Stratas of New Mexico Art
Juried Exhibition
April 15 - May 2, 2025
Reception: April 18, 5-7pm

Strata Gallery presents Stratas of New Mexico Art, a juried exhibition featuring artists living and working across the state. On view from April 15 through May 2, the exhibition brings together a wide range of material practices and conceptual approaches, offering insight into how artists in New Mexico are engaging with place, memory, and transformation.

The dynamic show includes works by 32 artists, each bringing their unique voice and vision to the conversation. From abstract and conceptual explorations to intimate depictions of the local environment, the exhibition offers a multi-faceted view of how materials and mediums are used to convey different artistic expressions.

In her Chupadera Foothills Archive Book, Desara Boehm uses the landscape as a medium to explore emotional and sensory engagement with memory, time, and place. This deeply introspective piece captures moments in nature that mirror internal transformations, embodying Boehms practice of turning fleeting experiences into lasting visual narratives. The paintings quiet and expansive nature uses light and texture as key tools, conveying a sense of reflection and stillness that defines her work. Chupadera Foothills invites viewers to reflect on the emotional resonance of the landscape as both a personal and collective memory.

DJ Barretts abstract works An Ideal Presence and Stumble offer a raw, personal language that challenges the viewers understanding of form and perception. Influenced by his background as a saxophone player and composer, Barretts work explores abstraction and improvisation, pushing boundaries to break free from predetermined artistic traditions. Barretts An Ideal Presence and Stumble both communicate a visceral, emotional language that calls upon viewers to confront their own internal landscapes.
