The Stampede hosts world-class rodeo events, chuck wagon races, a midway and concerts. Three exciting art exhibits in Calgary pay tribute to this world-famous event. G'ddy Up!, NEWZONES Gallery of Contemporary Art, Calgary, July 4-August 22, 2009 G'ddy Up! explores the visual side of Calgary's cowboy culture. Cowboys and cowboy kitsch are a popular theme in the contemporary art scene. The cowboy no longer represents only machismo and the Wild West, but is a symbol of nostalgic yearnings for a simpler time. The artists – both those interested in cowboy society and those who use aspects of the culture for creative explorations – include Joe Andoe, Dianne Bos, Cathy Daley, Joe Fleming, Jeff Nachtigall and Kevin Sonmor. From the horses found in the work of Kevin Sonmor and Joe Andoe to Dianne Bos' photographs of Stampede fairground rides, all of the work in G'ddy Up!

Donald Woodman, Art Gallery of Calgary, July 3-September 12, 2009 Donald Woodman is an American photographer well-known for his images of small town rodeos in New Mexico and South Dakota. By looking behind the hype and myth surrounding this now highly commercialized "sport," Woodman provides unpretentious observations of a romanticized west. As the husband of ground-breaking feminist artist Judy Chicago, he spent eight years collaborating with her on The Holocaust Project: From Darkness into Light . Woodman served as Executive Director of the non-profit arts organization Through the Flower from 1997-2002, and is an accomplished commercial photographer with work published in Time Magazine , Newsweek , Vanity Fair , Art in America , and New York Newsday .

www.travergallery.com Masami Koda: Along With Flow TRAVER GALLERY, SEATTLE WA – Jun 5-28, 2009 Masami Koda's sensitive combinations of lamp-worked glass, bronze and steel refer to motifs of growth and of frozen moments. In her newest pieces, the relationship between human beings and nature has become specific and personal. Koda combines metal forms with meticulous webs of clear glass that reflect the subtlety of soft falling rain. The images induce a quiet state of mind that allows the view- er to become more aware of our place within the natural order. Through a macroscopic perspective, Koda emphasizes the elo- quence of organic systems. In Trace, for example, liquified strands of glass funnel through a circular steel form and converge into a small droplet, as if to to capture the grace of falling water. Masami Koda was born in Kobe, Japan and graduated from the Osaka University of Arts. The Seattle-based artist attended the Pilchuck Glass School and the Cleveland Institute of Art pri- or to earning an MFA from Alfred University, New York. In 2007, Koda was the recipient of an Artist Trust/Washington State Arts Commission Fellowship Award. The grant allowed Masami Koda, Trace (2009), lamp-worked her to concentrate on increasing the scale of her delicate mixed- glass and steel [Traver Gallery, Seattle WA, media sculptures. The greater scale and detail have allowed for Jun 5-28] additional conceptual depth in her work. Allyn Cantor

Elliott louis GallEry 258 East 1st Ave, Vancouver, BC V5T 1A6 604-736-3282 [email protected] www.elliottlouis.com David Wisdom: Vancouver: 1970-1975 www.sfu.ca/gallery TECK GALLERY AT SFU, VANCOUVER CAMPUS – May 17-Aug 29 , 2009 Photographs by Vancouver- based broadcaster David Wisdom depict scenes of the "old" Vancouver: before Expo 86, before the real estate boom, and before construction and roadwork delays became the norm in Vancouver. Shown for the first time in print form, the images were drawn from Wisdom's personal collection of thousands of slides shot during the early 1970s. Originally, they were an inte - gral part of the 'slide festivals' held from 1969 to 1979 with participants including Ian Wal - lace, Rodney Graham and Jeff Wall. (In the late 70s, the four artists formed their short- lived post-punk band UJ3RK5.) David Wisdom, Five Square Apartments, Kitsilano 1971 (1971) , lightjet print [Teck Gallery at SFU, Vancouver BC, May 17-Aug 29] Thirty photographs show the simple, raw edges of Vancouver before it subsumed to the glitz of international promotion. Wisdom's unique use of colour was rare at a time when most street photographers shot in black-and-white. The scenes have a strange, stark beauty that depicts the modernist city emerging from its roots ARTIST TALKS AND as a sea port, a sawmill town, and as the last stop for two national railways. SLIDE SHOWS: Vancouver appears almost beautiful in its utilitarian guise, "designed with Room 1600 our endless number of grey days with their grey light in mind." SFU Vancouver Campus David Wisdom is a well-known member of the Vancouver art scene. He 515 West Hastings is also recognized for 30 years of broadcasting on CBC Radio with shows FRIDAY, June 5, 7pm such as Nightlines , RadioSonic and Pearls of Wisdom , which he hosted until FRIDAY June 12, 7pm 2007.

