My painting, “It’s What You Do with Time that Heals” from The Tucson Museum of Art collection will be included in the upcoming centennial exhibition, Time Travelers: Foundations, Transformations, and Expansions at the Centennial, and it is also reproduced in our centennial book, now available through the museum store (online now if not soon). The show opens on March 17 and goes through October 6, 2024. There will be an opening reception on Friday, March 22.

Artist Fausto Fernandez shares the warehouse space with Ironwood Mills who transform locally sourced Arizona lumber and live-edge hardwood slabs into custom hand-crafted furniture. The painter’s colorful work covers the walls of the workspace they share, the lobby and the yoga studio walls and opens up into a beautiful open space in the back of the property.

Fernandez is a mixed media collage artist whose art works include a variety of paintings, public art, and community engagement projects. The ideas develop from questioning his upbringing and are inspired by communities and societies that expand beyond his cultural identity. Even though the process and overall themes are generally consistent, he tend to work in series. He has created artworks inspired by mathematical equations, technology, preservation of culture and mythology.

Fausto was a member of The Lodge Art Studio on Grand Avenue between 2003 and 2012, he then relocated to Los Angeles and New Mexico and came back to Phoenix in 2017, his studio is now located in North Phoenix.

Opening Reception: Monday, September 18, 5:30-8:00 p.m.

As Phoenix Sky Harbor grows, so does its vast art collection. It all began in 1962 with one massive 75-foot-wide mural at Terminal 2 and the Airport’s collection has continued growing ever since. The designs of Terminals 3 and 4 incorporated spaces for art with large-scale paintings and sculptures as well as architecturally integrated works.

The Phoenix Airport Museum began in 1988 to enhance the guest experience by producing exhibitions throughout Phoenix Sky Harbor and maintaining the ever-increasing art collection. Today, the Museum has more than 1,000 pieces in all mediums, styles and sizes. Like all museums, only a fraction of the collection is on display at any one time.

On view for the first time are 41 newly acquired artworks in a wide variety of approaches and techniques ranging from colorful abstracts to realistic portraiture to Southwest themes. These new additions to the Airport's collection were purchased through the city of Phoenix’s Percent for Art Program.

Contemporary Arizona artists created art in various mediums using traditional and unconventional materials including cactus spines, bones, glass and metal. Enjoy these paintings, drawings, sculptures, prints and fiber works showcasing Arizona’s rich art and culture representing Diversity in the Desert.

HOW DOES YOUR ART AFFECT OTHERS?

Currently, neuroscientists are taking an interest in aesthetic experiences and have conducted numerous studies about what exactly happens in our brains as we view art. In one such study, an expert panel of scholars in the fields of neuroscience, art history, philosophy, psychology, and theology were recruited to generate a list of terms that describe visual artworks and their potential cognitive and affective impacts. The list of over 100 words was given to non-expert participants, who eliminated words with overlapping meaning and helped to narrow down the list to 11: 

Compassionate, humbled, consoled, intimately engaged, hopeful, swept away, challenged, enlightened, confused, disgusted, and upset 

This national juried exhibition celebrates the subjective visual language of abstract art. Through line, color, shape and form, the selected artists convey nonrepresentational, expressive, or distorted representations of our physical world. From paintings on canvas to wood sculptures, this exhibition features 38 artworks by 15 local and national artists working in a wide range of mediums.

Royse Contemporary is proud to present Consideration of Color, a group exhibition examining color, reflecting upon the effects color creates within both the artist and viewer. Color is a brilliant tool allowing artists to further express themselves, as well as a way to connect with its viewers.

This exhibition is in collaboration with BioDesign Research Center at Arizona State University. Their research entitled Cooperation in the Apocolypse explores changing perspectives on socializing with and caring for others during the pandemic, and will serve as the conceptual framework for this exhibition.

The exhibit, A Tribute To Our Heroes, marks the 20th anniversary of the tragedy of 9/11 and aims to reflect on how the heroes of this day have shaped, and continue to shape, our nation into one of support, togetherness and collective endurance.
