      Unlike many such shows, which sum up a lifetime of achievement, this is a mid- career survey (he was born in 1959) that has the potential to refocus his work and significantly boost his career going forward.
      From any point of view, it is a major milestone for Lobato, one only enhanced by the accompanying 88-page catalog and the show's subsequent tour to museums and art centers in Sedona, Ariz.; Ashland, Ore.; and Missoula, Mont. Collapse

      Now there's a worthy heir to the mantle of greatness seen at the RedLine's Chisman show: Emilio Lobato: Mi Linda Soledad, which means "My Beautiful Solitude," the Emilio Lobato retrospective at the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center.
      
      The CSFAC retrospective is installed in a set of galleries on the second floor, just off the connecting atrium that joins the landmark John Gaw Meem-designed building to the expertly conceived addition by David Tryba. The show was put together by Tariana Navas-Nieves, curator of Hispanic and Native American Art at the institution.

      Keeping abstraction new and different has led to the development of neo-modernism, which harks back to the mid-twentieth century but looks thoroughly modern at the same time. That's surely the case with Colorado's own Emilio Lobato, the subject of not one, but two solo shows right now. At the venerable Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center, there's Mi Linda Soledad/My Beautiful Solitude, a retrospective of Lobato's work from the early '80s to 2009, while the William Havu Gallery here in Denver is featuring Casi, Casi, showcasing work done after that. Lobato's pieces invariably refer to his roots in the San Luis Valley, typically through the use of Spanish titles and somber palettes — but the paintings themselves have an international flavor incorporating various abstract influences, notably minimalism and expressionism. And he resolves these opposites brilliantly. Collapse

      Mounting this spectacle of non-stop singing, dancing and intricate patter requires guts and extensive resources. First-time Fine Arts Center director Steve Emily delivers in spades — with some impressive production values, confident direction and dazzling performances by nearly every member of the large cast.

      This is a bad idea. Colorado's climate and environment is very fragile. The Arkansas River is part of that environment and supports much wildlife from Colorado Trout to much larger Big Horn Sheep. The trout very much depend on the existence of small aquatic life from very small nymphs to larger insects for their daily food. The climatic conditions are the availability of sunlight and warmth. Spreading sheets over the Arkansas will have a tremendous negative impact on the conditions and the ability of the big horn sheep and other animals to access the river for their livelihood. These sheets will cover six miles and will have to be anchored securely into the bedrock to withstand the high winds that blow within the canyon. These anchors will have to be drilled deep into the rock and high strength cables will be used to actually carry the sheets. When this project is finished, will these anchors be removed completely? Will the holes drilled to insert still them be there? (yes) Will anglers have access to those portions of the river for fishing? The float trips below the sheets- will they be effected? If this is to satisfy someone’s ego in the name of art, then our answer must be no. Collapse
