Delmas Howe has a highly esteemed history with the Leslie-Lohman organization including several solo exhibitions over the years. His work is represented in our museum’s collection as well as others such as the Albuquerque Museum of Art and the New Mexico Museum of Art in Santa Fe.
A few years ago Howe exhibited a series of paintings of nearby rock canyons. Viewers said they saw flesh-like shapes in the rocks. This observation inspired him to do a somewhat converse series of paintings in which flesh suggested rocks. Howe feels that our times are in turmoil, and neither new technologies nor the government nor the church provide answers to the problems that face us.
Howe says “In the rock face you can see that there is no answer…” For Howe the rocks are a metaphor for all that is “constantly changing, moving, turbulent, leading to some unpredictable continuing process” -- a process that leaves a visible history of incredible beauty.
Howe, a resident of Truth or Consequences, NM, will be in New York for the run of the exhibition.
