SUMMARY:Exhibition Opening: Marc Baseman and Wes Mills | Selected Works
DESCRIPTION:Studio light | space presents selected works by Marc Baseman and Wes Mills\, artists whose practices have developed in conversation since their arrival in Taos in 1991. Both have sustained careers of considerable scope: Mills represented in major collections from MoMA to the Whitney\, Baseman exhibiting across the country from the Harwood Museum onward. This exhibition focuses on the particular intensity of their drawing practice. \nBaseman’s compositions\, many measuring just over three inches on each side\, achieve their power through precision. Working at miniature scale\, he manipulates negative space and layered horizons to create depth that rewards sustained attention. Mills brings parallel rigor to his investigations of geometric abstraction\, balancing systematic structure with the warmth of individual mark-making. \nBoth artists have chosen concentration over expansion\, intimacy over spectacle. For each\, drawing functions as a method of inquiry. Constraint generates meaning. Reduction clarifies form. The viewer’s sustained attention changes what the work becomes. \nThe drawings gathered here are products of time. Decades of looking and making cohere in works that demand careful consideration. In an era that privileges speed and scale\, these works offer an alternative: evidence of what happens when artists commit fully to the surface before them with rigor and care. \nEmail

SUMMARY:Opening Reception: Solo Exhibition | Matt Magee | Elemental
DESCRIPTION:The work in this exhibition engages the concept of the elemental in both material and idea. Magee’s formal investigations respond to the spare architecture and light in the gallery and within the surfaces of the work itself. \nIn addition to paintings and prints\, the main gallery will feature an installation of sheets and shards of mica on panels. These works change with ambient light and the viewer’s position\, offering perceptual qualities in ways best experienced in person. \nABOUT THE ARTIST:\nMatt Magee is a painter\, sculptor\, and printmaker whose work explores the intersection of geometric abstraction\, language\, and personal iconography. He draws on personal history\, numerology\, and language to build forms that carry traces of travel and a lifetime of collecting. Repetition and sequencing give the compositions a meditative rhythm\, balancing warmth and rigor in his visual language. \nBorn in Paris in 1961\, Magee spent his early years moving between Tripoli\, London\, and Texas. His father\, a geologist and archaeologist\, took him on trips through the American Southwest\, where he began collecting small objects that would later inform his practice. As a young adult he worked on a seismic truck in Laredo\, Texas\, recording vibrations sent into the earth to determine underlying geologic formations. He later served as the chief photo archivist for the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation\, an experience that further shaped his way of looking and gathering. \nEmail
