(see times)
Desta Galley presents Line, Form and Texture – a new exhibit for summer of 2015, featuring paintings and ceramic sculptures from local Bay Area artists. The public is invited to a meet and greet artist reception on Friday, June 19th. Desta’s renowned hand-blended tea infused cocktails, champagne and light appetizers will be served.
The artists:
Jeff McLane – Painter
Jeff is a San Francisco native and received a Bachelor of Fine Art from San Diego State University in 1988 and a Master of Landscape Architecture from UC Berkeley in 1991. His latest work is inspired by studies in science and the arts, and the implications of meaning: How we organize, map, and navigate the internal landscape as an ephemeral, changing and deeply personal space. The pieces are composed of atmospheric fields, with line, texture, form, and edges developed from shapes and colors in the fields. Each piece is developed through an intensive process of layering and removal of the media. The media is acrylic paint, gesso, graphite sticks and powder, and ink on acrylic and watercolor papers using spreading, wiping, scraping, sketching, drafting, and painting techniques. He uses tools that are made for sculpture and other arts to apply the media to paper, metal and glass plates, wires and scrapers, brushes, sand paper, wipes, and sponges. The work is spontaneous and gestural, detailed and refined.
Jennifer Hirshfield – Painter
Jennifer is a graduate of the University of California, Davis. Her latest work, “Person, Place, or Thing”, is a cumulative body of work that highlights and investigates the figure, landscapes, the idea of place, essential beings and objects. All are tied together in these paintings through palette and use of like materials. Collectively the works express a story of joy, sorrow and excitement on life’s journey.
Kathy Pallie – Ceramic Sculpturist
Kathy received a BFA cum laude in Art from Boston University. Texture and surface exploration integrated with a 3-dimensional form have always been a part of her clay work. She approaches form and surface texture as one, rather than create a form to use as a canvas for painting. Most of her clay work is hand built as opposed to wheel thrown. Her hands manipulate the clay by pushing, pulling, pinching, incising and rolling, creating an effect evoking both the visual and tactile senses. She works with clay slabs, coils, and extruded shapes and uses various clay bodies, firing processes, glazes, and cold finishes to achieve her results.
