Current Exhibition
Julie Maren: Pageantry and the Inanimate Forest
July 1 - August 8, 2008
Reception Friday July 18th 5 - 9 pm
ArtHaus66 is pleased to bring to New Mexico the stunning paintings of Julie Maren. These large scale paintings offer a furtive view of the secret life of animals in an otherwise inert world. The canvases are populated by very diverse creatures that elicit from the viewer an intense emotional reaction that ranges from apprehension to melancholy.
Julie Maren's Statement About the Work:
Pageantry is a work in progress. Essentially, this series explores the
relationship of morality and nature, in harmony and in conflict, through
the ambiguous lens of my Catholic upbringing. For me, this narrative
continues to evolve and requires further exploration. For the viewer, I
encourage his own feelings and interpretations.
My personal influences for this work include the films of Ingmar
Bergman, Victorian naturalists and subsequent issues between science and
religion as well as my work as a textile designer.
Just 5 minutes East of Nob Hill in the historic Cal-Linn building.
One block North of Central and half block East of San Pedro.

A fascination with the harsh environment of the desert Southwest has inspired Howard
