By now, you are once again convinced that autumn in Northern New Mexico makes it like no other place. The cool nights and warm days encourage all sorts of activities, like the ones we share with you on these pages. The famous Santa Fe Wine & Chile Fiesta has already kicked off, and this weekend’s upcoming Grand Tasting is one of the highlights. This event may already have sold out, which is encouragement for you to get tickets early for next year. This event has the best foods and wines paired at a beautiful venue. Artistically, there’s a wide assortment of gallery art openings on Friday night., and this week promises to be especially good. Musically, I’m excited about two events. The Santa Fe Symphony begins its new season with a wonderful program including Brahms, Wagner, and Dvořrák. I’m also looking forward to seeing the terrific country/Americana singer Elizabeth Cook at Skylight. Elizabeth’s Southern roots give her an authenticity we don’t often hear. With a variety of events like this, you will not be bored over the next seven days. Enjoy the beautiful weather and a great week of activities.

Ron Pokrasso studio closing santa fe chamber of commerce
Bienvenidos Prior to 1961, the Women’s Division of the Chamber of Commerce defined tourism promotion by distributing brochures throughout the Mayor Gonzales with Bienvenidos members at the opening of the information booth earlier this year. Santa Fe Plaza. In 1961, their task was chartered by the Chamber, and in 1995, it was given the title we recognize today: Bienvenidos. Now, men are encouraged to become members, and the organization is listed under the Volunteer Division of the Chamber of Commerce. Translating to “welcome” in Spanish, Bienvenidos, now in its 55th year, lives up to its name. The nonprofit’s president, Joella Mortillaro, says over the past 10 years alone, Bienvenidos has served over 338,000 visitors, calling it the “concierge of Santa Fe.” Handing out maps, pamphlets, and other information from the months of May through October, the group serves visitors from across the globe at the Plaza Tourist Information Booth. Bienvenidos is fueled by the generosity of the Chamber of Commerce, local banks and businesses, and its members. With its nearly 100 volunteers, Mortillaro says this is the only allvolunteer-run organization in Santa Fe that greets tourists, adding, “Bienvenidos will continue greeting tourists and doing the great work it has done for 55 years as a staple of Santa Fe.”—ES

New Mexico has a long history of printmaking, and Ron Pokrasso has been at its forefront in recent decades. He owned and operated the Graphics Workshop in the 1980s and ’90s, teaching printmaking to others as well as printing his own work.

Randolph Duke As a child, Randolph Duke was surrounded by the performing arts, having been raised by his mother, a successful dancer in Las Vegas, and inspired by his grandfather, an accomplished concert pianist. With the design of his famous Los Angeles home, dubbed ‘Openhouse,’ Duke entered the world of interiors and architecture. He won the AIA Design Award in 2007, and his home was featured on the cover of the December 2007 issue of Architectural Digest. Duke continued his passion for interior design and architecture with his Costa Rican property Casa Eclipso, located in the magical town of Nosara. Now, Duke turns his efforts to ShowHouse Santa Fe 2016, promising an inspirational surprise with his Sunbrella collaboration for outdoor living and entertaining. September 22, 2016 NOW 7

Faces Legal Tender Restaurant and Saloon 151 Old Lamy Trail, Lamy, New Mexico September 23–25 Reception September 23, 6–9 pm
Tribal Law acrylic on canvas 32 x 28”
You’d probably recognize Ricky Lee if you saw him in town. The actor has appeared in several films and television series, including The Magnificent Seven (2016), The Ridiculous 6 (2015), Midnight Shanghai (2016), the upcoming films Ideal Home and Granite Mountain, and the Netflix series Godless. But his passion for the arts extends beyond the screen and onto canvas. Ricky Lee has been working with oils and acrylics since he began painting theater sets in 1982. “I started painting professionally when I was with the American Indian Theatre Company,” he says. “A lot of Native actors that you see on screen today came out of that same theater company, including Wes Studi and Rodney A. Grant.” “I like to portray stuff from New Mexico, and stuff in my environment, and stuff that I feel and see,” he explains about his work. This weekend, several of his paintings will hang at the Legal Tender Restaurant and Saloon in Lamy, in his exhibition titled Faces. The Legal Tender saloon is housed across from the quaint 19th-century Amtrak station in a building dating to 1881. While it is not your typical gallery space, it is the perfect setting for Ricky Lee’s artwork. In fact, he’s had a hand in the site’s recent transformation. “I’ve been helping out my friend who owns the Legal Tender in getting it a facelift—it hasn’t been painted in 20 years.” Ricky Lee’s talent truly does extend from the screen to sets, canvas, and beyond. —Amanda Jackson September 22, 2016 NOW 11

