Anticipating Abstract Expressionism

In the years during and immediately after World War II, Bay Area artists were seeking a new visual vocabulary. Figurative work became more expressionistic and more likely to incorporate aspects of abstraction. Already familiar with European abstraction, they were seeking a more nativist form of expression. By the late 40’s, most turned to non-objective abstraction. […]

The Visionary Art of Alejandro Salazar

Alejandro Salazar is an incredibly powerful and inventive artist. Born and raised in Colima, Mexico, Alejandro is essentially self taught, but the inherent sophistication of his work belies that fact. While his work has some similarities of vision with other Latin American surrealists, it is always uniquely his own. We are proud to present a […]

It is a wonderfully rich assortment bridging many periods of time, styles, and media. We are especially featuring works by gallery artists Douglas […]

The Magical World of Christian Quintin

We are pleased to exhibit a new one man show for Christian Quintin. His fantastic visionary scenes derive much of their power from his remarkable technical skills and his use of the best materials available. While the conceptual compositions are of paramount importance to the art, his technical prowess is extremely rare in contemporary art. […]

BAY AREA FIGURATIVE EXPRESSIONISM of the 20th CENTURY

Our new show is an exploration of modernistic figurative art in the era of Abstract Expressionism. Some of these artists moved back and forth between figuration and abstraction and others were strictly figurative, although generally not adhering to conventional concepts of realism. Forms are often extremely abstracted, yet clearly alluding to the human figure, animals, […]

“Recent Work by Gallery Artists” Online Exhibition

Visual artists have continued to create wonderful work in spite of the horrendous conditions of our times. We have suffered through 4 years of fascistic leadership, 3 years of widespread fires, and nearly 1 year of a killer virus, not to mention racist violence by police and others. Many people are out of work, and performing artists especially have been unable […]
