CALENDAR

HOSFELT GALLERY–SAN FRANCISCO

An exhibition of more than two decades of work by Uruguayan artist Marco Maggi will be on view from September 6 through October 15, 2022. Maggi is known for his virtuoso drawings and conceptually driven installations. Using his abstracted lexicon, he has drawn in relief on aluminum foil, carved everyday objects like rulers or apples and inscribed plexiglass to create drawings that are only visible when they cast a shadow.

Viewers are compelled to move close, slow down, stand on tiptoe, look obliquely, even crawl on the ground in an effort to make sense of these encryptions. In so doing, viewers physically act out Maggi’s metaphor for understanding: one must alter one’s perspective in order to find deeper meaning in this world.

The gallery is located at 260 Utah Street, San Francisco, CA. For more information, please call 415.495.5454 or visit hosfelt.com.

WILLIAM TURNER GALLERY–SANTA MONICA

Jimi Gleason has spent his career exploring the reflective possibilities of a painterly surface. “By using an iridescent surface coat, I have managed to create visual spaces that respond to both the play of light and the location of the viewer,” he says. Mixing nontraditional materials such as silver deposit with acrylic paints, Gleason’s surfaces are highly reactive to light and shifts in the viewer’s position.

To achieve his luminous surfaces, Gleason utilizes industrial materials — silver nitrate to be exact— in a process he’s been investigating and applying for over a decade. Performing an act of sheer alchemy, Gleason treats acrylic-coated canvases with a chemical mixture, which he then sprays with silver nitrate solution transforming the surfaces into sterling sheets of metal. The exhibit runs for September 24 through October.

The gallery located at 2525 Michigan Avenue, Suite E-1, Santa Monica, CA, For more information please call 310.453.0909 or visit williamturner.com.

WINFIELD GALLERY–CARMEL

Holly Lane, Unexpected Friends can be seen at the Winfield Gallery through September 23. California artist Lane’s work conjures an earlier time when artisans dedicated long hours to fabricating elaborate, process-bound projects like mosaics, illuminated manuscripts and stained glass windows. She paints intimate, jewel-like scenes and sets them into her own imaginatively designed and hand-crafted framing structures. Much of her current work centers on scenes of the natural world and its animal inhabitants, particularly birds. Lane recently relocated to an area of central California visited annually by thousands of migratory birds. This wetland-filled environment has made a big impact on her. She takes long walks, photographing animal life of all kinds, as well as other features of the landscape to use as a reference for her painting and carving. Her elaborate framing structures are not simply holders for her paintings, but are intrinsic to them. In conceptualizing this relationship, she describes painting as a vision of the mind’s eye and the frame as a bodily space with texture and form like a sculpture.

The gallery is located at Dolores between Ocean & 7th in Carmel, CA. For more information please call 831.624.3369 or visit winfieldgallery.com
