ew Concept Gallery is delighted to invite you to experience Searching for Beyul, a solo exhibit showcasing the talent of renowned New Mexico artist Jane Abrams. The show will also see the debut of Abrams’ book, Searching for Beyul, which presents over six dozen examples of her work spanning her artistic career, with representative pieces from every major period. In the introduction to her book, Abrams writes, “Ancient Sanskrit texts tell of hidden lands high in the Himalayas, abounding in vegetation and wildlife found nowhere else on earth. The ancient words tell of wild rivers encircling mountain peaks and majestic waterfalls that guard the entrance to what is believed to be the mythical place of ‘Beyul’, a Tibetan word referring to a place where the physical and spiritual worlds mingle. As I venture beyond my studio, whether the destination is the jungles of Costa Rica, forests of Maine or the fields and acequias near my home in New Mexico, I think of the hidden places spoken of in the historic writings. I observe the plants where I am as though they were the mythical residents of Beyul. My continuing thoughts of ‘Beyul’ over the years have spawned an ongoing group of paintings depicting larger than life plants and the magical places they inhabit. My intent is for the paintings to be that place where the physical and spiritual worlds mingle.” Abrams’ 2021 exhibition will feature several of her most recent paintings, as well as significant works from her Asia and Mexico & Central America series.
