Artist in Conversation: Stephen Beal and Lawrence Rinder
at Sarah Shepard Gallery
(6:30-8:00 pm)
Sarah Shepard Gallery is hosting an Artist in Conversation on Thursday, May 22nd, 6:30-8pm, with Stephen Beal and Lawrence Rinder.
Please join Sarah Shepard Gallery on Thursday, May 22nd, 6:30-8pm, for an Artist in Conversation with Stephen Beal and Lawrence Rinder. Selected Works is a solo exhibition of paintings by Bay Area artist Stephen Beal and will be on view April 24-May 31, 2025.
The grid--ubiquitous, logical, resolute, infinite--acts as inspiration, structure, and image in Beal's work. In these paintings, the penciled matrices function as vehicles to explore the subtleties of color and brush stroke. Selected Works includes some of Beal's smaller white paintings, a selection of earlier dot paintings in varied colors, and a series of new black paintings. With grid as structure and paint as subject, this collection of work offers a musical reflection on an illustrious visual form.
Stephen Beal lives and works in the San Francisco Bay Area. His work has been widely exhibited at George Lawson Gallery, Mark Wolfe Contemporary Art, Bucheon Gallery, Chicago Cultural Center, Galereya A3, Oliver Art Center, and School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Beal served as President of California College of the Arts (CCA) from 2008-2023, before which he was the provost.
Lawrence Rinder is Director Emeritus of the UC Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive. Previously, he served as Dean of the College at the California College of the Arts and Curator of Contemporary Art at the Whitney Museum of American Art. He is currently living in France where he works for Kadist and writes cozy murder mysteries set in the Luberon.
