Strata Gallery

Strata Gallery presents Established Member solo exhibition, Turning from a Fixed Direction, by Lita Kenyon on view through June 19.

Lita Kenyon’s work explores abstraction’s ability to evoke balance and tension without relying on narrative. Kenyon avoids specific references, allowing meaning to emerge organically as images blend and shift within fields of color and gestural marks. Inspiration comes from nonobjective forms as they emerge in the composition. Kenyon’s process is guided by intuition-driven methods, where each piece begins with a gesture and evolves through scraping, repainting, and layering.

Lita Kenyon received her MA in Fine Art from Northern Illinois University. Her work has been exhibited in Seattle, Washington; San Francisco, California; Santa Fe, New Mexico; Portland, OR, and Columbia, MO. This is her first solo show in New Mexico.

Strata Gallery is pleased to announce its Sixth Annual Group Exhibition, featuring new and recent work from Strata Members from across the country. The exhibition opens Friday, June 26 and will run through July 17. Celebrate with us during our opening reception on Friday, June 26, from 5:00 to 7:00 PM. In addition, we will have a closing reception on July 17, from 5:00 to 7:00 PM. This summer show highlights the range and vitality of artistic practices represented within the Strata community.

Founded in 2021 as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, Strata Gallery has established itself as a space dedicated to showcasing work based on merit rather than market trends. Located in the heart of Santa Fe’s downtown plaza, Strata provides a platform for artists who continue to push their practices in bold and thoughtful directions.

This year’s exhibition features the work of thirteen artists: Brianna Tadeo (NM), C.J. Rosenthal (NM), claudia hermano (NM), Cody Kamrowski (CA), David Olivant (NM), Diana Noh (IL), Elaine Duncan (NM), Frank Trocino (NM), Jeannine Spooner Kitzhaber (MN), Jennifer Van (CA), Lita Kenyon (WA), Michael Donnelly (NM), and Taylor Thomas (CA). The works in this year’s exhibition reflect a wide-ranging engagement with memory, identity, perception, and the rapidly shifting world around us. Through photography, painting, collage, and mixed media, the artists explore both personal experience and broader cultural realities.
