A preview of our upcoming exhibition, Bob & Bob: Robert M. Ellis and Robert C. Ellis

𝘜𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘵𝘭𝘦𝘥 (𝘛𝘳𝘦𝘦 𝘚𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘴), 1962 by Robert M. Ellis

While serving as the Curator of Education at the Pasadena Art Museum, Ellis took a leave of absence to study and paint in Paris. Stuck in his hotel room on a rainy, foggy day, he looked down to see the trees that lined his street, salient in their color but with fading definition. Inspired by this blurring of form caused by the weather, M. Ellis began painting his abstract 𝘛𝘳𝘦𝘦 𝘚𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘴. These paintings feature bright yet gently applied streaks of color, with white backgrounds that reflect the haziness which fog and mist produce.

In 1961, upon his return to California, the Pasadena Art Museum held an exhibit of pieces from 𝘛𝘳𝘦𝘦 𝘚𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘴. M. Ellis continued to paint as part of this series, which then evolved into two more series: 𝘔𝘢𝘯 𝘪𝘯 𝘕𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 and 𝘓𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘓𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘴𝘤𝘢𝘱𝘦. Artworks from each series will be on display at 203 Fine Art in our upcoming exhibition.

Upcoming Exhibition: Bob & Bob

Opening Reception: 5-7 PM | Friday, July 3
Exhibition Dates: July 3 - August 15, 2026

203 FINE ART is pleased to answer an age-old question: what is the difference between Robert Ellis and Robert Ellis? Besides a middle initial distinguishing the two artists (Robert C. Ellis and Robert M. Ellis), these two legendary modernist painters have consistently overlapped. From their use of the GI Bill after WWII, their time at the University of New Mexico, to choosing the small town of Taos as home and building international artistic careers that crossed the same borders, both Bobs have long deserved to have their individual stories shared.

Though both Robert M. and Robert C. were greatly inspired by the country of Mexico, where each lived and studied for a time, their respective bodies of work exemplify distinct differences. Robert M. Ellis’ academic path as a professor at the University of New Mexico as well as his directorship of the Harwood Museum created a perceivable change in his style, as he became more figurative and direct. Robert C. Ellis, solely an artist, instead fell further into abstract surrealism, with the spiritual world ever present in his pastel drawings and oil paintings. However, whether ironically or not, by the end of each of their careers, they had found a home in minimalism.

This exhibition serves to share the lifelong importance of two powerful artists and patrons. It is created in partnership with the Robert M. Ellis Collection Trust and the Estate of Robert C. Ellis.

JONATHAN SOBOL • 𝘏𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘻𝘰𝘯

“Horizon #1093”
2026
oil on canvas
60 x 36”

New offering by our represented contemporary artist, Jonathan Sobol. Each painting this artist creates is a self-proclaimed landscape, abstracted through the emotional and visual aspects experienced while observing the land around him.

Jonathan Sobol has been a professional artist since 1976, although his explorations in oil painting began when he was just eight years old. Growing up amongst artists and musicians, Sobol was fortunate to have profound mentors to guide his craft. The diversity of his mentors gave Sobol the unique opportunity to find his own voice in a sea of creative possibilities.

JOHN DE PUY (1927-2023) • New Offering

“Obsidian Stones”
2015
20 x 16 inches
oil on canvas

New offering by the legendary environmental artist & activist Taos Modern, John De Puy. Acquired directly from the artist’s studio and now available for collecting.

Born in 1927, in New Brunswick, New Jersey, John De Puy’s original roots were in New Mexico, with his grandfather, who owned a ranch in Mora in the late 1800s. In the early 1950s, De Puy studied with artist Hans Hoffman in New York, following service in the military as a medic during WWII and the beginning of the Korean War.

De Puy visited Taos, New Mexico, in 1949 and returned in 1952 to study with Louis Ribak at the Taos Valley Art School through the GI Bill. De Puy, along with Louis Ribak, Beatrice Mandelman, Agnes Martin, Robert Ray, Earl Stroh, Cliff Harmon, Ted Egri, and several others, would become a group of like-minded modern artists known as the Taos Moderns.

During the 1950s, De Puy and author Edward Abbey made a pact they would fight to protect and conserve the previously wild landscapes of the American Southwest— one through a paintbrush, the other through a pen. Today, we now see many of these lands the artist painted throughout his career protected by park status or returned to their original caretakers.

A solo exhibition of De Puy’s work was held at the Roswell Museum & Art Center in 2006, titled The Ground of Being, and more recently, a 2016 retrospective of his work was shown at the Harwood Museum of Art in Taos.

CHANCE • Marsha Skinner

Opening Reception:

203 FINE ART is honored to announce a solo exhibition of paintings by the notable and beloved Taos artist, Marsha Skinner (1944-2025). Embued with the natural world, Marsha Skinner’s adaptability in traversing a spectrum from deep reds to garden greens reflects the discipline she carried in her ability to let go. Using oil, paper and canvas, the artist creates meditative works from the I Ching technique that are absent of intention and instead created by chance.
