El Vaquero : The Paintings of S.M. Chavez

Contemporary paintings of the West.
Gallery footage is from Chavez's 2021 solo show at Acosta-Strong on Canyon Road in Santa Fe.
"My work is a combination of old and new. It is a mix of the traditional and the contemporary. Working from both ends of the spectrum, the result is my unique vision and experience of being native to the Southwest and more specifically, to the beautiful place known as New Mexico.”