The well-known song was originally written by British post-punk band Joy Division in 1979. Skedd's large-scale three-channel video installation depicts the rhythm and emotion of the pop song translated into sign language – a silent, visual and gestural form of communication. The hands, body and facial move - ments of the choir members become the only "read - able" aspects of the song. The words and music are felt not only in the minds and imagination of the T S viewers but in their bodies as they follow the rhythm I T R A

Skedd is a Vancouver-based artist currently residing in London, England. He was recently awarded a Cecil Lewis Sculpture Scholarship to pursue a MA in Fine Arts at Chelsea College of Art and Design (London, UK). Since graduating from Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design in 2001, Skedd has had solo exhibitions at the Contemporary Art Gallery and the Trylowsky Gallery, Van - couver.

www.preview-art.com PREVIEW 17 www.galleryjones.com Ann Goldberg GALLERY JONES, VANCOUVER BC – Jun 4-27, 2009 The magic realism of Ann Goldberg is reminis - cent of the fine watercolours, oils and prints of Canadian artist Mary Pratt. Like Pratt, Goldberg is drawn to food, china, transparent plastic and glassware for her still life subject matter. With an empha - sis on artifacts of photography – such as lens flare, distorted perspectives, and "circles of confusion" caused by an exaggerated depth of field – as well as on her fascination with a full continuum of light and dark, Goldberg is a quintessential photo-realist painter. Without resorting to factual depiction, she demonstrates a mastery of the oblique view, translucency, and multi-coloured shadows. The oil on canvas paintings are almost virginal in their cleanliness and purity. They have a delicacy and a poetic immediacy informed by her astute eye and precise brushwork, although the random, unedited, and unfocussed background shapes reveal an attachment to her photographs as resource material. The viewer has a sense that she has not, and would not, alter anything but the intensity of light and colour. Goldberg earned a Bachelor of Science at the University of Victoria in 1985, followed by a Bache - lor of Applied Science in 1989. She has a history of Ann Goldberg, Peaches and Plums in a Glass Bowl (2009), oil on canvas [Gallery Jones, Vancouver BC, Jun 4-27] working with architects in Edmonton and Vancou - ver. The paintings in this exhibit capture some of that scientific and architectural exactitude, whether intended or not. Mia Johnson

Curator Namita Gupta Wiggers selected faculty members from several colleges and universities in Oregon who have contributed to the recent influx of new ideas in the state's artistic academia. Artists were paired with art historians to investigate the work and studio practice of a subject formerly untapped.

# OPEN LATE ON FIRST THURSDAYS PREVIEW 23 GALLERY VIEWS BY ANN ROSENBERG
Museum of Glass, Tacoma, Washington: A Fusion of Material and Concept The 27-metre-tall cone tilted at 17 degrees and covered with diamond-shaped plates of stainless steel is visible from several downtown perspectives. It is the much talked about landmark and crowning feature of the Museum of Glass (MOG) in Tacoma, Washington designed by architect, Arthur Erickson. When a photograph of the structure while under construction was repro - duced in a 2002 Museum of Glass bulletin, architecture aficionados would have recognized that this robust framework was reminiscent of the 400-metre tall leaning tower conceptualized by Vladimir Tatlin as his 1920 Monument to the Third International . At a more basic level, as Erick - son stated in Architecture Week in October of that year, his tower is "a nod to the former sawdust S S A
burners of the region's lumber mills." Traditional L G
F O burners, unlike Erickson's cone, were typically M U E S

But the climax of the experience will be sitting P in a red plush chair within the soaring interior of the Buster Simpson, Incidence (2002), tempered plate glass, installed cone in a loge-like box. From that safe perch, the from 2002 to 2008 in the uppermost pool skilful and dangerous actions of the teams of highly skilled glass artists who twirl, blow, cool and reheat globules of molten glass are as mesmerizing to witness as any operatic sword fight. Only from the inside can the amazing structural supports and wigwam-like ceiling of the dome be fully appreciated. Erickson's Museum of Glass was realized in collaboration with Nick Milkovich Architects of Vancouver, British Columbia and Thomas Cook Reed Reinvald of Tacoma. Within Erickson’s oeuvre, the outermost sheath of the gently curved oval shape of the Roy Thompson Concert Hall in Toronto, Ontario (designed by Erickson in 1976 with Mather & Haldenby) is the most obvious precursor to the tilted cone of the Museum of Glass. Other aspects of the Museum's formal plazas, banks of concrete stairs and the reflecting pools found at several levels are traits of the architect’s aesthetic which date back to 1963, when the firm
of Erickson Massey designed Burnaby’s Simon S S A L G Fraesr University campus. At the MOG these F O

