Drawings: Line & Form

The December exhibition at Luna Gallery is all about drawings featuring works in charcoal, pencil, oil pastel and ink by Cynthia Handel, Yolanda Lopez, Wendy Leon, Elina Chauvet, Claudia Gallardo, Rafael Avila Tirado, Manuel Carlock, Glen Rogers, Lucila Santiago, Carlos Z and a few pieces from my collection by Dave Kempken and Victor Bagno.

Most every artwork begins with a quick sketch on paper, but drawing can also be an end in itself. Pencil, paper, charcoal, and ink are the original artist tools allowing spontaneity, raw energy, or refined detail. Come enjoy these engaging works by local and guest artists.

Luna Gallery opens the 2013 Season with 'Perspectives'

Local Musicians help set the mood for the Opening of the Season.

Perpectives is a group exhibition showing new work by Luna’s favorite artists in Mazatlán.  Of the 7 artists, Rafael Avila Tirado, Manuel Carlock, David Robb, Nan Robb, Glen Rogers, Lucila Santiago, and Carlos Z., each has their own highly developed style, their own vision of the world. This world view from each artist comes through in their paintings, prints and drawings and is unique in its own right.  What each artist chooses to paint says a lot about their attitude and approach to life. Whether with wry humor as in the work of David Robb, work that delves into the spiritual realm from Glen Rogers, or the street smarts from urban artist Carlos Z. – each artist definitely has their own perspective.

Luna to Resume Regular Hours in November

Luna Gallery closes its doors for the summer and will reopen in November with new works and an enthusiasm to share them with you.  (But you are always welcome to call for a private viewing - 176-5266.!)

Why?  Because Mazatlan practically shuts down in the summer because of the heat and humidity. The ex-pats go back up north or find a place in Mexico with a cooler climate and the locals travel or stay close to home.  Tourism here is almost non-existent between July and September.

I will go to Oaxaca for the month of July with the intent of creating new artwork. I plan on working in a print shop there and doing painting in the studio that I am renting.  Travel is always good for rejuvenating the spirit and focusing on the year ahead. I also look forward to meeting artists in Oaxaca that I can show next season.

Thanks to all of the visitors who entered LUNA during our first season, to the patrons who purchased works of art, to the lovers of art who showed their appreciation.  We will continue to strive to bring you the best of local and international artists.


Have a great summer!
Glen
