Curator’s Statement

SquaredAlumni 2017 brings together eight of the most popular alumni from previous FourSquared exhibitions at Arc in support of local non-profit organizations. Each artist will be exhibiting four works. The exhibition is a reflection of the Arc partners’ strong and abiding interest in supporting San Francisco Bay Area art, artists and community. All of the artists in the exhibition will be donating about 20% of their proceeds to the beneficiary organizations. Arc will be donating 100% of the gallery proceeds from this exhibition to those organizations.

Curator: Michael Yochum is the co-founder of Arc Gallery & Studios, along with partners, Priscilla Otani, Matthew Frederick and Stephen Wagner. He is the managing partner for Arc Fine Arts Consulting, connecting local businesses and collectors with SF Bay Area artists.

John Arbuckle

Watercolor to Lithography Series

The goal of my work is to capture the sensuous nature of objects and their relationship to each other. I am passionately inspired about luminous light and shadow with the goal of revealing that moment of wonder.

I have mirrored my watercolor technique into a series of hand drawn herculene lithographs in collaboration with the master printers at Trillium Graphics. As each successive layer of ink builds on the former, it’s as though the inner light of each subject shines through in the final print.

Elizabeth Ashcroft

The Dissected Library I enjoy word play, the combining of random & intentional acts of creativity, and both the beauty & the absurdities of life. I’ve found the literal board-paper-thread-glue-ink-word-story essence of the book offers a unique platform to cut into, build onto and burst out of in both two and three dimensional forms. The dual function of the book as a visual object as well as a conduit for ideas is a source of constant inspiration. As a whole, I refer to my ongoing altered books series as The Dissected Library.

In the Word Garden series, I’ve culled words from within the books and brought them into new narrative relationships.

Themes are variously inspired by words from the book titles, words that catch my eye again and again, a phrase that randomly forms as the culled words lay in juxtaposition to each other on the word palette….I like the tension as they float, hover above the surface on slender stems like flowers growing in a garden of ideas. Enhancing the wordplay are small patches of colored paper that thread their way among, beside and around the words adding visual melody while their shadows create ever changing patterns below.

Monica Denevan

Songs of the River: Portraits from Burma Monica Denevan has been returning annually to the same small fishing villages in Burma for over a decade.

Away from the chaotic cities, she spends her time in tranquil places along the Irrawaddy River that change dramatically with every season, and photographs fishermen and their families. She makes intimate, stylized portraits, mostly of men and boys, in spare and graphic river settings. All of her photographs are constructed, not candid, and it is this, interactive, challenging, and intuitive process that she finds most rewarding. These images are part of an ongoing series.

Monica travels light with one camera, one lens, and a few plastic bags full of medium format film.

She prints her own silver gelatin prints in her Dogpatch darkroom in editions of 25. She is represented by Scott Nichols Gallery in San Francisco and Serindia Gallery in Bangkok. Monica lives and works in San Francisco.

Day by Day

The series Day by Day is a meditation on the life cycles found in our natural world. Nature is always changing, whether growing into full bloom or fading back into the earth with seed. I am striving to capture a moment in time.

I never underestimate the beauty of nature. I am forever in awe of the endless possibilities found there. Plants have healing properties and in the presence of them bring me peace.

My paintings are composed of many thin layers of oil paint, epoxy resin, and other mixed medias on wood panel. Through the multiple semi-transparent layers the trees and plant forms begin to occupy various spaces in the foreground and background, creating the illusion of depth. It is my hope that the viewer is invited into the painting to fully explore the imaginary environment.

Sarah M. Newton The fore-shore There is a 500 mile trail planned to run the circumference of the entire San Francisco bay, of which currently about 350 miles have been built.

This completed distance is not a continuous length but is separated by gaps where obstacles block access.

hand on the environment.

It is a marginal zone here, where industries and people are pushed out to the edges of the populated areas to face away from the cities and suburbs. On the land power plants, airports, trailer parks, jails, concrete yards and other urban outliers stand near the water’s edge. Below them are salt ponds and canals, houseboats in hidden marinas, power lines running through the marshes. It is also a marginal zone of course in that it is the very edge of the ocean; fragile, constantly changing, holding a mixed slurry of garbage and abundant life, and it will be the shifting margin where people soon will see the drastic longer-term effects of our

The drawings are of the discernible endpoints of the trail sections where they hit the construction sites, industry, and restricted areas that prevent the trail from completing the circuit. Many of those obstacles, like the airports, petroleum storage tanks, and power stations, are linked directly to the future changes that could imperil their own landscape.

In the naming of coastal zones, the foreshore is the area between the high and low water lines, most influenced by the changing tides. It is also less specifically the area between the water and developed land. To me the name has an echo of apprehension or expectancy: forecast, foresight, foreshadow.

It’s been almost 30 years that the trail has been under construction; sea level projections for 2050 could now measure the rising water in feet, not inches. In another 30 years we may be standing at the water’s edge before the circuit can be completed. website: http://sarahmnewton.carbonmade.com email: sarah@sarahmnewton.com

Tusk My content driven artwork primarily takes the form of sculpture, large-scale sculptural installations, and works on paper engendering both conceptual and poetic sensibilities. Copious research and gut instinct- a marriage of head and heart- inform the decisions in each of my site-related, site-specific, situation-responsive projects. Not unlike words in a poem, material selection along with scale and presentation become greater than the sum of their often-unrelated parts.

The driving force behind my work resides in conjoining idea and aesthetic. Often described as a draw-you-in kind of beautiful, my art embodies a strong physical presence with carefully considered and often laborious craft, yet the ideas remain paramount.

I use a variety of materials including welded steel and stainless steel, cast bronze, glass, lead, fiberglass, paper and wood. I’ve held a life-long penchant for creating sculpture out of repurposed materials, including the archival microprint paper used in the sculptures for the Tusk series. This beautiful coated paper, replete with information accessible only through magnification, was spared from the landfill when a librarian at Sonoma State University had the foresight to send it my way. I’ve enjoyed creating sculptures out of this material since 2012.

Sightseers Painting is a means of excavation. My work starts with a found image, often discarded at an estate sale or buried online. Whether it is a forgotten family snapshot or a stack of dishes, the objects are reanimated through the act of painting. In the process, lines, light, and details are dramatized and diminished, uncovering new meaning that encourages a dialogue across time.

My work has been exhibited throughout the United States, including Tinlark Gallery in Los Angeles and Red Dot Art Fair in New York. I earned a BFA from the Cleveland Institute of Art and an MFA from the California College of the Arts. I currently work in San Francisco.

Circus Twins

My work is inspired by the natural sciences, the anatomical studies of such artists as Andreas Vesalius, Bernhard Siegfried Albinus and naturalists John Gould and John James Audubon, as well as the traditional drawing and painting techniques of the old masters. I have painted several series featuring conjoined fetal twin skeletons.

These skeletal figures with severe deformities are portrayed while undertaking great feats of athleticism and grace. The challenge is to bring together the incongruity of deformity paired with perfection of movement, and make it look believable. In nature, such deformities are often incompatible with survival, but in my paintings, the little skeletons are performing in the circus, in amazing acrobatic feats requiring strength and extreme coordination. The Circus Twins paintings were inspired by Cirque du Soleil.
