Dolby Chadwick Gallery presents 'Paintings from Home,' its second exhibition with the accomplished San Francisco-based artist Emilio Villalba.
From intimate portraits of his wife, Michelle, and his closest friends, to amalgamations of objects that could be found in his kitchen, his studio, the market, or the street, Villalba builds scenes from his life by way of his unique visual language: building thick layers of bright, glossy oil paint onto the canvas. Each composition featured in the show bursts with life and individuality. The maximalist aesthetic on the canvases speaks to his remarkable ability to capture the essence of everyday life. Strange, tumultuous, profound, and beautiful--all at once.
