeling of tenderly caring for another person. Even this limited conception of love, however, encompasses a wealth of different feelings, from the passionate desire and intimacy of romantic love to the nonsexual emotional closeness of familial and platonic love to the profound oneness or devotion of religious love. Love in its various forms acts as a major facilitator of interpersonal relationships and, owing to its central psychological importance, is one of the most common themes in the creative arts.
Curated by POP Gallery with invitations outgoing to local and international artists asked to present works with a comment on LoVe. Closing reception Dec 31st as we toast goodbye old perceptions of LoVe and welcome in new.
In 2009 SF Public schools reported over 800 children in Santa Fe alone are homeless and over 2000 are challenged daily with food insecurity. Two ways to help this winter--
POP Gallery will be offerring raffle tickets ($5 each or $20 for 7)...Grand prize: Cat In The Hat original drawing by Dr Seuss valued at $3500. Second Prize: True Love giclee by J & K Keifer valued at $950. third prize: "Smitten" original on canvas by Valery Milovic valued at $550. 100% of the proceeds to benefit homeless children of Santa Fe.

Wine, Chile & Clifford Bailey
September 18 - November 11, 2009
Opening reception: Saturday, September 26, 6:00
Timed to celebrate the unique and robust flavors of New Mexico during the 19th Annual Wine & Chile Fest comes a sultry fall show filled with whimsy and romance featuring new work by internationally renowned artist Clifford Bailey. Wine tasting with a local vineyard & tasty New Mexican hors d'oeuvres will be served.
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 Clifford BAILEY's work entertain the viewer through the artist's effective use of subtle and harmonious color and detail. One can sense the art of Clifford 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. Clifford 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.
Enjoy currently available works now online---the show art will surprise you in September!

Our son, Rowan, is almost five and we already see how much his art environment has impacted his development in a positive way. Knowing how little money is allocated to public school art is heart wrenching---that other children may not have the opportunity for a whole life experience without our participation is aweing. Partnering with Artfeast events helps us ensure that the arts are valued as key components in education right along with other subjects.

POP Featurette:Bronze
September 13 - September 19, 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.

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
