At the Spring Gallery Walk in Durango

At the Spring Gallery Walk in Durango

The Red House Gallery didn’t open its doors in May, but I have been busy checking out local art, here in town and up in Denver.
If you missed DAWDLE, the art walk organized by the Durango Youth Coalition, you missed out.  The show was magnificent (and I hardly ever use that word).
Not many surprises at the Spring Gallery Walk in Durango, but I did have a good time.  I just wish the galleries on Main would stop thinking so much about the tourist looking for “Southwestern Art” and start thinking about local collectors who are looking for something good, original and challenging.
Lots of cow and animal art at the Spring Gallery Walk

Denver has a lot of the sort of pop L.A.-type art that I and every other young collector around is into right now.  Check out these pieces I found in a Denver brewery:

And as for the Red House Gallery, I’m ridiculously excited about the next show.

Here’s the down-low:  In and out of Line: The work of Two Emerging Artists, opens from 5 to 9 p.m. Saturday, June 20, at The Red House Gallery, 118 W. Mill St. in Bayfield. The show will feature the art of Nate Schnell and Dakotah Andreatta. Schnell’s work focuses on precise line work, balance and design while Andreatta’s work focuses on content and color, the later of which often bleeds through his line work for a bit of a chaotic but beautiful finish. The works are different, but similar in their young, pop-art tone

Here’s a piece by Dakotah that caused a stir of excitement at DAWDLE:

The Red House will then take July off and open on August 15 from 6 to 9 p.m. with a solo show featuring the works of Tirzah Camacho, who took some time off to have a baby and is finally back with new works never seen in the area.

I meant to post a link to this article about The Red House Gallery in the Telegraph a long time ago.  Now ’tis done.

The Durango Herald paid our little gallery a visit last weekend and wrote some very nice things.  Read the article here.  Then get out your little black book and mark down the next show, which is happening Sunday, May 17, at 118 West Mill St. in Bayfield.

And if you missed last Saturday’s show, here are a few photos of some of the artwork:

The Return to Simple Living by Mike Maxwell

"The Return to Simple Living" by Mike Maxwell

We’re a brand-new, contemporary-art gallery located in beautiful Bayfield, Colorado right on Mill Street in the center of town. Our first show opening is in March, and if all goes well, we’ll be holding openings on a regular basis. The first art exhibition will simply be a  showing of our own personal collection of paintings and prints from San Diego and Tijuana emerging artists. We hope to show that even young, poor people like us can afford to own original art. ;)

If you’re an artist in the Four Corners area and interested in showing your work with us, send an e-mail to kinsee@theredhousegallery.com.