In March of 2009 Martin Blank's Fluent Steps was permanently installed in the Main Plaza reflecting pool. The MOG is located on Dock Street near the Thea Foss waterway. The Chihuly Bridge of Glass, designed by Austin-based architect Arthur Andersson of Andersson-Wise Architects and legendary glass artist Dale Chihuly, links the MOG with other faclities in the developing cultural district that features educational institutions, museums and galleries. Arthur Erickson, who died on May 20 in Vancouver, will be chiefly remembered in Tacoma by virtue of one of his most beautifully conceived cultural amenities.

www.preview-art.com PREVIEW 25 www.richmondartgallery.org Project Rainbow: The Ruby Glass RICHMOND ART GALLERY, RICHMOND BC – Jul 23-Sep 6, 2009 Project Rainbow is a Vancouver artists' collective that began in 2005 to study concepts of movement and colour. The members, Jade Boyd, Jesse Birch, Sydney Vermont and Heidi Nutley, collaborate on film, video, dance and perform - ance art. Research-based, each piece is derived from literary or art historical sources that have included works by Honoré de Balzac, Maya Deren and Yvonne Rainer. Previous works include L'Human Comedy (2005), a study of the colour yellow, and Variations on Green (2006). The group, which emphasizes audience interaction and public art, draws from a range of artis - tic mediums. They have been awarded a public art commission by the City of Vancouver for 2010 that will be titled Blue . The Ruby Glass takes its name from Werner Her - zog's 1976 film, Herz aus Glas , and incorporates pub - lic workshops to study the colour red (the after-image The Ruby Glass Production Still #3 (2009) [Richmond Art of the colour green). In part, the work explores the Gallery, Richmond BC, Jul 23-Sep 6] relationship of physical gestures to hypnosis and to the dance plagues of 14th through 16th century Europe – dances that were characterized by erratic spasms and mass hysteria. Originally shown in 2007 at the Stores Road studios, University of British Columbia, the 2009 version of The Ruby Glass is curated by Vancouver artist Kathy Slade. Mia Johnson

www.preview-art.com PREVIEW 29 www.ggibsongallery.com View Master: Lori Nix, Grace Weston, Jonah Samson G. GIBSON GALLERY, SEATTLE WA – Jun 4-Jul 11, 2009 Lori Nix, Grace Weston and Jonah Samson have in common the meticulous practice of fabricating three-dimensional dioramas for the purpose of photo-documentation. In each case, the scenes are later disassembled. Brooklyn-based Lori Nix reconstructs decaying urban environments on a tabletop in her apart - ment. The incredible life-like detail portrays what ordi - nary places like a church or laundry room might look like after being abandoned. The vestiges of seemingly real locations with their traces of neglect have an eerie feeling that conjures up a world of deterioration. Grace Weston, a Portland photographer, composes her scenes from found objects, toy-like figurines and fabricated props. The initial playfulness in the humor - ous mock-ups belies the deeper psychological fears, dramas, and tensions of contemporary life. Told through witty narratives, it is the sense of irony between Weston's materials and her conceptual approach, that gives the final photographs their strength. Grace Weston, Winter Wish, Winter Dream (2006), Jonah Samson's hand-assembled painted sets chromogenic print, edition of 20 [G. Gibson Gallery, include toy-like figures in a fictional reality. His recent Seattle WA, Jun 4-Jul 11] work Pleasantville recounts darker scenarios like murder scenes and sexual encounters set within a pseudo-suburban backdrop. Vancouver-based, he evokes a sardonic tone in his work that refers to sex and violence as a means of entertainment. Allyn Cantor

