DOUGLAS KENT HALL is one of the great documentarians of his generation. His photographs of mainstream and counterculture subjects include rock music icons, bodybuilders and prison inmates, cowboys and countercultural heroes. At center is his exploration of the modern American West and the heart that beats there - sometimes violently, often poetically.

For more than thirty years, Hall has photographed and written about New Mexico's unique blend of places and people, a broad representation that includes ancient sites and Spanish churches, Indian ceremonial dances, portraits of artists and writers, vecinos and vagabonds.
The Color of Rock N' Roll opens Friday June 4 with an opening reception from 6-9pm the exhibit hangs until June 30.

Travis Bruce Black is an Artist and part-owner of the Bright Rain Gallery in Albuquerque Old Town.  Travis' new show BigBang-Brrrd is a selection of explosive and colorful birds, figures and portraits.  His work is driven by the desire to invent fresh ways to create beauty using bold techniques and design.  His newest paintings, the "Chirp" series, uses the Bird form and environment as a jump off point for abstraction, extreme color and semi-disorienting patterning.  A children's book is in the works using the chirp series' visual findings set to be finished this year with author and solar-CEO of Powur of Citizenre Solar Company http://www.powur.com/web/ .
Black's BigbangBRRRD is presently up and will be up until March 3rd
The opening reception is this Friday February 19th from 6-9 which will be Old town's Artscrawl.
