Mata Ortiz: Highlights from the Lysbeth Warren Anderson Collection
Bunny Conlon Modern & Contemporary Art Gallery  
March 22-July 20, 2024

Led by Juan Quezada, the resurgence of traditional Casas Grandes and Paquimé pottery has evolved into the unique Mata Ortiz style. Defined by intricate and graceful abstraction as well as amorphous designs, the craftsmanship of Mata Ortiz reflects the unwavering determination of a family and entire community.
 
In the realm of contemporary ceramics, this Mata Ortiz exhibition invites audiences to witness the evolution of this distinct style that seamlessly blends tradition with modern and contemporary innovation. Showcasing the artistry of over 25 potters, the exhibit spotlights the generous contribution of early Mata Ortiz ceramics and prints by Juan Quezada by Lysbeth Warren Anderson to the NMSU Permanent Art Collection.

Mata Ortiz: Highlights from the Lysbeth Warren Anderson Collection
Galeria de Arte Moderno y Contemporaneo Bunny Conlon
22 de marzo al 20 de julio de 2024

Encabezado por Juan Quezada, el resurgimiento de la alfarería tradicional de Casas Grandes y Paquimé ha evolucionado el estilo único de Mata Ortiz. Definida por una abstracción intrincada y elegante, así como diseños amorfos la artesanía de Mata Ortiz refleja la determinación inquebrantable de una familia y comunidad entera.

En el ámbito de la cerámica contemporánea, esta exhibición invita al espectador a ser testigo de la evolución de un estilo original que sin esfuerzo alguno mezcla tradiciones ancestrales con innovaciones modernas y contemporáneas. La exposición muestra el arte de más de 25 alfareros, y destaca la generosa contribución de la cerámica de la etapa temprana de Mata Ortiz y los grabados de Juan Quezada de Lysbeth Warren Anderson a la Colección de Arte Permanente de NMSU.
