It’s a bit early in the season in these parts, but Spring came shipped by air from a very far away place… A Mechanical Rose emerged from a bundle sent by Javier Albar…A gorgeous, intricate new piece that speaks of his own development as an artist…

There are other images included in this group that merit mention as well…All are masterfully crafted and uniquely Albar…The style and sure hand of this master printer inequivocally shows in his artwork…

Enjoy and do consider that only a few (sometimes as few as 4) of each one are printed…His editions are often quite small and sought after…

On Thursday, January 21st those lucky enough to be in Madrid will have the chance to visit Brita Prinz Gallery to view some of Juan Pablo Villalpando’s newest work.

What a pleasant experience it is to rest your eyes on these drawings, composed with exceptional honesty and simplicity. The lines are concise and the colors few, well chosen…Houses, short and clear…Legs, static and strangely furry…Man or animal?

The images prompt many associations and leave no mind-stone unturned. Follow them where they may take you…

Who hasn’t had dreams of visiting far away lands? Getting to experience new sights and cultures enrich the life of the traveler and, in the case of an artist, no doubt develop into deeper, more cosmopolitan, more interesting work.

Javier Albar stopped dreaming and started moving a long time ago and has not stopped since. He has visited, in one capacity or another, many diverse countries all around the world.

Everyone knows that an image is worth a thousand words and no description, no matter how clever or detailed, could match the beauty of the many snapshots he collects during his travels…

Tonight we’ll have the chance to look up into the night sky and see December’s blue moon…It’s probably the very last time we’ll see it…until who knows when.

Coincidentally, the very first issue of our newsletter will appear as the blue moon goes down into the horizon…Find it in your inbox tomorrow morning, fresh from the oven and full of interesting info about ArtHaus66 and our favorite artists.
A few highlihts are the article from the Santa Fe New Mexican by Bob Quick in which he talks about the economic crisis with Geoffrey Gorman, one of our local sculptors…and the feature on Javier Albar, a graphic artist from Madrid, Spain whose work has found homes all around the world from Japan to Norway…

I hope you enjoy reading this monthly newsletter as much as we enjoy putting it together for you…

I really enjoyed this introduction to Tres Dimensiones written by Claudia Lopez… Very funny…

Subiéndose al carro de la moda de las tres dimensiones, Juan Pablo Villalpando nos muestra, en esta exposición, algunas de sus últimas paranoias en forma de dibujos. Nada nuevo bajo el sol, son casi las mismas imágenes de siempre, pero esta vez pasadas por el filtro de unas incomodas gafas que nos tendremos que poner p …ara ver toda la exposición. De esta forma veremos los dibujos en tres dimensiones (según nos cuenta el artista) ¡Cómo si hubiera alguna necesidad!, en fin, allá el.

La muestra la componen 15 litografías anaglíficas y algunas estampas digitales de menor tamaño que estarán expuestas hasta el próximo 16 de enero. Lo dicho, nada nuevo, pero como dice Juan Pablo, mirando las estampas, podremos pasar un rato divertido, aunque una servidora lo ha intentado y lo único que he conseguido en un mareo considerable, yo ya les he avisado.