His work is like a black history month crossed with Attila Richard Lukacs and Chris Woods. Okamura graduated from the Alberta College of Art and Design in 1991 before moving to New York to obtain his MFA in Illustration as Visual Journalism at the School of Visual Arts. He was a 2004 recipient of the Fellowship in Painting from the New York Foundation for the Arts. Central to Okamura's subject matter are urban life, hip-hop, excerpts from art history and world mytholo - gy. His powerful images combine classical oil painting techniques with spray painted graffiti, and modern graphics with depictions of contemporary urban envi - ronments. He writes, "I continue to be inspired simulta - neously by the disparate visual language of Rembrandt's dark portraits, the intense contemplation of Antonio Lopez Garcia, and "wild-style" graffiti writers". Okamura's paintings have been widely exhibited in New York, including a Museum of Modern Art- Tim Okamura, Stay Strong (2009), oil, spray paint on curated exhibition at P.S. 1 Contemporary Art Center, canvas [Douglas Udell Gallery, Vancouver BC, Jun 6-20] as well as The National Portrait Gallery in London, and The Scottish National Portrait Gallery in Edin - burgh.

Three separate stages are united by a common concept: two wall murals and an installation which will be developed in a sequential manner over a period of three weeks by three groups of two artists. Materials for the artworks have been collected from donations prior to the inception of the project and contributed by each artist. In this manner, the course of the exhibition will come to resemble the folk parable of the "stone soup", where famished villagers are encouraged by a visiting stranger to contribute bits and pieces of veg - etables to a communal soup for which a the stranger's small stone has been used as a starter. During the first week of the exhibition, the initial team will create the foundation of the wall drawing. Each subsequent week, a different artist team adds to the wall drawing. Each team is asked to incorporate elements of the previous teams' work as the "flavour" of the artwork develops. A site-specific sculptural art installation utilizing donated or collected materials will also be recon - figured over the course of the exhibition. In response to the current emphasis on economic hardship and downturn, the exhibition is intended as a model for socially interactive, sustainable, and fiscally responsible art production. After the exhibition, the elements will be collected to enable the artwork to be exhibited again in a different location. Anything not put to use will be recycled or donated. A book will also be pro - duced to document the successive exhibit. The book which will be available for purchase at grace- gallery and through Vantage Art Projects online: phone 604-839-5780 or visit www.grace- gallery.com.

e S c t www.vanartgallery.bc.ca Andreas Gursky: Werke/Works 80-08 VANCOUVER ART GALLERY, VANCOUVER BC – May 30-Sep 20, 2009 The vast photographic scenes by German photographer Andreas Gursky have been called by eye-witnesses "literally unbeliev- able". They capture views of the contemporary world as an overwhelming wilderness of architec- ture, crowds and consumer products. The images were described by Calvin Tomkins in 2001 as "the majestic aura of nineteenth-century landscape paintings, without losing any of their meticulously detailed immediacy as photographs".

In the largest and most comprehen- L / N I L R

Gursky has set himself the goal of creating an image-based "Encyclopedia of Life" that depicts, among many other topics, the complexity and enormity of crowds on trading floors, beaches and at performances; the alienating presence of post-modern buildings and lobbies; and the expanses of consumer goods displayed in super stores or disposed of in multi-acre garbage dumps. In 2007, Gursky's 99 Cent II, Diptych, sold for USD $3.3 million, a record for highest price paid at auction for a single photographic image. Mia Johnson

