New Grounds celebrates 12th Anniversary
Found in Nature: Etchings by Japanese Masterprinter Ando Shinji opens First Friday. New Grounds is proud to introduce to New Mexico this extremely accomplished artist. Shinji’s botanical etchings merge Western and Japanese sensibilities. His images often emanate out of a soft shadow into subdued light, giving them a sense of wonder, as if seen unexpectedly in their inherent beauty. Shinji will discuss the multi-plate etching process from 6:30-7 pm. The show continues through September 27. The evening’s celebration also marks the 12th Anniversary of New Grounds so there will be music, always great food, and two raffles. Win a $250 gift certificate for art or a class of your choice. Be sure to go next door to Matrix Fine Art for the opening of Dwelling in the Form: Etchings and Paintings by Takahiko Hayashi plus a bonus exhibition of new work by Emily Trovillion and Frank McCulloch. Emily was named one of New Mexico’s top 150 artists in the June/July 2008 Santa Fean Magazine and Frank is one of twelve artists awarded the title of Local Treasure as part of a month-long celebration of the arts in Albuquerque. He is indeed a local icon who has greatly contributed to the arts as teacher, artist and musician. Both openings are part of First Friday Artscrawl citywide.

Preview of Allan Rosenfield’s Both Ways
Both Ways, an exhibit of paintings by Allan Rosenfield opens at Artspace 116 Artscrawl evening. Painted on both sides of large sheets of untreated and unstretched canvas, the pieces are freehanging and loosely draped over rods in a manner that resembles kimonos or robes. His paintings are washes of color and the acrylic and mixed media pigment often bleeds from one side of the canvas to the other. The pieces may be draped in reverse to take on a totally different character, allowing the viewer to imagine the piece Both Ways. Rosenfield’s studies include the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. He received a Fulbright fellowship in the 80s to study at the Osaka University of the Arts in Japan. His work has been shown in Japan and across the US. He now lives in Albuquerque. I am familiar with Rosenfield’s work and was delighted to learn that these beautiful, large pieces would be on display in such an attractive space. The combination of talent and presentation is magnificent. If you haven’t seen his work - or haven’t visited Artspace 116, this is a must stop Artscrawl evening. I promise you won’t be disappointed. The exhibit will be on display through April 4. For information on the other galleries participating in the Downtown Artscrawl, visit the Artscrawl website.

Art in Film Series premiers at the Guild in March
Albuquerque Art Business Association (AABA) and albuquerqueARTS Magazine are co-sponsoring the first in a series of Art on Film events at the Guild Theater in Albuquerque. You are invited to view Rape of Europa which will screen . The Rape of Europa tells the epic story of the systematic theft, deliberate destruction and miraculous survival of Europe’s art treasures during the Third Reich and the Second World War. In a journey through seven countries, the film takes the audience into the violent whirlwind of fanaticism, greed, and warfare that threatened to wipe out the artistic heritage of Europe. The Rape of Europa begins and ends with the story of artist Gustav Klimt’s famed Gold Portrait, stolen from Viennese Jews in 1938 and now the most expensive painting ever sold. Today, more than sixty years later, the legacy of this tragic history continues to play out as families of looted collectors recover major works of art, conservators repair battle damage, and nations fight over the fate of ill-gotten spoils of war. View the trailer.

The Motor Kings are recognized nationally for their electrifying high energy performances and powerful delivery. If you like the blues with a little edge, this band is for you. The band is considered by fans everywhere as one of the “most dynamic and critically acclaimed groups performing on the concert stage today.” After experiencing this band’s blistering presentation, the fans and music critics agree that Julie Stewart and the Motor Kings deliver the goods!

Julie Stewart from Dallas Texas, and The Motor Kings: Gregg Woodfin ~ Los Angeles California, Rob Heineman ~ Flint, Michigan, Roddy Welles ~ Boston, Massachusetts, and Tom Briggs ~ Dayton, Ohio, deliver strong vocals, blended harmonies, and searing solos that punctuate their unique style and powerful delivery.
