Blanco y Negro, a new exhibition at Luna Gallery, opens Wednesday January 5. The opening reception for the public is 6 to 8pm. The show features a variety of work from abstract to realism by Mark R. Jay, David Robb, Lucila Santiago, Nan Robb, Glen Rogers, Rafael Avila Tirado, and Karen von Felten. Paintings, prints and drawings range from bold graphic, high-contrast black and white to subtle tonal variations on the grayscale.

Karen von Felten, a California artist currently living in San Miguel de Allende shows her exquisite charcoal drawings of women's garments. Her “Wedding Dragon”, 96 inches by 51”, is a showstopper. Lucila Santiago, well known for her distinctive abstract paintings, shows new work from her Sideral Shipyard series. Glen Rogers exhibits images of her ‘Vessels’, a large charcoal drawing as well as monotypes that speak of ancient cultures and their rituals. David Robb exhibits his famous PIGS - oil on canvas, this time in a grid of 9, as well as an interesting collaged chair installation. Rafael Avila's bold and wonderful woodcuts of children flying through the air are something to see! Mark Jay's monotypes printed on found book pages (Expatriate in Spanish) hark back to Bauhaus forms and graphics. Nan Robb's minature monotypes of antique toys evokes nostalgia for a bygone era. It's an interesting show - one not to miss!

The show will be up through January 29.