Chapter 19. The Case of the Anabiotic Abbey I had advised my client on the purchase of the painting and had helped in acquiring it from the previous owner, who was selling due to financial difficulties. The previous owner indicated that the piece had been in their family for many years and that he had inherited it from his since-deceased mother. The oil on canvas painting was signed 'Wall' at the lower right on a small rock. William Archibald Wall (1828-1879), was said to have depicted the ruins of Fountains Abbey, England, however I had done some research on Fountains Abbey and was unable to connect the Bolton Abbey by William Archibald Wall image in the painting with that of a known image of the Abbey. Coincidentally, several years after the purchase, the work was placed on display at a local art and antiques fair and a young couple visiting from England stopped by to admire it. In conversation they mentioned, much to my surprise, that the ruins were actually of Bolton Priory and not Fountains Abbey as previously thought. They were quite familiar with the ruined structure and the surround - ing area in enough detail to comment on the stepping stone walkway, recognized in the painting and which still exists today, permitting foot traffic across the River Wharfe which flows nearby. Bolton Priory was originally founded at Embsay in 1120 and contained canons led by a prior. Bolton Abbey was founded in 1151 by the Augustinian Order on the banks of the River Wharfe. Construction was still going on at the Abbey when the Dissolution of the Monasteries by Parliamentary Decree Bolton Abbey, Yorkshire by J.M.W. Turner resulted in the termination of the Priory in 1539. The east end remains in ruins. A tower, begun in 1520, was left half- standing, and its base was later given a bell-turret and converted into an entrance porch. J.M.W. Turner painted several watercolours of the Priory and Abbey in 1809, one of which appears to have been painted from almost the same location as Wall had chosen some forty years later. The Abbey has also been painted by some of Britain's most revered 19th century watercolour artists including Peter de Wint, John Sell Cotman and Thomas Girtin. A work by Sir Edwin Landseer entitled Scene in the Olden Time at Bolton Abbey, painted in 1834, is in the collection of the Duke of Devonshire. A more contemporary image of the Abbey was painted by Yorkshire artist Keith Melling. The Priory has enjoyed a revival as such when it was fea - tured in the 1963 film entitled This Sporting Life starring Richard Harris. The Priory and grounds were the destination Stepping Stones at Bolton Abbey by Keith Melling for a Sunday outing for Frank Machin, played by Harris; his mistress Mrs. Margaret Hammond, played by Rachael Roberts; and her two children. Harris is seen playing with the children while his mistress looks on against the backdrop of the Priory Ruins. In one scene the children are shown negotiating the stepping stones to cross the River Wharfe. The ruins were also used as a location for scenes in the 2008 Bollywood supernatural thriller, entitled 1920 . The Priory also appears, in foggy form, on the front cover of the 1981 album entitled Faith by The Cure: a dead and decaying structure enjoying a return to life? Next issue: A new focus on contemporary art exhibitions, but not at the expense of art historical context.

www.preview-art.com PREVIEW 63 Conservator’s Corner BY REBECCA PAVITT WWW .FINEARTCONSERVE .COM I can see clearly now – or can I? – Part Two This is the second half of a two-part article on picture frame glazing. In the last issue of Preview we covered glass materials; in this issue acrylic glazing is discussed. Acrylic is generally used when size or weight is a concern. The larger the frame, the more risk there is, to art and person, from broken glass. Acrylic is much more impact resistant than glass, and about half the weight. These are important considerations when framing oversize art! Acrylic has lower thermal conductivity than glass, so it is much less likely to have condensation issues. This makes it pos - sible for items like textiles to come in direct contact with the glazing, as in pressure mounting techniques. Acrylic can also be solvent-joined and heat-bent to create three-dimensional mounts and display boxes. Acrylic does have two drawbacks however; it bows, and it scratches. The thicker the sheet, the less it bows, but the more it weighs. Bowing issues and weight considerations need to be taken into account when designing oversize framing systems. The impact resistance of acrylic makes it an attractive option for Shadowbox with regular acrylic on left, and use in public spaces, but its soft surface mars easily from abra- antireflective Optium Museum on the right pusion and solvents, making it a favourite target for vandals. Much of the product used by the framing industry is made by Cryo Industries, with the trade name Acrylite. Acrylite products most commonly used in framing are: • FF-3 plain clear • P-99 clear etched (to reduce glare by scattering reflected light) and • OP-3, which has UV filtering built into the sheet (not a coating). FF-3, P-99 and OP-3 are also available with an abrasion and chemical resistant coating on both sides and are designated by ‘MR’ (mar resistant). • Acrylics reflect 8% of light (like glass) • FF-3 and P-99 filter 66% UV light • OP-3 products filter 98% UV light but have a slight yellow cast Tru Vue, a major supplier of frame glazing, markets FF-3 as Premium Clear, P-99 as Reflection Control, and OP-3 P 99 as Conservation Reflection Control. Tru Vue also supplies some unique glazing materials: • Optium Acrylic FF-3 MR with anti-reflective coating on both sides. The combination of MR and optical coatings increases UV filtration to 93%. • Optium Museum Acrylic is OP-3 MR with a proprietary anti-reflective coating on both sides. UV filtration is, like other OP-3 products, 98%. • The anti-reflective coatings on Optium products reduce glare to less than 2%. MR products are anti-static, making them safe to use with friable media such as unfixed pas - tels. Optium products are also anti-static. Under certain lighting conditions (natural daylight) Optium Acrylic can show a pink cast, so it should be tested in situ before using. Uncoated acrylic products must be cleaned with acrylic cleaners or alcohol/water solutions (rubbing alcohol is the most usual). MR products must be cleaned with glass cleaning products, or alcohol/water solutions. Optium products must be cleaned with alcohol/water solutions. The solution should be spritzed onto a clean microfibre cloth, not directly onto the acrylic. Conservator’s Corner articles are archived on-line at: www.preview-art.com.

