Brad Teare Painted Earth: The Impasto West

Immerse yourself in the rugged beauty of the American West, reimagined through the textured mastery of Brad Teare. Known for his bold use of oil paint and the dynamic energy of his palette knife, Teare’s works invite viewers to experience the visceral essence of Western landscapes like never before.

This exhibition showcases Teare’s exploration of texture and vibrant color, honed over decades of artistic inquiry. Drawing inspiration from Van Gogh’s impassioned strokes and his own innovative techniques, Teare combines the physicality of thick paint with the emotional depth of his subjects. Each piece captures not just the scenery, but the spirit of the West, offering a tactile connection to its windswept mesas, towering peaks, and endless horizons.

Teare, an acclaimed illustrator turned plein-air and studio painter, has exhibited across renowned galleries and museums, bringing his unmistakable style to audiences worldwide. From the vibrant echoes of his formative abstract explorations to the grounded vitality of his landscapes, this Santa Fe show reflects a rich artistic evolution.

Join us to experience the power and presence of the Western landscape as captured through Teare’s inspired vision. The opening reception will take place Friday, September 19th, from 5:00-7:00pm.

Featured artwork is entitled “Autumn Cascade,” oil, and measures 48 x 48 inches.
