Healthy Obsessions. The Photography Of Steve Fitch.
I was recently turned onto the photographs of Steve Fitch by Johnnie Meier at the Classic Gas Museum in Embudo, NM. I was able to see Fitchs' current exhibition in Santa Fe at Photo Eye Gallery.. If you are around town please check it out as most of the neon signs are from the 1970's and 80's and are long gone.

Randall Reid "Recontextualized - Ordered Layers" show at Nuart Gallery, Santa Fe, NM
Here are a few photos from Randall Reid's opening at Nuart Gallery in Santa Fe, New Mexico. You may remember Randall's artwork from an earlier post on my blog. I purchased a piece of his work and we started e mailing back and forth discussing the crazy art world.
The title of his show is "Recontextualized - Ordered Layers" and the opening was Friday, April 24, 2009. The work will hang through May 10th. For the opening Randall worked with photographer Michelle Hays to photograph many of the antique toys that were included in the show. It adds another dimension to the work to see where the inspiration came from and to have these beautiful photographs accompany his artwork.
His show opening was a huge success as you can see from all of the red dots on Nuart's website. Please stop by if you are in the Santa Fe area. Nuart is a great gallery with a well lit, open space and creaky, antique hardwood floors that add character and charm.
You can see all of the work from the show here.

The Artwork of Ted Larsen.
While on a recent trip I was able to pay a visit to Ted Larsen's studio and see his works in progress. I was introduced to his art a few years back at the Affordable Art Fair in New York. He was represented by Madelyn Jordon in Scarsdale.
I am attracted to the raw nature of his work. Ted works in recycled steel from old cars, trucks and road signs. His work has been pared down into its most basic forms so the viewer can take away an experience based on what they see in the work. I love it because, for me, it has elements of Americana from the 50's and 60's. The automobiles and neon roadside signs employ much of these colors. The weathered nature of the steel tells a story of time and history. His compositions have a Richard Diebenkorn "Ocean Park" feel to them.
The construction of his work recalls an age before industrialized machinery and he intends to bring the human aspect back into the process. His machines are all set up to aid in his quest.
It was a great honor to get to meet Ted, see his studio and new work and get to talk art.
