Spykman writes of Captain…
“His innate sensitivity was immediately apparent to me—sensitivity to color, to balance, to form, and to the overall feeling each artwork conveyed. As I’ve sorted through and sat with these artworks, I’ve been struck by the strong juxtaposition of saturated color and intense, intentional blankness surrounding it. His use of a full range of tonality speaks to the nature of a dedicated observer.” -Emily Spykman (Curator) Emily Spykman

Working almost entirely outside public view, Captain (b. 1945, Manhattan, NY; d. 2025, Santa Fe, NM), known to all as “Skipper,” built a practice in unbound dry pigment on paper, alongside charcoal drawing, oil painting, and material work incorporating ground soil, dried grass, and salvaged metal. He had no formal training. He named Josef Albers and Willem de Kooning among the painters he studied. His education came from books and from exhibition catalogues carried back from New York in the 1970s. ENIGMA presents more than 150 works across two locations, SUN & DUST and RELAY, the majority of which have never been shown.

We are pleased to announce Jake Trujillo’s solo exhibition Refrain, opening
October 2nd at our gallery on Canyon Road.
This show features Jake’s largest paintings made to date, inviting the viewer to feel the Southwest landscape’s surrounding presence in interior spaces.
Santa Fe oil painter Jake Trujillo’s solo exhibition Refrain is concerned with observation of repetition. Trujillo’s new body of work is entirely composed of familiar Santa Fe vistas whose emphasis is on the passage of time and seasonality—airy Winter scenes sit alongside distant Summer thunderheads and Autumnal foreground passages in brown and orange. To pause and observe keenly the changes in the land is an exercise in communion and restraint, and in this sense “refrain” refers not only to the musicality of repetition and theme, but to taking a moment of stasis to see distinctions within the presupposed.
Refrain will be on view from
October 2nd to 30th, 2026 at
SUN & DUST

George “Skipper” Captain.

Notes from the Curator
“As a curator who values craft and technical ability, this collection exhibits great skill in ex*****on, and innovation in technique as well as materials. Skipper was not formally schooled in art, but he dedicated his life to learning and practicing it. His legacy and lesson to all is one of quiet resilience and unswerving dedication to self-betterment and the craft of art… with a dose of humor thrown in for good measure.” -Emily Spykman
