Reception for the artist on Thursday, September 20, 4-6:00pm.

A native of Taos, but raised in Denver, David Gary Suazo has lived and worked in Taos since 1987.

Suazo began his painting career using the empty pages in his mother’s encyclopedia set. In his sixth grade art class, the teacher, who knew of the Taos Society of Artists, introduced him to southwest art.

While attending high school in Denver, Suazo took the highest level art classes available by the time he was a junior. He started out with pencil on paper doing wildlife drawings. His father taught him how to sketch using free sketch technique, which is drawing without looking at the sketchpad. Suazo is also a self-taught artist in the mediums of monotypes painting, drawing and pastels.

After graduation, Suazo attended the Institute of American Indian Arts (IAIA) in Santa Fe. Influences in his life include his parents, grandparents, and also his great-grandfather; who was a model for E.L. Cause and Joseph Sharp. Suazo became serious about painting and started using canvases with pencil-like paints. He experimented with sizes ranging from miniature to large size canvas.

In the early years after moving back to Taos, Suazo was employed by artist Frank Howell in Santa Fe; working for his gallery doing tasks that included delivering paintings and mixing colors for artists who worked in the same medium.

Suazo has entered shows and has won awards for his paintings. Some of which include the Eight Northern Pueblos, the annual market SWAIA Indian Market, the Heard Museum in Phoenix, Millicent Rogers Museum, and many other places in the country. His pieces have also traveled around the world, shown in places such as England and Italy, and have been purchased by clients throughout the world.

Suazo’s paintings have a quiet, peaceful feeling and leave out all the noise of the modern world. An architect with color and texture, he uses paint to build the uneven wall, the layers of stone, the very ground of the Taos Pueblo. “We use whatever nature has to offer to make the homes we live in,” states Suazo.

Opening reception - Thursday October 11 from 4:00 to 6:00pm
Artist talk is Thursday, Oct 25 at 4pm.

Dreaming the Land exhibition features recent abstract oil paintings and works on paper by William Stewart and Brian Shields.Their work inspired by the landscape they each embrace allows one to experience intimate permeations of landscape in lyric conversation via complimentary abstract expressions.

Shields has been in the Taos area since 1969, Stewart since 1983. Together they have 80 cumulative years of painting the Taos landscape – both as plein air landscape painters and currently as abstract artists with cheerfully distinct sensibilities. Both artists spend periods of time painting in foreign landscapes – Stewart returns to Oaxaca where he first traveled in the 70s and now maintains a studio, Shields returns annually to his homeland in Cataluña, Spain.

When young and part of the 60’s -70’s avante garde scene in New York City, Stewart showed at O.K. Harris Gallery – one of the first SoHo galleries – and went on to exhibit at the Rudolph Zwirner Gallery in Koln, Germany, and at the Paris Biennale. He left NYC in the mid 70’s in search of connection with the landscape and began painting from nature. He traveled to Oaxaca, Mexico, where he lived for four years before moving to Taos in 1983. Excited by the beauty of the landscape of Northern New Mexico, he painted plein air for many years. Stewart has also taught at UNM-Taos, since it’s beginnings in 1993. “My recent abstract work is rooted in nature, the landscape of Oaxaca , the Taos valley, my garden, and travels to the sea. Dreaming the Land will feature oil paintings, watercolors and lithographs painted last winter that I call the Oaxaca Series.” For a review of Stewarts’ recent abstracts see: https://hamptonsarthub.com/2017/05/15/reviews-art-review-william-stewart-commits-to-abstraction-in-watermill-center-show/ and

Shields’ formative years were spent in Barcelona, Paris, New York City, and San Francisco. He came to the Taos area to teach art, and with characteristic passion became intimately familiar with the wildest places in the Southern Rocky Mountains, both as a mountain and river guide and as an environmental advocate. Shields says of his art practice: “I paint what I have absorbed, what has become a part of me. The imagery that is revealed comes from my love for and interactions with landscape, with the sea, with life. The act of painting is a process of emotional and intellectual ardor, sometimes resulting in upheaval, but more often than not waking me up to a grateful co-existence with the unknown.” See: http://www.brianshieldsart.com.

