I am pleased to announce that my new solo show, Denouement, opening later this month at Nuart Gallery, is previewed in the May issue of THE magazine.

All of the works for the new show are now online. For more information, please contact Nuart Gallery at 505.988.3888 or fineart@nuartgallery.com.

My next solo show, “Denouement”, opens May 27 at Nuart Gallery in Santa Fe. Please check back in the coming weeks for a preview of all of the new work.

Artist Statement:

My latest series of paintings explores denouement — the final resolution of the intricacies of a narrative; the outcome of a doubtful series of occurrences. These works capture a sense of plot resolving, but we are left unaware of the story, seeing only the sweeping exits of dramas untold.

The mystery inherent in the process of painting — itself a complex sequence of events — is mirrored in the painted subjects. The ending of their stories is near at hand, but not revealed — their outcome inviting the viewer’s participation.

My work is currently on display at Lanoue Fine Art in Boston as part of a group show introducing new gallery artists. The show, which runs through February, features several of my paintings including three of my newest works. If you’re in Boston, please stop by and check it out.

Last week, I received my much-awaited copy of the latest New American Paintings (Vol. 90) – the exhibition-in-print in which I am featured as one of 40 artists selected by Toby Kamps, Senior Curator for the Contemporary Arts Museum in Houston. New American Paintings is one of the largest and most prestigious annual art competitions in the country and I’m honored to be included. The book, which features three of my recent paintings as well as a bio/CV and artist statement, is currently available on newsstands and can be ordered through New American Paintings. You can also view scans of the book on my press page.

I just received the print catalog of the art collection of Standard Chartered Bank, which purchased a painting I did a few years ago for their London headquarters. This new hard-bound book features my painting along with the work of over a hundred other contemporary figurative painters in their collection — among them, several BP Portrait Award artists I’ve long admired such as Stephen Earl Rogers and Jennifer Anderson. I’m thrilled to be part of this collection and included amongst such amazingly talented artists.

My newest body of work is now on display at Rosenbaum Contemporary in Boca Raton, Florida. For their first open house of the season on October 11, Rosenbaum Contemporary is featuring my new large-scale paintings Interim, Stasis and Interval 1, 2 and 3 alongside works by such modern masters as Jim Dine and Robert Indiana. I’m very excited to be participating in this exhibition.

Please visit Rosenbaum Contemporary to see all of my new works for this show.

I’m very pleased to announce my newest representative – Lanoue Fine Art, located on Newbury Street in Boston, Massachusetts.

Lanoue Fine Art showcases an outstanding collection of contemporary painting, sculpture and printmaking by mid-career and established artists.

The August issue of Poets and Artists magazine, featuring an 8-page spread on my work is now online at poetsandartists.com. Poets and Artists magazine is a gorgeous print-on-demand and online magazine featuring great artists and writers every month. I’m excited to be included and to be featured on the cover!

I’m very pleased to announce that I’ve been selected out of over 1000 entrants as one of the 40 artists to be featured in the Western edition of New American Paintings — a highly competitive exhibition-in-print juried by Toby Kamps, Senior Curator for the Contemporary Arts Museum in Houston. A list of all the Western competition winners is now online at the New American Paintings blog. The western edition comes out sometime in October…

Thank you to Cherie Louise Turner for her review of my recent solo exhibition at Hespe Gallery — now online at visualartsource.com.

“Santa Fe–based artist Erin Cone continues to push her work, and it shows. Cone consciously explores new approaches to form, composition, and palette, and her current solo exhibition shows the painter refining and developing… Here we see a dedicated, talented painter steadily developing into an artist.”

It’s great to be reviewed alongside so many other talented artists –- excellent content throughout the site. Please check it out.
