BOB NUGENT
Amostra #1-3

"My work refers to Brazilian travels, specifically along the Amazon River Basin. Naturalistic forms resembling beehives, vertebrae, cocoons, anthills, plant forms and insects are spread across the surface of the work. My palette is often subdued beneath a layer of darkness, suggesting mystery. The work transcribes a memory of objects and impressions of what was seen and felt.

Brazil and the Amazon River Basin have been the subject and inspiration for my work for more than twenty-five years. Visiting the region now two to three times a year I find that the landscape has many moods. The Amazon River is an apt metaphor for the act of churning up remembered objects and sights, gathered while traveling along its rough course. In its flow, the river boils an object to the surface only to swallow it up again to resurface later. These impressions are a memory of the river bound on both sides by a high, dark jungle; foreboding and beautiful. It takes you in whole."

TOM HUCK
The Huck stops here..

A Missouri native, Tom 'Show Me' Huck flew into Santa Fe as part of a whirlwind schedule across the southwest. We've worked with him on past projects such as Hog Scalders and Decapitation Nation.Continuing at a frenetic pace on our newest editon Pork Chop Suey Pt. II: Oinktoberfest, Tom ended up pulling an all-nighter in order to get his carving finished. (He was scheduled to leave the next day at 1:00-0 the RTP was pulled an hour before the flight) Nothing like cutting things short- so thanks Tom...

Huck's influences include Daumier, Posada, and Durer which come to no surprise considering the subject matter of his large scale social satire. As large as his woodblocks are, there is a surprising delicacy to his carving skill and sure quick handed-ness.

LUIS JIMENEZ
 Art at the edge

In an era when undocumented workeres are often vilified, Luis Jimenez has memorialized the illegal entry into the United States of his own father and grandmother. His 10-foot-tall sculpture Border Crossing, depicts a man carrying a woman on his shoulders; she leans forward, holding a child against her chest. Her face is strained – perhaps because the Rio Grande is cold and dangerous. It is cast in fiberglass and painted in dark yet garish colors. Born in 1940, Jimenez grew up in a barrio of El Paso, Texas. He moved to New York during the 1960s, and after years of struggle, his first one-person exhibit at the Graham Gallery in 1969 was a success. Jimenez moved back to the Southwest in 1972 and began work on large-scale figurative works that celebrate the lives of working-class Hispanics. His work is included in the collections of the Museum of Fine Arts, Santa Fe, the Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington DC, and the El Paso Museum of Art.

Jimenez's drawings and lithographs are infused with the raw energy of live lived at the edges of society. In his graphic work, death can be disguised as a woman who dances wildly with flaring skirts ready to envelop souls. A dead coyote can say volumes about the rough and tumble of real life.

This June, Jimenez died from injuries when part of a monumental sculpture he was creating for the Denver International Airport fell on him.

#30! COLLABORATION

Charles M. Schulz met Christo and Jeanne-Claude in 1975. Two years later, Schulz memorialized Christo's work in a daily strip depicting a wrapped Snoopy house. With mutual admiration, Christo took the Schulz comic from a 1978 strip to reality in 2004 with his Wrapped Snoopy House Project at the Charles M. Schulz Museum and Research Center in Santa Rosa, California.

"Wrapped Snoopy House, Project for Charles M. Schulz Museum" will mark the 30th collaboration between Christo, Jeanne-Claude and Landfall Press. The lithograph /collage, inspired by the popular pooch, measures 24 1/8 inches by 21 5/8 inches with an edition size of 250. These will be offered at $5,500.00 each. The image debuted at the 2004 IFPDA Print Fair in NYC.
