There was a wonderful opening at Hand Artes Gallery here in Truchas this past Saturday (see previous post Disparate Pieces).
The subject of the show was the nude and its title, “Nude Year 2011: Voices of the Body,” expressed very well the great mix of art from several local artists including Anna Karin, Terry Gates, Alberto Castagna, Pierre Toutain-Dorbec and Trish Booth Pieterse to name a few.
This is just one example of the rich and artful life we live up here on the High Road, seemingly in the middle of nowhere, but actually in the middle of it all.
The opening was very well attended and I offer, here, some photos for those of you who were unable to be there and as reminiscences for those of us who were. Thank you, Brian Flowers (see previous post Art For the Village), for curating such a splendid show!
Love to you all,
Jeane
Thanks for the wonderful photos of the really impressive show!! Thanks for Brian’s hard work.
So glad you liked the post. Brian did a great job, didn’t he? Pulling together so many disparate pieces (who’s that remind you of?). Just wish the two of you could have been there, but in one more month… I’m practicing patience! Dinner at my house as soon as you’re settled.
Well done, Jeane. I felt as though I was present! Also I loved the blog yesterday. Absolutely loved the photos of the artist with his art talking about art so simply stated that a novice understands. Blog on!
Thanks dear. It’s actually fun for me to watch the blog unfold. It’s shifting and changing and taking on a life of its own. Glad you’re along for the ride. I’m going to Taos to get your canvas tomorrow 🙂
Jeane, thanks for doing this. These are all the pictures I wish I would have taken!! I reposted for all my homies on FB.
I’m glad you liked it Trish. Thanks! My only regret is that, somehow, I didn’t get a photo of Leonardo’s wonderful piece. Thanks, too, for reposting.
What an environment rich with beautiful art and characters:) As said above – I feel like I have been to the opening myself…my toe in the water at this distance is such a gift:) Thanks dear!!
Love and joy to you this day and always.
By the way please send a wish of joy and peace to my Father who is passing soon.
XOXOX

Thanks Grace. I’m glad you felt a part of it. Those of us who live here are so blessed. It’s nice to share.
I’m so very sorry to hear about your Father. I didn’t know. I’m sending some special New Mexico energy to him, to you, and your family. Peace be with you.
Thank you for making it possible for those of us who are far away to share in the unique spirit and community that made this beautiful event happen. The work that we see in these photos is extraordinary and deeply inspiring.
I’m so glad you receive it in such a way. It’s exactly what I was trying to do. I’ll be posting photos from a great Santa Fe opening on Monday. I hope you’ll join us!
