Nüart Gallery in Santa Fe announces ‘Semblance,’ a group exhibition featuring Michael Bergt, John Tarahteeff, and Shinji Himeno. The gallery’s exhibition page identifies ‘Semblance’ as a current exhibition in Santa Fe.
The exhibition’s framing places the figure as a point of passage between tangible reality and the imagined. Bergt, Tarahteeff, and Himeno retain the descriptive authority of representational painting while directing it toward realities that cannot be fully explained.
The exhibition brings together three distinctive approaches to figurative painting. It considers the human form as a bearer of myth, psychological experience, and imagined identity. Across the works, recognizable bodies inhabit spaces governed by their own internal logic. Historical references, symbolic structures, altered proportions, and improbable encounters move the figure beyond straightforward representation and into a more uncertain realm of meaning.
The exhibition listing includes Michael Bergt’s ‘Mobius,’ John Tarahteeff’s ‘Flee’ and ‘Embark,’ and Shinji Himeno’s ‘Woman in the Glass’ and ‘Kronos.’
The exhibition runs from September 25 through October 17, 2026, with an opening reception on September 25 from 5–7pm MST, and Michael Bergt will be present.
