Matthews Gallery Launches FOLIO Works On Paper Show

ArtFeast exhibition will showcase innovative artwork at $500 and under
 
SANTA FE, N.M. - Jan. 29, 2014 - PRLog -- The annual Edible Art Tour offers an array of delicious appetizers from Santa Fe’s best restaurants, but its main course is a colorful feast for the eyes. This year, the February 21 ArtSmart charity walk will set the stage for the grand opening of FOLIO, a Matthews Gallery exhibition of unframed works on paper for $500 or less. The reception will run from 5-8 pm, with food provided by Museum Hill Cafe.

“The Edible Art Tour is a breezy event, so we’re showing artwork that’s quick to browse and easy to buy,” says owner Lawrence Matthews.

FOLIO will be an ongoing, rolling exhibition featuring paintings and prints by various artists from the gallery’s stable. Local artists Jamie Chase and Kate Rivers both experimented with new subject matter for the grand opening. Chase, known for his paintings of female nudes, will debut a series of abstract works. Rivers usually creates abstract collages from found objects, but will present figurative monotypes in FOLIO.

“Working on paper allows artists to innovate in a way that they can’t with more expensive materials,” says Matthews, who will also show several prints and paintings in the exhibition. “Gauguin’s experimen- tal prints are considered even more revolutionary than his paintings. FOLIO is about unleashing wild, spontaneous creativity.”

In addition to daring art, the FOLIO reception will offer bold flavors from Museum Hill Cafe. Located in Milner Plaza among the world-class museums of Museum Hill, the restaurant offers American, French and Southwest-inspired cuisine, a fine selection of wine and beer, and beautiful views of the area. For Matthews Gallery’s Edible Art Tour stop, Museum Hill Cafe will serve up its signature corn pudding.

Come try delicious food at the Edible Art Tour and view incredible art in FOLIO on Friday, February 21 from 5-8 pm. Tickets are available on the ArtSmart website.
