john de puy
original artwork
"His line and ink drawings and oil paintings represent clearly, recognizably, the landscape of the Southwest - mountains, buttes, abysmal gorges. But De Puys' landscape is not he landscape we see, but the one, he claims, is really there. A world of terror as well as beauty that lies beyond the ordinary limits of human experience, that forms the basis of experience, the ground of being."
