Elizabeth Gibbons, Shiloh McCloud at The Palace of the Soul November 7th 11:00 AM - 6:00 PM
Posted 11/3/09

I have taken this workshop with Shiloh and Elizabeth and it was one of the most phenomenal workshops I have ever taken!  They create an environment that is sacred, inspirational, fun and transformational.  The painting I created hangs proudly on my wall and, in fact, friends and family want my art for presents - and I have NEVER considered myself an artist.  Thank you both for creating this incredible experience.

Ferris Plock, Kelly Tunstall at 111 Minna Gallery August 6th - August 29th
Posted 8/23/09

    There’s always something a bit tragic and sensational about sea stories— that passion for the open sea, for the things that drift away. The sea is the place where men choose to be, where the ladies along the way are as fleeting as ever. A life of squandered happiness. In this husband and wife joint show, “Sea of Love,” Ferris Plock and Kelly Tunstall create men that are wild-eyed, delirious with wanderlust while the women are serene, swan-necked creatures of the sea. The pieces are... [more]

at Andrea Schwartz Gallery August 5th - August 28th
Posted 8/15/09

I had high hopes for WORD, a group exhibition currently on display at Andrea Schwartz Gallery in SoMa. I was attracted by the directness of the show's title and its promise of art mixed with the written word. Like Danielle Steele, who lent her services as guest curator for this show, I am fascinated with work that combines imagery with text and art with literature, a category rich with thematic variety. I envisioned a show that might, for example, examine the nuanced and often tenuous relationsh... [more]

30 Master Class in painting, but Surreal?  
by
Todd Schorr at San Jose Museum of Art June 20th - September 16th
Posted 8/14/09

The Todd Schorr show at the San Jose Museum of Art is an assault. The artist grabs you and wrings you out, then you stagger away, dazed. Mr. Schorr is important, a fact nicely recognized by the SJMA in this very large solo show, which gathers paintings from a myriad of collections, such as that of Leonardo DeCaprio. This retrospective features works as far back as the mid-80s, I seem to recall, with a brief stop in the early 1990s with some mid-size pieces, before dashing forward at breakneck spe... [more]

Louise LeBourgeois at Dolby Chadwick Gallery July 2nd - August 29th
Posted 7/27/09

And now for something completely different. Louise LeBourgeois's work, currently on view at Dolby Chadwick Gallery, is light, airy, and serene. LeBourgeois's meditation on water is minimal landscape—well, seascape—at its best. Each of the eight pieces from LeBourgeois's water series are created from the same, basic format: the deceptively calm, flat expanse of sea, the deep blue sky, the clouds. These are seascapes stripped down to their bare elements to such an extreme that the spacial... [more]

Posted 7/11/09

Interim Infills—a 3.5 hour public intervention featuring site-specific work by thirteen artists—took place in what co-curators Sally Szwed and Dan Phelan described as an “underused and underappreciated urban matrix.” Taking the form of a walking tour, the exhibition spanned a complex tangle of roads, ramps, pedestrian walkways, bridges, and meridians above and below the freeway interchange at Cesar Chavez Street and Potrero Avenue in San Francisco. Each work had a fairly ephemeral and porta... [more]
