Wild Rumpus
November 21 - December 31, 2013
In 2013, POP Gallery celebrates the 50th Anniversary of the classic children's book WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE and the wonderful legacy of Maurice Sendak.
In THE ART OF MAURICE SENDAK (1980) Maurice Sendak discusses the Trilogy as "variations on the same theme: how children master various feelings-anger, boredom, fear, frustration, jealousy-and manage to come to grips with the realities of their lives."
POP Gallery has invited artists to create artwork inspired by Max and the wild things to be showcased for the holidays in Santa Fe. The group show, Wild Rumpus, will open Thanksgiving week and run through December. Featuring David Ho, Paul Barnes, Renee Lawter, Martin Hsu, Max Lehman, Miss Mindy, CJ Metzger among others.
Artwork will range from 2D to 3D and will include custom vinyl toys. Art workshops will be hosted to benefit POP kidz, in support of igniting creative spirit, details coming soon.
Submission inquiries to Sharla@popsantafe.com with Wild Rumpus in subject matter, CV, 2 current works, and link to website, to which we will reply with submission pdf should we feel your work is a good fit for the show.

Joel Nakamura: Dream Catchers
August 2 - August 31, 2013
Opening reception: Saturday, August 17, 6:00
Award winning artist Joel Nakamura is known for his unique style: a blend of folk art and sophisticated iconography rendered in a neo-primitive technique. He is chosen for many of his commissions for his knowledge of tribal art, mythology, and for his ability to convey stories and information in an intricate and engaging manner.
Nakamura's ability to render humanity in such primal, edgy hues has captured the attention of clients like Time Magazine, US News & World Report, and the Los Angeles Times. His paintings have enlivened the pages of many other books and publications, as well as the 2002 Winter Olympics opening and closing ceremonies programs. Nakamura has been profiled in Communication Arts, Step Inside Design, Confetti and Southwest Art magazines. He is proud to be the recipient of over two hundred awards of excellence.

Daniel Martin Diaz, "Soul of Science"
July 5 - August 31, 2013
Opening reception: Saturday, July 27, 6:00
The work of artist Daniel Martin Diaz "is broodingly personal" with "a compelling, esoteric edge."Los Angeles Times
Daniel Martin Diaz was invited by Master Printer Andrew Polk to produce a limited edition stone lithograph for the University of Arizona Art Department. It was an amazing experience. The process of stone lithography has been around since the 1700's. The concept became reality after a beautiful response to a kick starter project launched in late 2012. The drawings used in his latest book Soul of Science will be shown for the first time at POP Gallery in July 2013, which is also Daniel's only show this year.
Drawing from old masters Jan van Eyck, Albrecht Dürer, Pieter Bruegel, and Hieronymus Bosch, both in subject matter and in the ancient egg tempera and resin oil painting technique, the works of artist Daniel Martin Diaz possess a sincerity that foregrounds his deep devotion to revealing a higher meaning through painstaking craftsmanship. Through his application of a limited palette on distressed wood, his handmade wooden frames, and his expressive use of Latin text, Diaz’s images thrust us into another time and place.
The artwork of Daniel Martin Diaz has been commissioned for the PBS Documentary, The Forgetting: A Portrait of Alzheimer's, the CD artwork for the Atlantic Records multi-platinum band, P.O.D., which sold over one million copies, the album cover artwork for the multi-platinum band Good Charlotte, two large altar pieces for San Antonio de Padua Catholic Church in Guaymas, Mexico. His public art collaborations include the design and installation of the Historic Hotel Congress Proscenium stage; Desert Splendor, sculptural works commissioned by the City of Tucson for Centro Parking Garage in Downtown Tucson; Journey Through Nature, a five hundred by forty-foot terrazzo floor for Phoenix's Sky Harbor Airport; and Salvation, a painting on a Vietnam-era Cluster Bomb as part of the critically acclaimed Boneyard Project, which was exhibited at Pima Air & Space Museum and will continue to travel throughout the U.S. He is currently working on prominent public art projects for the Cities of Phoenix, Mesa, Tucson, and Goodyear, AZ.
Please contact us directly for a collector preview of the artwork at 505.820.0788.

We embark on this new year debuting new work monthly from our unique and passionate artists. From jewelry to sculpture, paintings to photography POP is Santa Fe's premiere fusion gallery blending whimsical work with edgy art in a cohesive setting. Kicking off the year with creatives and art lovers we will host "mingles" during the monthly GALA district 1st Friday ARTwalks. Please join us, the art might just surprise you.
February 1st we will open an Art Raffle/Silent auction to benefit Robin's Relief. The silent auction will feature many works donated by POP Gallery artists and friends.

Established January 2007, Pop Gallery raises the bar locally and draws established and emerging Contemporary and New Brow artists to Santa Fe from around the world. Our vision is rooted in providing art lovers with a thought provoking alternative. Rising from the underground world of tattooing and graffiti, comics, cartoons, pop art, illustration, and surrealist artists, the art showcased feeds of the blend of influences and energies well cemented in today's culture. In essence, Pop Gallery represents a celebration of mediums and ideas, the dynamic union between independence and spirit, the emergence of sub-culture on a contemporary platform. POP currently represents Lynden St. Victor, Clifford Bailey, Thomas Barbey, Spencer Herr, Joel Nakamura, David Ho, Aunia Kahn, Marie Sena, Andrew Mosedale, Marty Goldstein, Max Lehman, Thomas Allcroft Gibson, and Daniel Martin Diaz among others.
