Art of Santa Fe: Painters Who Do Their Own Thing
  • Paul Shapiro
  • Vernon Witham
  • James Perigord
  • Van Dyke Jones
  • M-J de Mesterton
These are painters whose styles are sui generis, and easily recognizable. They don't copy anyone else--a rarity in the modern, contemporary world of art.

You won't find any minimalist poseurs (pretending there's something in that black or blue field, when all it represents is a lack of talent) or images of a few light bulbs strung together as "installations" (when did it become acceptable to waste electricity?). No con-artists who paint the hackneyed vertical stripes of color, expecting everyone else to regard them as "new" and "edgy".
We resist the current art-world culture of sameness, and have a policy here at Art of Santa Fe: Three stripes and you're OUT!