Director: Rungano Nyoni, UK/France/Germany/Zambia, Runtime 1hr 33mins, Not Rated, Drama, 2017

Note that the Sunday matinee starts at 1pm!

This is the debut film from Zambian-born director Rungano Nyoni. It tells the story of a young girl, Shula, accused of witchcraft after a trivial mishap. The phenomenon in Zambia relates not to a cackling Shakespearean witch, but a relatively innocuous kind. These witches change the weather, read minds, and would fly away if untethered. Although the subject matter is alarming, the narrative mostly filters through the comedy of its absurdity. But a deeper meaning flutters behind the comedy, like the platform behind a racing train.

Tickets are $8.50 general admission, $7.00 for TCA Members and $5.00 for youth 17 and under.

November 4-7
Sun 2pm, Mon-Wed 7pm
Director: Bjorn Runge, USA, Runtime 1hr 40mins, Rated R, Drama, 2017

This is an exceptionally compelling critique of patriarchal society, and based on Meg Wollitzer's novel. This drama surrounds the heated marriage between a husband and wife, Joe and Joan Castleman. Joe is slated to receive a Nobel Prize in Stockholm for achievements in literary excellence. While in Stockholm with his wife, hard truths begin to spill out that have profound effects on the two individuals as a couple. The film is a masterpiece from start to finish, as it manages to excel in acting, writing, score, and cinematography. Glenn Close's performance as Joan is most certainly Oscar-worthy and Jonathan Price while playing Joe creates a powerful character study of pervasive self-absorption and dishonesty in each frame.

Tickets are $8.50 general admission, $7.00 for TCA Members and $5.00 for youth 17 and under.

Reception for the artist on Thursday, November 15, 4-6pm.

J. Matthew Thomas converts discarded consumer waste into constructed landscapes. Using the tools of the architect, he builds surfaces; and through a process of adding and subtracting, he creates new configurations of contemporary environments. Through this series of actions Thomas contemplates our occupation of space, the making of place, and ultimately the control we have exerted over land. Read as maps, drawings, or blueprints for the contemporary landscape, this phenomenological approach exposes consumerism and our objectified perspective of land, revealing a ‘new nature’ in the Anthropocene.

For this fall 2018 solo show, Thomas’s work reveals another departure in pattern making. For Muted, the patterns are moving away from a strict sense of control and order to a fractured and disjointed display. With the use of gray, whites and blacks, so too are the works moving away from color and becoming Muted.

Thomas explains, “The breaking of these patterns is as freeing as it is frightening. Repetition is comforting, but nothing in life is static, nothing is pure, and as we are discovering, we can’t take anything for granted. This unease of shifting global attitudes (political, environmental, socio-cultural) are exhausting. I found myself desperate to find a calmness in the chaos, and calmed by the monotone colors.”

J. Matthew Thomas is an artist, architect and community organizer based in Taos, New Mexico. He uses the tools of architecture to explore both social and aesthetic patterns, confronting issues of identity through community activation and material culture. With solo exhibitions at Central Features in Albuquerque, and at the Taos Center for the Arts, Thomas’s mixed-media paintings are well known throughout New Mexico. His work has also been exhibited in Germany and at Vivian Horan Fine Art in New York City. He received the Visionary Artist Award from the Peter & Madeleine Martin Foundation for the Creative Arts in 2015.
Thomas creates platforms for local engagements through The Paseo Project, an initiative that fuses art and temporary events as the impetus for community involvement and transformation. He regularly curates events and community programs at The Harwood Museum of Art, Pecha Kucha Night Taos, and The Paseo Project. Thomas received a Bachelor of Arts in Architecture from Kansas State University and a Master of Arts in Architecture and Urban Design from Columbia University.

Captured live in 2011 from the National Theatre stage in London, this thrilling, sold-out production became an international sensation, experienced by almost half a million people in cinemas around the world.

Directed by Academy Award®-winner Danny Boyle (Trainspotting, Slumdog Millionaire), Frankenstein features Benedict Cumberbatch (Hamlet, BBC’s Sherlock) as the mad doctor Victor Frankenstein and Jonny Lee Miller (Elementary, Trainspotting) as his creation.