Ben-Ner's family members serve as actors in his videos while Mueck often uses rel - atives and close acquaintances as models for his sculptures. Ron Mueck is an Australia-born, London-based artist who has become famous for his hyper-real - ist self-portraits and his larger-than-life sculptures of mothers, babies and young children. Mueck's early career was as a model maker and puppeteer for children's television and film until his artwork was promoted by Charles Saatchi. He captures every nuance of mottled skin, facial pores and sur - C

www.preview-art.com PREVIEW 71 www.catrionajeffries.com LOADED CATRIONA JEFFRIES GALLERY, VANCOUVER BC – May 15-Jun 20, 2009 LOADED examines social, political and economic conditions through a group exhibition of artworks that focus on these sub - jects. As well as a selection of gallery artists from Catriona Jeffries, the show includes others who are practising internationally. The featured artists are Rebecca Belmore, Sam Durant, Geoffrey Farmer, Bri - an Jungen, Myfanwy MacLeod, Alex Morrison, Kevin Schmidt, Ron Terada and Jin-me Yoon. These artists explore the contemporary world using themes of power, accountability, democracy, history and activism. At the same time, many of the works transcend the specificity of time by incorpo - rating references to events that took place in the 20th century, such as the Black Panther movement in work by Sam Durant; the Second World War in the drawings of Myfanwy MacLeod; and the protest movements of the 1960s in bronze monuments by Alex Morrison. The selected pieces represent a range of media Alex Morrison, Proposal for a new Monument at Freedom including sculptures by Geoffrey Farmer, an installa - Square (2007), modelling clay and wood [Catriona Jeffries tion by Rebecca Belmore, a neon artwork by Ron Ter - Gallery, Vancouver BC, May 15-Jun 20] ada, and a parachute constructed from men's dress shirts by Brian Jungen.

www.preview-art.com PREVIEW 73 www.willamette.edu/museum_of_art/ Robert McCauley: Rapids and Pools HALLIE FORD MUSEUM OF ART, SALEM OR – Jun 6-Aug 2, 2009 Known for his stylized renderings that depict theatrical animals in still moments, Robert McCauley works in the tradition of 19th century Romanticism. His work alludes to a time when the landscape was still pristine. By inte - grating found objects and inscribing text into his paintings, McCauley creates metaphoric images that explore the 19th centu - ry notion of "Manifest Destiny" and its impact on the indigenous cultures and environment of the western U.S. The resultant ethi - cal questions have been an ongoing theme for McCauley for near - ly 40 years. Rapids and Pools provides a survey of work produced from 1992-2007. It explores the artistic evolution of McCauley's multi - faceted output, which includes paintings, drawings, mixed media, and installation pieces that combine painting and assemblage. Robert McCauley moved back to his native state of Washing - ton last year after a long and distinguished career as Professor and Chairman in the Department of Art at Rockford College in Rock - Robert McCauley, E xplorer II (After ford, Illinois.

www.preview-art.com PREVIEW 77 www.elizabethleach.com Gustavo Ramos Rivera: Invenciones de Sol ELIZABETH LEACH GALLERY, PORTLAND, OR – Jun 4-27, 2009 Gustavo Ramos Rivera is known for brilliant, intensely coloured abstractions and personalized iconography. Born in Mexico, the self- taught painter has lived in San Francisco for over 30 years, where he creates paintings with a mod - ernist sensibility. In his large-scale canvases, Ramos Rivera synthesizes simple and playful expressive mark-making with broad colour fields that remind us of Joan Miró, Paul Klee or Richard Diebenkorn. His vivid palette recalls the culture of his Mexican her - itage while giving his paintings an emotional vibrancy that is heightened by the distinct and fervent quality of his line. With a sensual palette combined with bold passionate shapes and resonating colour choices, Ramos Rivera bal - ances the atmospheric and structural qualities of his com - positions to create an individual visual language. This lan - guage is part of a his larger artistic continuum and is pres - ent in both his paintings and works on paper. He is also a Gustavo Ramos Rivera, Flor Ardiente (Fiery Flower) master printmaker. Several of Ramos Rivera's monotypes (2006), oil on canvas [Elizabeth Leach Gallery, and collages will be included in this exhibit. Portland OR, Jun 4-27] Ramos Rivera's work has been exhibited in California at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and the Fresno Art Museum. He had his first major American retrospective at the San Jose Museum of Art, and is included in their permanent collection. Allyn Cantor
