Johnnie Winona Ross: Traces

New Mexico Museum of Art

Santa Fe, NM

August 13, 2010 to January 9, 2011
Exhibit

Place and process are integral to the works of Arroyo Seco artist Johnnie Winona Ross, who is known for his reductive and luminous paintings that are comprised of layers upon layers of paint brushed, dripped, scraped and burnished to an extraordinary finish. The horizon, the quality of light, the seepage of water or traces of ancient cultures on a canyon wall-these elements of the landscape all inform Ross' grid-based paintings. This small but compelling exhibition, the artist's first solo museum show since moving to New Mexico in 1999, will consist primarily of never-before-exhibited paintings.
