There is a beautiful place in the United States of America.
It is in northern New Mexico between the two mountain ranges.
This place is called 'The Cradle.' Its people, the land, and its
elements are special and peculiar. I find the genius of this
place reflected in the churches. H. Joe Waldrum

"Wrestling with Color"
In The Upper Gallery
AUG 8th – SEPT 27, 2020
The German philosopher Walter Benjamin wrote, "color is something spiritual, something whose clarity is spiritual so that when colors are mixed they produce nuisances of color, not a blur." Montreuil delves into the complexity of color with a mix of analysis, intuition and intention. Unafraid, Montreuil works toward the dynamic of freedom and control using several approaches as necessary. While this depersonalizes his autographic signature, it allows him to express in the work a spiritual unity. Along with his contemporaries, Montreuil deals with the historical implications of classical abstraction but remains open to the necessity of
inventing new parameters for the future of painting.

In the work of Delmas Howe, there is always a tension between
the illusions versus the reality of America society. His “cowboy” paintings collide head-on with that great myth machine – the American West.
