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.

Artist's Books About the Five Elements -Tibetan

By Jane M Farmer

Jane Farmer is an active member of the Taos Book Arts group. In September she gave a lecture at SOMOS on some of the origins of papermaking. In 2000 she brought Tibetan artisans from Kathmandu, Nepal to Washington DC to participate in the Smithsonian Folklife Festival: Tibet Beyond the Land of Snows. Along with other members of the Book Arts Group, Jane continues to expand and perfect her book making skills.

The five elements of Tibetan philosophy parallel those of most other cosmologies: Earth (Sa), Water (Chu), Fire (Tummo), Wind (Lung), and Space/Emptiness/Ether (Sunyata). When I began learning western bookmaking techniques, I created a series of books on the elements in order to practice the different binding techniques.

With my limited knowledge of the Tibetan language, it was interesting to find the Tibetan word that seemed most appropriate for both cultures.

1. sa = earth

This is a flag book form using different papers for the layers of the earth. The cover is walnut dyed Himalayan paper, treated with encaustic wax.

2. tummo = fire

This is a Coptic bound book using papers first washed with sumi ink, printed parchment, and printed Himalayan papers. The different papers were first printed and included in the signatures of the book before binding. The content is selections pertaining to fire.

3. chu = water

This is a long stitch binding with tabs. The sewn spine is exposed under the tabs that attach to the cover. The pages of the book have been treated with sumi ink before binding. The texts relate to water and are printed on parchment and tipped in [glued along the gutter edge to the bound pages]. The cover papers are walnut dyed Himalayan bark paper. The collaged elements on the cover depict the traditional designs for water used by thangka painters in Tibet. The cover is treated with encaustic wax.

4. lung = wind/air/breath

This is a long stitch binding over tabs. The sewn spine is exposed under the tabs that attach to the cover. The pages of the book have been treated with sumi ink before binding. The texts and illustrations relate to wind/air/breath and are printed on parchment and tipped in [glued along the gutter edge to the bound pages]. The cover is an encaustic monotype.

5. sunyata = emptiness/ether/void I

This is a simple accordion fold book using Himalayan lokta [Daphne bhuloa] paper. The cover is an encaustic monotype on Himalayan paper and treated with encaustic wax.

6. sunyata = emptiness/ether/void II

This is a double accordion fold book. The book pages are handmade western-style cotton paper. The inserted accordion is an encaustic monotype, as is the front cover image.

YOU ARE INVITED!

Anyone interested in participating in the Taos Book Arts Group's FREE Introductory Bookmaking Workshop at SOMOS –Civic Plaza Drive, at 5:00 pm, Thursday, November 1st, please call or email Jane Farmer at 575-776-3139 or janemfarmer@stanfordalumni.org. Space is limited.y

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.

The real thing, people.
—Billboard

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).

Written by one of Britain’s best-loved playwrights Alan Bennett (The History Boys, The Lady in the Van), this epic play was also adapted into a BAFTA Award-winning film following its premiere on stage in 1991.

The cast of this new production includes Olivier Award-winners Mark Gatiss (Sherlock, Wolf Hall, NT Live Coriolanus) in the title role, and Adrian Scarborough (Gavin and Stacey, Upstairs Downstairs, After the Dance).

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.
