JUNE FELTER-Then and Now- Featuring works spanning 40 plus years of a life in art, June Felter has distilled from her everyday domestic life a wide range of subjects: figures, landscapes, both urban and rural; and table-top still life watercolors. “Felter reconstructs and elaborates on what was once seen but is no more. For June Felter, painting remains an act grounded in skill and accident, and a process that is both familiar and mysterious, intimate and formal” (Whitney Chadwick). Baer Ridgway BRENDAN LOTT: Paintings of the Vernacular- Brendan Lott's artistic production reflects the voice that our visually dominated culture copiously generates and distributes through the Internet. The subjects of his paintings are images harvested from the ubiquitous cyber-debris that the modern age of digital photography has cultivated, yielding a surplus of amateur snapshots from which to choose and subsequently transform.  Catharine Clark Gallery SANDOW BIRK: American Qur’an- an ongoing project to hand-transcribe and illuminate the Holy Qur'an with scenes from contemporary American life. PACKARD JENNINGS: Afghanistan 1985-a video montage recasting Ronald Reagan into the film Rambo III to explore propaganda and our understanding of other cultures and war through the media.  Chandler Fine Art LINDA HOPE: Moving Objects- a solo exhibition of paintings by San Francisco-based artist Linda Hope. This show will include recent paintings as well as some earlier works that will act as a link to the new pieces. Ms Hope's paintings are visual and metaphorical manifestations of the spiritual concerns and internal personal investigations of life. They have an elusive familiarity that draws in the viewer without the need to struggle with intellectual mediation.  Fivepoints Arthouse Fivepoints Arthouse is very proud to announce its first biennial show, In Bloom. A group show exhibiting the newest work has been assembled from the best artists displayed from the 40 exhibitions since September 2007. Participating artists include: Winston Smith, Erik Parra, Ben Johnston, Jamie Spinello, Jessica Laurent, Ben Venom, Josh Barone, Rachel Hornaday, and Luke Butler.  Crown Point Press Crown Point Press announces an exhibition of prints by a diverse group of artists whose subject matter focuses on process. Tomma Abts, the focus of this exhibition, makes small-scale, consistently-sized paintings and drawings. This past spring she completed five color etchings, her first project at Crown Point Press. Also included in this exhibition are prints by Terry Fox, Markus Raetz, Ed Ruscha, and Richard Tuttle.  BEN NIXON, HENDRIK PAUL, and SUSAN SEUBERT: Lightning, Lava, and Bombs- Featuring the most beautiful destruction. A show that features nine tiny bombs beautifully frozen, lightning illuminating the Polish countryside and landscapes that lava left transformed.  SF Camerawork An Autobiography of the San Francisco Bay Area - Part 1: San Francisco Plays Itself In recognition of SF Camerawork’s 35th anniversary, this first of a two-part exhibition explores the work of artists that have contributed to the cultural landscape of the San Francisco Bay Area in a significant way through a practice that is in dialogue with the events and the people of the region. The cumulative effect of these works exhibited together serve in an autobiographical capacity that is inclusive and representative of a dynamic, multi-faceted and multi-cultural region. San Francisco Plays Itself relays many stories and explores ways that artists document their lives and the lives of others, address specific events, and engage with the landscape of the Bay Area.  Sculpturesite Gallery BELLA FELDMAN - JP LONG: Dialogue- In the nine years since JP Long walked into Bella Feldman’s studio as an assistant, their relationship has grown into a prolific and creative working partnership between two accomplished professional sculptors. Their cross fertilization of ideas has enabled Long to develop into an established artist in his own right and has opened for Feldman fresh avenues of exploration in what has already been a distinguished career. “This exhibition,” says Feldman, “illustrates the crossover as well as the differentiation of ideas between us." Sculpturesite Gallery is pleased to present the first joint exhibition by these two remarkable artists.  Varnish Fine Art
