Dear Jerry,
We want to thank you so much for the recent selection process for the New Denver Airport Art Program. We truly appreciate your patience and positive response to a difficult process. As you know, much of the process was dictated by this particular project's extremely short time-line.
Your emergence from a field of nearly 1000 artists should be a great source of satisfaction to you. The many art projects and commisions that will be part of the New Denver Airport Art Program will afford an array of future opportunities in which we hope you will continue to participate.
Again, thank you for the interest and enthusiasm which you brought to this process. The Denver Airport is fortunate to be able to draw on artists of your caliber for a project of this size.
Sincerely,
Jan Steinhauser, Director Commision on Cultural Affairs

The "Two Regions, Four Visions" exhibition at the South Broadway Cultural Center embodies a broad spectrum of objects, techniques, and sensibilities.
The show explores creativity spanning two generations in two families. The exhibition features works by Jerry Rael and Gino Rael of Denver, Ted Rael and his son Antonio Rael of Albuquerque, and family friend Frederic Montoya of Albuquerque.
The three Rael brothers were born in the San Luis Valley in Colorado, but grew up in the Denver area. The Cultural Center exhibition is the first time that they have shown together.
Jerry is a muralist who is exhibiting his pencil and pastel drawings and photographic collages. He illustrates the cultural collision between Native Americans and Hispanics. However, his work does not dwell on conflict or division.
Instead he reveals the connection between Native American daily life, ceremonial events, spirituality and the landscape. Where possible, he unveils parallels between cultures.
In " Eagle Dancer # 1," a pastel and pencil rendering, he depicts a dancer in full costume in the midst of a sacred dance. In the background two women in Bermuda shorts are shopping at a faraway booth.
The shoppers are either ignoring the dancer or are just unaware of his presence.
In " Eagle Dancer # 2," the viewer is offered a closeup profile of a dancer in full costume. In the background are a very attentive mother and child. In the far distance is a mountain range. Leading up to the mountain range are a series of patterns and symbols. These pictographic elements illustrate the direct relationship between Native American art and nature.
The composition also blends the importance of family, traditional ceremony, and the origins of human consciousness in the land.
Two pastel and pencil renderings depict contemporary Hispanic themes. In one, two men show off a bright red, customized hot rod Ford pickup complete with flame paint job and a yellow 1930's sedan of uncertain make( it may be a 34 ford). In the background looms the downtown Denver skyscaper-filled skyline. In the foreground sits a friendly dog.
Jerry's other vehicle related drawing depicts two men riding large motorcycles toward the viewer. Like a scene from "Easy Rider," the two bikes and the riders cruise through a rural landscape. Overhead is a banner celebrating a family event.
Both drawings show common interests among family and friends. They also reveal a reverence for life and the sheer joy and adventure of being alive.
In his photographic collages, Jerry weaves together various visual planes and levels of reality. These pieces are stylistically the most contemporary works in the whole exhibition.
Gino is artistically innocent. His straightforward colored pencil renderings of American Indian Chiefs spring from the concern of the artist to honor the past.
Ted's carved walking canes in wood and bone are the most magical pieces in the show. His direct exploration of the materials uncovers the spirits within.
His simple rendered faces are somehow alive.
He also makes straw-inlaid crosses and carefully painted retablos, but the pieces that I found the most intriguing were his bone carvings.
Antonio is a high school senior who makes retablos and straw- inlaid crosses. The first retablo he ever made won a second place award at the New Mexico State Fair in 1995. He needs more time to fully develop his skills.
At 51, Montoya is the oldest artist in the show. He discovered his creative abilities at age 47 while learning to carve from his father. The elder Montoya passed away only four months after beginning his son's training, but Montoya has progressed rapidly.
He has worked in clay, ceramic tiles, and hammered tin since his father's death. As a carverhe has become a judge in the State Fair competitions and has served as president of the Rio Grande Woodcarvers
My favorite piece by Montoya is the "Mother and Christ Child," carved from a single pieceof wood and hand colored with water based pigments. The Gracefully designed work embodiesthe artist's love for church and family.
His tin crosses are also elegant examples of a tradional hispanic art form. After such a rapid start I'll be interested in how Montoya's work develops in the future.
Overall, this exhibition is an interesting blend of traditional religiously inspired craft and contemporary artistry. Jerry is the most realized of the group, but Ted and Montoya are artist to watch .The participants exemplify the importance of sharing skills and talents with others. The show is heartfelt and sincere art.
South Broadway Cultural Center ,1025 Broadway SE, is hosting "Two Regions, Four Visions" through June 29. The exhibition features works by Ted Rael, Jerry Rael, Gino Rael, Antonio Rael, and Frederico Montoya. Call 764-1743.
