At the AltaMira gallery in Scottsdale I saw some great art pieces from an artist new to me. His name is Rocky Hawkins.
This is one of his paintings and the one I liked the best. Hawkins style is abstract expressionism and I can see the abstract nature and I can see the expressionism. This one is called Inner Landscape. I love it.
Here is another one of his paintings. This one is very Rothko-like in its style. This one is called Transformation No. 10.
I love learning about artists whose work is new to me.
The gallery also had this painting by the late Native American artist John Nieto. Nieto has a huge following for his bold paintings. This one was priced at $60,000, a price that speaks to his popularity among collectors. I'm glad I got to see it and photograph it.
That is a lot of money for a painting. I like the abstract work more.
ReplyDeleteI love discovering new to me artists as well. It's great getting to see inside your galleries all the way over on the other side of the world.
ReplyDeleteA great day out.
ReplyDeleteI really like that 1st one too, Sharon.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your fun day out and new artist discovery. I really like the "Rothko" painting.
ReplyDeleteAbstract art is not my cup of tea, but I like the first painting.
ReplyDeleteNative art is very special. Love it.
The first painting is my favourite.
ReplyDeleteThank you for showing these arts that I would not have seen otherwise
ReplyDeleteIt's interesting how Southwestern-themed art is such a "thing." Does any other region of the country have such specific styles of art? What would Illinois art look like? Or New York art? I suppose Florida has some regional art.
