Walt Gonske: Along the Sangre de Cristo Range

Nedra Matteucci Galleries, 1075 Paseo de Peralta, 505-982- 4631 Since moving to New Mexico in 1972, plein-air painter Walt Gonske has been rendering landscapes with an abstract sensibility, capturing the beautiful terrain of the Southwest, as well as scenes from Greece, Mexico, and the California coastline, with a striking sense of immediacy. The Art of Walt Gonske: A Retrospective is a selection of career-spanning works that draw from the artist’s own private collection. The opening reception is at 1 p.m. Saturday, June 23.