PROFILE
Homage to Braque, mixed media collage on board, 12 x 16"
Stephen Buxton creatively composed
by Stephanie Love
Stephen Buxton’s minimalist collages are crafted with spontaneity along with intricate detail. “My inspiration comes from many different periods of art,” Buxton says, “but the biggest influence is from the early-20th-century modernists, the movements of the Bauhaus, the cubists, the constructivists, and especially the Dadaists.” These movements embraced creating in many media and styles for more dynamic modes of expression. Although Buxton similarly values all artistic media and appreciates the roles they’ve played in his personal development, he has mastered collage—which he began practicing six years ago. Buxton’s career in event planning and window display design helped develop a well-trained aesthetic eye, which he skillfully implements in each artwork. For him, the pieces of a collage resemble the elements of a display; each has a unique, important part in the overall composition. He explains, “I see a connection now to my approach as being quite similar to window displays, in creating a vignette of sorts.” Beginning by gathering found objects—vintage and patterned papers, paint, metal, rubber, and cardboard—Buxton modifies these to form geometric shapes and specific parts for the image. Each artwork’s developmental stage is often the most important. Although Buxton has an initial idea for each piece, the impulsive manner in which he places components, paying attention to color and visual balance, truly establishes the composition. He emphasizes the importance of recognizing when a layout is complete, noting, “…the moment can be lost and overworked.” Currently, Buxton is exploring classical themes by re-creating his own versions of art history’s masterpieces; one such piece pays homage to Diego Velázquez’s famous Las Meninas. These works highlight the beauty of composition without complicated concepts or abstractions. Of his passion, Buxton says, “I truly believe that art is life, and I love my life as an artist.” 12

PREVIEWS
The Center for Contemporary Arts (CCA) presents the first-ever New Mexico solo exhibition by Albuquerque-born painter and cartoonist Robert Williams. Opening to the public on September 23, Slang Aesthetics! features over 30 paintings, an array of illustrations, and highlights from Williams’s time at Zap Comix. Having created controversial art throughout his career, Williams is also known for many accomplishments, such as introducing “lowbrow” to the fine arts vocabulary in 1979, contributing as a founder of Juxtapoz Art & Culture Magazine, and his notoriety for creating provocative, grotesque, and humorous narrative paintings and underground comics that cleverly critique common human and societal flaws.—Stephanie Love Robt.

Everglades: Time’s Discipline Phil Space 1410 Second St philspacesantafe.com Through October 7 With 40 years of experience, Mary Peck visits various parts of the world to photograph wilderness landscapes. Phil Space’s new show coincides with the launch of Peck’s Florida-focused book, Everglades: Time’s Discipline, featuring an essay by William deBuys. Captured 30 years ago, these Everglades images depict a place already distorted by the realities of climate change, representing the beauty of our natural world as well as the damages it faces.—SL Michael Furman, Portrait of 1931-1933 Alfa Romeo 8C 2300 Monza, 23 x 48"
Michael Furman, Alfa Portraits Patina Gallery, 131 W Palace patina-gallery.com Through September 25 Michael Furman is the official photographer for Concorso—the lauded annual gathering of classic, mostly motorized vehicles in Santa Fe. He is displaying his work at Patina Gallery through Sunday in conjunction with this year’s event, with a collection of almost reverential images of Concorso’s 2016 signature automobile, the Alfa Romeo. Furman’s eye shares the gleaming and glamorous curve of a preWWII model in black and white, along with the slick, bright red lines of its glossy 1975 counterpart. Through Furman’s lens, the 1954 BAT 7 has a futuristic aerospace aspect, and captures the idea of the Alfa Romeo’s legendary speed.—Anne Maclachlan September 22, 2016 NOW 13
