    Galería Blue Moon, Unique Artist Collaborative,

    Announces Opening Reception November 19

    Galería Blue Moon, a new art gallery founded by a collaborative of six seasoned contemporary artists, will open its doors Friday, November 19, 2021, 6:00-9:00 PM, with an opening reception at Calzada de la Estacíon 151, adjacent to Lavinia’s Framing, in San Miguel de Allende. The event is free and open to the public.

    “Galería Blue Moon was founded by a unique collaborative of six diverse artists spanning painting, photography, lithography, and textile art. We formed our collaborative to have complete artistic control and show our distinctive original work,” said artist Andrew Klein.

    “Please join us for the full-moon celebration to inaugurate Galería Blue Moon!” he added.


    Members of the collaborative are as follows:

    Andrew Klein is a figurative painter whose work originates from the bounty of nature’s forms, with which he takes liberties. A permanent resident of San Miguel de Allende, he has exhibited his work in the U.S., Israel, and Mexico, and has taught art at the university level. He studied at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (BFA), Northwestern University (BA, West African Anthropology), and Indiana State University (MA, History of Art and Literature).

    Ray Leguizamo, born in Mexico City, studied art at National Institute of Fine Arts (INBA) and the Pratt Institute in New York. His paintings are inspired by fields and mountains around San Miguel de Allende and the state of Guanajuato, deconstructing and rebuilding landscapes so they are recognizable from a distance, but abstract as one gets closer. He has exhibited in Mexico, the U.S., and Germany. He has also worked as an illustrator for weeklies and newspapers in Mexico City and Guadalajara.

    Beverly Sky is a fiber artist whose artmaking career has spanned publishing, book design, weaving, printmaking, papermaking, and fabric collage. A Boston resident, she uses intrinsic qualities of fabrics – colors, patterns, images, textures – as a “painting” medium to express philosophical or spiritual ideas. She has designed and created sacred spaces and adornments for large institutions and has collaborated on projects using fabrics to create community.

    Esteban Senties is a lithographic artist who exploits classical, abstract and expressionist styles to configure a visual language that responds to inner inquiry. His self-portraits display minimal iconic form to express emotional and conscious states, and he often depicts homeless and indigent people as a meditation on admiration and compassion.

     Ernesto Zeivy is a Mexico City artist who paints objects and imagined artifacts and invites us to participate in their transformation to ambiguous otherworldly shapes. He has exhibited his work at Acapulco 62, and he has studied art in Mexico City, New York, and London.

     James Gritz has photographed internationally for over 40 years. His documentary style captures the essence of place and the diversity of the human condition. Specialties include travel, portraits, fine art photography, and street photography. Currently residing in San Miguel de Allende, he has published and exhibited internationally. He is working on a new book, La Vida Mexicana.
