(see times)
17 October - 5 December; Reception 17 October 4-6 pm; Gallery Hours Tues, Wed, Fri, Sat: 10am - 5:30pm; Thurs: 11am - 7pm
In his first solo exhibition on the West Coast, German artist Cornelius Volker, painting with extraordinary prowess and sensuality as well as uncanny awareness and insight, chooses traditional genres - the still life and portrait - to explore and decode the history of representational painting.
Frequently choosing subject matter that was used by painters for centuries to best exhibit their proficiency - hair, hands, flesh, glass, food - Volker's works blur traditional distinctions between genres, each painting becoming both a still life and a portrait.
