Exhibition Spotlight

The New West

GL Richardson & Morgan Irons

In this, the first of its new series of exhibitions entitled The New West, the Gallery looks to yet the next generation for their perception of the American West. It is pleased to present the visual expressions of lived experience in it by Morgan Irons and GL Richardson who epitomize two markedly different responses but who share crucial attributes essential for inclusion in the exhibition: their works possess creative originality, aesthetic beauty, emotional power, transformative import, technical accomplishment, and socially inflected meaning relevant to the contemporary time.

David LIgare:

Unearthing the Ethos of Arête

Over a distinguished career spanning more than four decades, Ligare has dedicated his practice to what Plato called the "eros of the beautiful," creating radiant landscapes and allegorical narratives rooted in Greco-Roman Humanism. His assertive and pristine paintings explore how visual order, structure, and balance offer an indispensable counter-proposition to the complexities of the contemporary world.

Artist Spotlight
Bettie Ward

American. 1947

Ward's effervescent work is undoubtedly influenced by her colorful life and experiences. The artist was raised on a ranch in Texas, and her early life was shaped by the wildness of the western landscape. She began riding horses at a young age, and became a top ten Saddlebred rider in the United States for six years. Even now, Ward's childhood experiences and ties with animals inform her practice. She writes "in the making of objects, they are like talking to my horse, urging him to go on, feeling him under me as we fly around the ring. It is ever magic—not analysis but intuition, streams of consciousness, poetry and embraces.”
