Event Type: Museum Events
…at the Museum of Spanish Colonial Art, 750 Camino Lejo On Museum Hill in Santa Fe. Lecture is free to members of the Society, $10 for non-members. (Memberships in the Spanish Colonial Arts Society begin at $40 and may be purchased at the door.) Reservations are required, so please call 505-982-2226 to reserve. Artist Frederico Vigil, a native of Santa Fe, is devoted to reviving buon fresco, an art form that reached its zenith in 16th century Italy. But it is appropriate that New Mexico is a focus of fresco's revival since long before the 16th century, Meso-American pyramids and Anasazi kivas were painted with a fresco technique much like that used today by Vigil. His materials, pure natural pigments, sands, lime and colored soils come from the earth of New Mexico and bear a natural relationship to that other “earth art” of the Southwest, adobe walls.
The earth of northern New Mexico is deep with history and tradition. Many of the traditions are translated by artists and craftsmen into contemporary woodcarvings, retablos, silver jewelry, carvings in stone or paintings meant to be carried away and added to a Collector's home. True fresco, or buon fresco, however, is a an ancient art form which is one of the most permanent forms of wall decoration known.
Born and raised in Santa Fe, Frederico grew up inspired by a rich heritage. He spent close to a decade creating the largest concave fresco in North America – a monumental 4,000 square foot work at the National Hispanic Cultural Center in Albuquerque. Vigil first became involved with the ancient art of fresco during an internship in 1984 with Lucienne Bloch and Stephen Pope Dimitroff, who were apprentices to Diego Rivera. Following in the footsteps of the great masters, he continued this time-honored tradition inside the Torreón Over 3,000 years of Hispanic history are depicted in the broadest sense, from Europe to Mesoamerica and into the American Southwest, illustrating the complexities and diversity of the Hispanic experience.
While Vigil's favorite canvas is a blank wall—in a dimly-lit chapel, in the halls of a college or university, on the outside of any building—he has also created frescos on portable panels to be installed in private residences. As he walks through his native town, Frederico Vigil's constant preoccupation is his search for a wall . . . an expanse of any size that seems to beg to be turned into a permanent work of art.
Frederico Vigil grew up on Santa Fe's Canyon Road—when the Acequia Madre (the mother ditch) was still running with water and fish and was the “umbilical cord” of the closely-knit community. Vigil's background as a painter and his reverence for tradition and history led him naturally to studying the ancient art of fresco. Through the teaching of Lucienne Bloch and Stephen Pope Dimitroff, apprentices to Diego Rivera in the 1930s, Vigil leads a new generation in the renaissance of the art of buon fresco. Since the completion of his first fresco in 1984, Vigil has created 12 major fresco murals.
The long process of creating buon fresco begins with a wall rough-plastered with two layers of lime, cement and sand mixtures. The third layer is a smooth surface on which the sinopia or rough sketch of the overall design is drawn. From the sinopia, an outline of the drawing is transferred to tracing paper. This design on translucent tracing paper is referred to as “the cartoon.” Each of the first three plaster layers must set a minimum of ten days prior to applying the final coats.
When the artist is ready, beginning at the top of the wall, an area sufficient for one day's work is covered with the final two layers of damp plaster; the last smooth layer is called the intonaco. The next step is as ingenious as it is bizarre: the cartoon is perforated, held up to the damp intonaco and is “pounced” with a bag of powdered charcoal. In this way, the outline of the design is transferred to the intonaco. The artist then begins to paint on the damp plaster, following the outline created with the charcoal powder.
This is the essence of buon fresco: because the plaster is still damp, a chemical reaction takes place and the colors become integrated with the wall itself. Scaling cannot occur as it eventually does when paint is applied to the surface of a wall. The next painting day, the process is repeated: the wall is wet down, the 4th and 5th coats of damp plaster are applied, the perforated cartoon is “pounced.” It is, of course, essential that the new intonaco—and the painting—is carefully joined with that of the previous day so that the completed fresco appears as a continuous painting without visible joints.
As Frederico Vigil has come to understand, buon fresco is the most unforgiving type of painting. Once the pigment is applied, it becomes irreversible, leaving an indelible record of the artist's skill and mistakes. Vigil's passionate adherence to the rigorous art of fresco has left an indelible record on various walls in Santa Fe, Albuquerque, and numerous tucked-away New Mexican villages. In his words: “my frescos are gentle reminders of the things that are really important and should be preserved.” Each fresco is an homage to faith, history and the goodness of life and each is an irreplaceable gift to New Mexico.

Millett has spent the majority of his career making large scale metal sculptures that explore the abstraction of both figurative movement and geometry. However, many of these complex creations start from ideas hashed out in wood, small scale, with vibrant monochromatic color schemes. This exhibition presents a collection of these small wooden sculptures for the wall and pedestal. Each piece has a dynamic compositional element that inspires visual interest and translates to the monumental, yet was made for an intimate view.
Based in Seattle WA, Millett has exhibited widely over the past 30 plus years. With family in Santa Fe, Chiaroscuro has become his home-away-from-home gallery and has helped develop a significant local following. This is Millett's second solo exhibition at Chiaroscuro.