Childlike in his innocence but grotesque in form, Frankenstein’s bewildered creature is cast out into a hostile universe by his horror-struck maker. Meeting with cruelty wherever he goes, the increasingly desperate and vengeful Creature determines to track down his creator and strike a terrifying deal.
Scientific responsibility, parental neglect, cognitive development and the nature of good and evil, are embedded within this thrilling and deeply disturbing classic tale.

The real thing, people.

Martin Sexton returns with what Rolling Stone calls his soul-marinated voice, acoustic guitar, and a suitcase full of heartfelt songs.

This tour will feature Martin trying out new material, as well as reinventing his own classics for these critically-acclaimed solo performances.

Still fiercely independent and headlining venues from The Fillmore to Carnegie Hall, he has influenced a generation of contemporary artists. His songs have appeared in television series such as Scrubs, Parenthood, Masters of Sex and in numerous films, though it's his incendiary live show, honest lyrics, and vocal prowess that keep fans coming back for a new experience every time.

Chris Trapper is a storyteller. With his soulful, honeyed tenor, sly humor and an uncanny knack for melody, Chris has traveled the world over, performing to a dedicated and ever growing fan base with nothing but his guitar and his songs. Raised on Prine and Kristofferson, Trapper's first foray in the music industry was as frontman of the critically acclaimed alt-rock band The Push Stars. Over the past decade, Chris has become a modern day acoustic troubadour, performing over 150 dates a year as a headliner and sharing the stage with the likes of Colin Hay, Martin Sexton and even John Prine himself.

George Winston grew up mainly in Montana, and also spent his later formative years in Mississippi and Florida. During this time, his favorite music was instrumental rock and instrumental R&B, including Floyd Cramer, the Ventures, Booker T & The MG's, Jimmy Smith, and many more. Inspired by R&B, jazz, blues and rock (especially the Doors), George began playing organ in 1967. In 1971 he switched to the acoustic piano after hearing recordings from the 1920s and the 1930s by the legendary stride pianists Thomas "Fats" Waller and the late Teddy Wilson. In addition to working on stride piano, he also at this time came up with this own style of melodic instrumental music on solo piano, called folk piano. In 1972, he recorded his first solo piano album, Ballads and Blues 1972, for the late guitarist John Fahey's Takoma label.

Since then, George has released thirteen solo piano albums: Autumn (1980), Winter Into Spring (1982), December (1982), Summer (1991), Forest (1994), Linus & Lucy—The Music of Vince Guaraldi (1996), Plains (1999), which was inspired by his Eastern Montana upbringing, Night Divides the Day—The Music of The Doors (2002), Montana—A Love Story (2004), Gulf Coast Blues & Impressions—A Hurricane Relief Benefit (2006), Love Will Come—The Music of Vince Guaraldi, Vol. 2 (2010), Gulf Coast Blues & Impressions 2—A Louisiana Wetlands Benefit (2012), and Spring Carousel—A Cancer Research Benefit (2016). The songs from Spring Carousel were composed in 2013 while Winston was recovering from a bone marrow transplant.

This concert will feature George's Winter Show, which will include melodic fall and winter type songs, some of Vince Guaraldi's Peanuts pieces, pieces inspired by the New Orleans piano and the stride piano traditions, and songs from his upcoming albums.

BAFTA Award-winning actress Vanessa Kirby (The Crown) and Eric Kofi Abrefa (The Amen Corner) feature in the cast of this brand new production, directed by Carrie Cracknell (NT Live: The Deep Blue Sea).

Wild and newly single, Julie throws a late night party. In the kitchen, Jean and Kristina clean up as the celebration heaves above them. Crossing the threshold, Julie initiates a power game with Jean – which rapidly descends into a savage fight for survival.

It’s 1786 and King George III is the most powerful man in the world. But his behaviour is becoming increasingly erratic as he succumbs to fits of lunacy. With the King’s mind unravelling at a dramatic pace, ambitious politicians and the scheming Prince of Wales threaten to undermine the power of the Crown, and expose the fine line between a King and a man.

What’s involved in sacrificing your private life and your piece of mind for something more than a single issue? Does she dare?
