Pablo Milan at Mirada Fine Art, southwestern LAYERS

Pablo Milan at Mirada Fine Art, 9.21.2012

We had an amazing opening night at Mirada Fine Art for Pablo Milan's new exhibition, 'southwestern LAYERS.'  The images of Pablo's southwestern heritage explode onto the canvas with loose brushstrokes revealing expressionistic versions of horsemen, danvers, and warriors.  His prestigious resume includes highlights such as 'Spanish Artist of the Year.'  If you weren't able to make the opening, you can still see the entire exhibit through October 14th.

In 2010, Mirada Fine Art was absolutely thrilled to bring legendary southwestern artist Pablo Milan to Colorado for our very first solo exhition.  On September 21st,  Mr. Milan returns to Colorado to again unveil a brand new exhibit, 'Southwestern Layers.'  This remarkable exhibition will highlight Milan’s mastery of expressionistic art, with his traditional subjects of Native American horsemen, dancers and warriors, depicted in a very non-traditional manner.

As one of the Southwest’s most prominent and recognized artists, Pablo Milan has long been viewed as highly collectible.  His distinctive contemporary look is known for its bright and powerful style.  Mr. Milan draws from his New Mexican heritage, seamlessly incorporating Latin American figures with Native American scenes into his paintings.  A fifth-generation New Mexican, Pablo Milan literally has been immersed in the rich culture of the Four Corners area his entire life.  The huge influence of, and respect for, Native Americans is clearly reflected in his pieces.  Much of his subject matter is drawn from his experiences watching the dances and ceremonies at the Pueblo of Laguna.  Incorporating broad brushstrokes, delicate washes and heavy textures, almost ghostly horsemen and their animals emerge from his expressionistic pieces.

“I have a great respect for Native Americans, what they have done, and what they have tried to teach us,” Milan has said.  “My use of color shows the power, boldness and beauty of the culture.  I exaggerate those elements to make them the center of attention.”  He is less interested in representing the figures literally than conveying the feeling of what he paints.  The intense variations of color and hue evident in his pieces place focus on the colorful spirit and environment of his heritage and Santa Fe home.

Mr. Milan’s works are enjoyed in private and corporate collections throughout the world. Over a long and prestigious career, he has garnered innumerable awards, including Spanish Artist of the Year.

We are absolutely thrilled to introduce our newest artist to Mirada Fine Art, Lyudmila Agrich.  Lyudmila was born in Russia, and spent much of her childhood in the beautiful city of Odessa by the Black Sea.  She spent several years in musical school and the school of fine arts for children, and eventually received a bachelor degree in Architecture and Fine Arts. After practicing architecture for a few years in the Ukraine, she moved to the United States, and in 2001 decided that her true calling was as a full-time artist.

Lyudmila replaced her paintbrush with a palette knife in order to create bolder, brighter images. Her style is expressionistic impressionism, and her primary focus is to capture intimate moments in ordinary life.  No matter what she is painting, whether it be a landscape or a small cafe, she wants her paintings to speak in the language of human feelings. 

Definitely come by Mirada Fine Art to see Lyudmila's work in person...the photos don't do them justice.  The texture and movement will amaze you!

Tim Howe at Mirada Fine Art, Opening Reception of 'Nature's Elements' on 8.12.2012.

We had a wonderful opening reception for Tim Howe's 'Nature's Elements' exhibition last Friday night.      If you weren't able to attend, this exhibition will be hanging in the gallery through September 2nd.  (Of course, if you can't make it during this time frame, you can always see Tim's work in the gallery, just not as much hanging at one time.)

Born in a country where awesome beauty abounds, Tim Howe was surrounded by the vastness and overwhelming majesty of New Zealand’s landscape.  It is here where he was first inspired to express nature’s limitless splendor through his art.  "I find myself using nature’s elements, along with its’ shapes and images, and subsequently interpreting them on canvas in a bolder, more graphic way.”

Mr. Howe’s work is collected globally and can be seen in in the background of numerous movies, television shows, and commercials including 'Glee,' ‘Transformers’ and ‘Grey’sAnatomy.’   This was Mr. Howe's first exhibition in Colorado.
