New Concept Gallery invites you to savor a 3-room show of Santa Fe artist Douglas Atwill’s southwestern and mountain landscapes, garden scenes and floral paintings. While our past several Atwill exhibits have focused on Doug’s most recent works, Hithering Spill will showcase a cross-section of works from across the past twenty or more years. The exhibit can be viewed starting on Friday, May 23, 2025, with a reception the following week on Friday, May 30, 2025 from 5-7 PM. The reception will feature music by Petra Babankova on classical guitar: however, the artist will not be in attendance at the opening. The show will be on exhibit through Sunday, July 06, 2025, at New Concept Gallery, 610-A Canyon Road, Santa Fe, NM, 87501.
What, you might ask, is a hithering spill? According to Douglas Atwill, it is a term that was used in the late 1800s and early 1900s to describe works of art where the foreground feels as though it could spill forth from the canvas onto the viewer’s feet. This visual principal has been at the core of Atwill’s artistic vision for over fifty years, empowering him to create works with a depth that invites the viewer to step into the frame. Although Atwill usually prefers to give his shows pragmatic names like Recent Works, he felt that Hithering Spill was an appropriate title for a show designed to emphasize the depth of his career. Douglas Atwill has been a fixture in the Santa Fe art scene since the late 1970s. He paints in acrylics, usually on the primed linen canvas he prefers. His subjects range from the New Mexico landscape of mesas, escarpments and mountain scenes to verdant corners of his own garden. Atwill's work is widely held in numerous personal collections, and is also displayed on corporate and museum walls across the country. A prolific and disciplined artist, Douglas often completes fifty or more paintings each year. Atwill is also well known in Santa Fe for his work as a designer and builder. He is the author of over a dozen books, including novels, short stories, memoirs and poetry. |

Opening Reception / Memorial Gathering on Saturday, April 5, 2025, from 2-5 PM
New Concept Gallery is sad to announce that our good friend, New Mexico artist Reg Loving, passed away on Sunday, February 9, 2025, after a long illness. It was something that we had all been expecting for quite a while: enough so, in fact, that it had become a running joke between Reg and our gallery director, as each year for the the past several years we have hung Reg’s “last” show. In his final months, Loving had expressed that he knew he would live on through his art. It is our desire to honor that sentiment through this show. The Last Picture Show will serve as a celebration of Reg Loving and his art. The exhibit will be on view starting on Friday, March 28, 2025. Rather than having a traditional Friday evening opening, we will host a gathering from 2 PM to 5 PM on Saturday, April 5, 2025, which will serve as both an opening reception and memorial. It is our hope that Reg’s many friends will come to remember him, sharing laughter and stories surrounded by the magical variety of Loving's artwork. The gathering is open to all, whether they have known Reg for decades, or are only now discovering his distinctive artistic voice. The show will be on the walls through Sunday, May 11, 2025, at New Concept Gallery, 610-A Canyon Road, Santa Fe, NM.
Reg Loving was a vital member of the New Mexico art community since the mid-1970s. His work is widely held by museums, public institutions and private collectors alike. Whether he was portraying iconic New Mexican churches, creating highly stylized southwestern landscapes or thought-provoking abstracts, Loving’s distinctive style and bold use of color are the common threads woven throughout his body of work. The incredible variety of his work evolved from Loving’s constant exploration and re-discovery of his identity as an artist. To the highest degree possible, The Last Picture Show will showcase the broad spectrum of Loving’s visual expressions over the course of his artistic career.

Reg Loving’s Obituary
Reginald (Reg, Reggie) Loving, Jr., 81, passed away February 9 at the University of New Mexico Hospital in Albuquerque. Loving was born in Madisonville, Kentucky August 2, 1943 to Anna S. Loving and Reginald Williams Loving, Sr. A well-known artist in New Mexico and other Southwestern states, Reg’s paintings have been exhibited in Santa Fe, Albuquerque, New York, California, Denver, and Dallas among other venues. His most recent art shows have been in New Concept Gallery in Santa Fe. Loving’s award-winning work is in many large corporate collections around the United States and in numerous public collections including the Albuquerque Museum, the Santa Fe Museum of Fine Arts, the Capital Arts Foundation in the State Capitol Building in Santa Fe, and the Los Angeles International Airport. Loving graduated from Western Kentucky University in Bowling Green, KY with Bachelor of Fine Arts in painting. He was a social worker in Kentucky before becoming a photographer. He also studied and taught at the Center for Photographic Studies in Louisville, KY before moving to Santa Fe in the early 1970s. He soon switched from photography to painting because as he often said, “New Mexico is visually such a painterly place. The landscape is inspiring!” C.J. Pressma, a photographer and multi-media artist in Louisville and the founder of the former Center for Photographic Studies recently wrote, “My memories of Reg go back many years to the Center for Photographic Studies days. I recall his love of trains, his house in Santa Fe, his move to Albuquerque and the great artist/painter he was! His legacy will be remembered.” Predeceased by his parents, Loving is survived by his sister Jessica Loving, her husband, Sheryl Snyder, and nephews Seth and Peter Schikler, all of whom live in Louisville, KY. |
