Jake Trujillo: Refrain

About this event

Jake Trujillo: Refrain, a solo exhibition of new works.

Please join us October 2nd 5-7 PM for an opening reception at Sun & Dust located at 223 1/2 Canyon Road Santa Fe, NM 87501. This series of new paintings features Trujillo's largest paintings made to date, inviting the viewer to feel the Southwest landscape's surrounding presence in interior spaces.

Santa Fe oil painter Jake Trujillo’s solo exhibition Refrain is concerned with observation of repetition. Trujillo’s new body of work is entirely composed of familiar Santa Fe vistas whose emphasis is on the passage of time and seasonality—airy Winter scenes sit alongside distant Summer thunderheads and Autumnal foreground passages in brown and orange. To pause and observe keenly the changes in the land is an exercise in communion and restraint, and in this sense “refrain” refers not only to the musicality of repetition and theme, but to taking a moment of stasis to see distinctions within the presupposed.
