We Mills: My Hometown
opening reception: Saturday, August 3, 5-7 pm
on view: August 3–31, 2024

203 Fine Art is pleased to present a solo exhibition by the esteemed Taos artist Wes Mills. Born in Tucson, AZ, in 1960, the deserts of the Southwest subtly emerge every few decades in Mills’ oeuvre, serving as pertinent inspiration. These new works evoke a sense of sentimentality in their familiar figurations of cacti and found objects.

The artworks included consist of “Cacti Boxes” and rusted tin cans with shaped and painted wood found on the artist’s property in Ojo Caliente. These organic forms serve as dynamic mediums for an artist so well-known for his minimal drawings on paper. The artistic “Cacti boxes” are artifacts in themselves, carefully carved and painted. But it is what lies inside that provides the viewer with a unique experience.
