Our March program will be a demonstration of the wonderful technique known as "Curvismo", created by New Mexico artist Ricardo Chavez-Mendez...also known as the Dali of the Desert. He is a prolific artist who decided at the age of 14 to dedicate his entire life to a career in art. Ricardo has worked tenaciously toward the goal for the last 40 years, developing into the Master of Curvismo and one of the finest artists in his genre.
Ricardo is truly an extraordinary artist. He is not only the master artist of the style he introduced to New Mexico known as "Curvisimo" or curvism but of technique, color and composition, leaving a trail of awe inspiring art for the art lover, collector and critic alike. The range of mediums is just as impressive, working in acrylics, oils, alkyds, color pencil, watercolor, pastel, fiber art and mixed media, including clay sculpture. He is co-owner of ORO Fine Art GAllery, the hidden treasure of Albuquerque, New Mexico where he teaches privately as well as group instruction.
Ricardo will be demonstrating for us after our business meeting on Monday, March 14th at Destiny Center, 4401 Northern Blvd in Rio Rancho. Please join us for refreshments afterwards. Business meeting will start at 6:30pm.
