Taking a hike

Taking in the vista as we hiked up to Catherine Palmers home studio

This past week San Francisco was besides itself as bright blue skies brought sunshine and warmth to every corner of the city. On one of these recent glorious spring mornings we trekked up to Catherine Palmer’s home studio just below Twin Peaks.

Taking Shape at Hang Art

HANC_05_13

Like forms emerging gradually from the fog, the abstract paintings of Fain Hancock and Lisa Kairos exist in the space of liminal perception. Through each artist’s unique, complex process that is both additive and reductive, the collection celebrates subtle and austere beauty.

Join us tonight to see the paintings appear before your eyes.


The Stream of Art

David Regan

David Regan, Consciousness into Consciousness

There is always a steady stream of new artwork coming into the gallery. Like a stream, sometimes it flows as a babbling brook while other times it gushes like a mighty river. This spring, as if prompted by the snowmelt high in the Sierras, our artists have been bringing us some great new artworks. While you can always keep track of the newest and freshest art on our website here we wanted to point out some gems you may have missed.  Read the rest of this entry »


In the Studio with Gail Ragains

It takes a lot of hard work, dedication, and time to create a unique body of work for a solo exhibition. Usually after all of that build up an artist wants to take a well deserved break from the studio. Initially, we were a little surprised to hear that Gail Ragains was back in the studio so quickly after her successful exhibition In the Moment last month. That is, until we saw this short video of Gail working in her studio. Shot by her nephew, Aaron Holmgren, the video details the artist in her studio surrounded by soft light, blooming flowers, and her trusty dog Tango. With all of that waiting in her studio, why would any sensible artist want to be anywhere else?

The Vast Horizon

A collection of Katherine Valentine paintings leveled along the horizon line

From a grid to clusters and even a tight grouping we are fans of finding interesting ways to hang artwork. Currently up on the gallery walls we have taken a group of  new Katherine Valentine landscape paintings and hung them along the horizon line. The grouping creates the effect of one varied and long landscape, taking the strengths of each individual painting and amplifying them exponentially.

What do you think about this arrangement? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
