NEW TO THE COLLECTION

Meyer Gallery is pleased to welcome Swedish painter Gustav Sundin to the gallery.

Through carefully observed interiors, Sundin finds quiet beauty in the evidence of everyday life. Meals finished, chairs left askew, and light moving across familiar rooms become lasting records of human presence. We are proud to present Gustav Sundin's American debut and introduce his work to collectors in the United States.

CURRENT CATALOG

William C. Hook's vision of the Southwest has defined his career for more than five decades. His landscapes render the region in its essential terms: wide sky, low horizon, distant mountain, textured earth. The brushwork is broad and assured, built in acrylic, and it has earned Hook standing as one of the region's most recognized colorists.

Hook's connection to New Mexico began at the University of New Mexico, where his cousin, art historian Bainbridge Bunting, introduced him to the pueblos and villages of the Rio Grande valley. He has painted this territory ever since. The Taos Society painters, particularly Victor Higgins and E. Martin Hennings, shaped his sense of structure and his handling of high-desert light. His subjects have remained constant: adobe walls, turquoise doorways, cottonwoods along an acequia, the back roads into villages like El Rito. These paintings function as records of a place he has spent a lifetime observing.

This year's exhibition includes a small group of abstract works alongside the landscapes. Limited in number, they show Hook's interest in line and form, developed alongside his traditional color relationships.

The work will be on view through August 20 

Artist Reception to meet Hook

UPCOMING SOLO EXHIBITION

Francis Livingston: Into The Quiet

Meyer Gallery has represented Livingston for many years. This exhibition continues that relationship and reflects how consistently his paintings have held their footing, remaining grounded in a specific region while remaining open to the larger questions that serious painting tends to raise.

The title Into the Quiet is accurate to the experience of standing in front of this work. The Southwest Livingston paints is still without being empty, and familiar without being settled.

An opening reception will be held Friday, August 21, from 4 to 6 pm, with the artist present. The exhibition is free and open to the public.

Into The Quiet is on veiw August 21 to September 3.
