This exhibition features over fifty figurative and abstract acrylic paintings by New Mexico artist George Mendoza. Colors of the Wind is George Mendoza’s most comprehensive exhibition to date. It includes fabrics created from his designs produced by Westminster Fibers. These works and fabrics embody the creative force of this visionary artist whose work explores the spiritual, mystical, playful, and sometimes darker nuances of the human spirit.
.
Mendoza, legally blind from a degenerative eye disease, has fought to overcome this disability; he has become an athlete, an Olympic contender, a writer and an accomplished artist. His vibrant paintings reflect optimism and a spirit of imagination combined with a unique view of the world. In 2009, Mendoza’s art established an international presence when Westminster Fabrics, INC. of Charlotte, NC, licensed it to create a cotton fabric collection distributed world-wide. The collection made its debut at the International Quilt Market.
