DZINE Gallery is pleased to announce the opening of Cracking Nutshells, a group exhibition exploring themes of construction and deconstruction in various media. Curated by Philip Bewley, the exhibition features work by 32 San Francisco Bay Area artists, with a number of commissioned works created exclusively for the show, including large-scale installations and more intimate works. The works of art in Cracking Nutshells are concerned with form, geometry and information systems; the subversion of worlds turned upside-down; questioning where construction and deconstruction meet; and examining the process of creating art itself.

During the opening night reception, San Francisco’s award-winning Opera Parallèle will perform throughout the evening, inaugurating the company’s six-month residency at DZINE. Choreographer Amy Seiwert of the Sacramento Ballet will collaborate with Opera Parallèle to provide an accompanying dance to the musical performance. Pop-up dance performances by RAWdance will also take place throughout the gallery during the evening.

Exhibiting artists in Cracking Nutshells: Emilia Burchiellaro, Ronald Chase, Diane Tate DallasKidd, Paule Dubois Dupuis, Austin Forbord, Laura Hapka, Dana Harel, Jeanne Hauser, Howard Hersh, Scott Idleman, Gina Jacupke, Nina Katz, Sasinun Kladpetch, Barbara Bryn Klare, Yoko Kubrick, Sharon Kyle Kuhn, Ellen Markoff, Adia Millett, Leslie Morgan, Sherry Parker, Lauren Parks, Jenny Phillips, Carrie Ann Plank, Silvia Poloto, Lucky Rapp, Rachelle Reichert, Georgina Reskala, Kenneth Sloan, Gioi Tran, Nikki Vismara, Victoria Welling and Quinn Wharton.

Huge thank you to everyone that came to The Venice Kinney this past weekend for the stARTup Art Fair LA at The Kinney Hotel in Venice Beach. I had a lot of interest in people wanting to purchase a duvet cover with my painting on it, so I am looking into making that happen. The event was a lot of work but I had a great time. I still have several of the Cuba mirror paintings and gold leaf mirror paintings available for purchase, please email me for purchase.

DZINE Gallery, the San Francisco design destination, has announced the opening of its latest exhibition, Tracks and Echoes, on October 27, 2017. Curated by DZINE Gallery’s Philip Bewley, the show features work by 22 local San Francisco artists including commissioned pieces created exclusively for the event. Tracks and Echoes will be the sixth show hosted by DZINE Gallery as part of their ongoing series of gallery events in support of local artists.

During the Oct. 27 opening night reception, countertenor Matheus Court and pianist Keisuke Nakagoshi from San Francisco’s award-winning Opera Parallèle will perform throughout the evening, launching the company’s six-month residency at DZINE. To complete her residency from the previous show, choreographer Amy Seiwert of the Sacramento Ballet will collaborate with Opera Parallèle to provide an accompanying dance to the musical performance. The music will be expressed in the video art of Future Fires projected onto the walls above the performers for a truly multidimensional, multimedia experience.

For Tracks and Echoes, the artists explore visual, temporal, and spatial dimensions using line and repetition in works of fine art. An additional theme reflects the timing of the show from winter to spring and the moods of these seasons found in the poetry of classic Japanese haiku, where the words "tracks” and "echoes" could be “kigo” or seasonal words. In this tradition, winter is a subject of memory; of things stripped to their elements, and an expression of an exquisite, if spare, beauty. The show progresses from the quiet, yet intense beauty of winter, to more polychrome works that suggest the stirrings of spring and the eternal cycle of renewal.

Exhibiting artists in Tracks and Echoes include: Paule Dubois Dupuis, Austin Forbord, Diane Foug, Laura Hapka, Howard Hersh, Gina Jacupke, Barbara Bryn Klare, Adia Millett, Lian Ng, Melissa Parhm, Lauren Parks, Carrie Ann Plank, Lucky Rapp, Rachelle Reichert, Georgina Reskala, Kenneth Sloan, Tabitha Soren, Christopher Stark, Jessie Thatcher, Nikki Vismara, Victoria Welling and Jon Wessel.

The opening reception on Oct. 27 is from 6-9 PM and is free and open to the public. DZINE Gallery is located at 128 Utah Street in San Francisco. For more information, visit www.dzinegallery.com.