Albuquerque artist Kevin Tolman builds his rich mixed-media abstractions with gestural sheets of vibrant acrylic colors through an application of scratching, scraping and drawing along the way. Many aspects from these under-paintings are revealed or obscured as the piece progresses. It is, he admits, a pursuit of serendipity. “I see our world as being very cyclical, random patterned, and profuse in nature. It is also an incredibly layered and thickly complex place that I find interesting and exquisitely beautiful. My visual experience is something I obviously can't help but bring to my work.”

William Siegal Gallery is pleased to presentSelections, an exhibition of unseen works by many of our gallery artists. The show will open April 26, 2013 with a reception from 5–7 pm, and runs through May 25, 2013. To begin the summer exhibition schedule with fresh energy, the gallery artists were asked to select an un-shown or atypical work from their oeuvre to be presented in a group show. The “selections” include a huge (110 x 118”) painted canvas by Paula Roland who is well known for her small to medium scale works in encaustic and a large “life-scale” photograph by Peter Ogilvie from his recent series of Nudes. These and other selected contemporary works will be shown in conjunction with several exciting new Pre-Columbian acquisitions!

Henrieke I. Streckerhas her roots in the Black Forest of southwestern Germany. Her formative and creative years were spent there, and later in Berlin and Frankfurt. In 2008 she relocated to the United States and currently resides and works in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. She has spent her lifetime in photography and alternative photographic techniques. Henrieke's work appears in photographic journals, catalogues, blogs and in books on photographic practices. She teaches The Art of Photography (analog photography)&Historic Photographic Processes at Plymouth State University in New Hampshire.
Henrieke Strecker's photogravures and mixed media images rarely have titles. It is her goal to entice the viewer to become an active observer, to respond to the image so as to find his or her own meaning---presumably a new and very personal tale. Thus, she doesn't document an isolated moment as a documentary photographer would nor does she paint a realistic picture, for Henrieke, this type of photographic rendition is too much like a report. Instead, she gives an account of small movements and atmospheres thereby sharing her experience with the viewer. Her technique requires her to remain still, in her own yard, in one place, and quietly allow her perceptions to emerge --- "to go deeper - unearthing, layer after layer, exposing the fields of vision hidden well beneath the surface." The core of her work is both visual and graphic, simplicity derived from her natural surroundings.
Maggie Tayloris exhibiting both new work and a selection of images from No Ordinary Days, her recent book that is a survey for Maggie's art for the period 1998 through 2012. Maggie continues her characteristic style of scanning and enhancing daguerreotypes, tintypes, figurines, illustrations and photographs for which she then creates surrealistic settings for the featured portrait.
The portraits that Maggie uses for her photomontages, the daguerreotypes and the tintypes, are 19th Century pictures. The technical limitations of the medium at the time, the "film" that captured the subject of the photographs, was slow, not very light sensitive. Often the taking of a picture took several seconds, even minutes. While the lens cap was removed from the camera the photographic subjects were required to sit or stand, perfectly motionless, until the lens cap was replaced on the camera. Photographers used specially made props such as the Brady Stand, a 19th century factory made cast iron side table to act as a prop and to assist the subject to be still. Photographers also learned that a smile was always in motion. Pictures of those who smiled rendered the face blurred and the photo was useless. Hence, the portrait subject was admonished not to move, not to smile, not to blink, and, most importantly, not to change their expression. The subjects dressed for this special occasion presenting themselves for the camera in their best, probably their only formal wear. The clothing was dark, often black, creating a setting that had a funereal air or suggesting the subject was suffering some anguish or discomfort. If the photograph was taken in a studio there would be props, such as a table, sofas, stools, and chair, and perhaps a backdrop, a pastoral setting of trees or the like as the hand painted backdrops found on a stage. Rarely does anyone know the name of the person who was photographed. That identity has long been lost to posterity. Finally, the print made of the subject was totally without color, ashen --- just shades of gray. Consequently, these 19th Century portraits took on a stilted stoic and stiff expression, and worst of all, they were gray. No one ever looked happy; they couldn't smile. In her book, Maggie Taylor's Landscape of Dreams, Maggie shows us four examples of original daguerreotypes and tintypes as she collected them and then how she reconstructs them as her own art.

Dawn Bacon-Richards
As owner of Bacon-Richards, Dawn designs and consults on both large and small-scale projects, incorporating her years of fashion industry experience. She creates industrial design packages that are factory ready for other design houses, and also creates artistic custom designs for her collectors.
Originally from New Mexico, Dawn received a BFA in fashion design from the University of North Texas. While in school, Dawn worked designing accessories, which were sold to boutiques throughout the Texas and the Southwest. After graduating, she designed women’s apparel for Alexander Campbell, a company in Dallas known for its unique prints. Dawn supervised the development and production of the sample line, overseeing a team of design assistants and sample makers. Her designs were carried nationwide, including Coldwater Creek Catalog and were seen in Cowboys & Indians magazine.
Bacon-Richards said her adult classes focus on "traditional old-school methods" that combine pattern-making and draping. "It's a much more intuitive way to design," she said. "People really need to be able to use their intuition to design, and part of the battle is learning how to trust that." full story at http://www.santafenewmexican.com/
