Retail: $3,000

Reserve: $900

Timepieces and Portals came to mind after I followed an impulse to loop my panoramic paintings into tondos. A portal motif may connote the celestial, an object of time transition, a gateway. My brush circulates and moves outward from the center often interrupted by a disruptive pool of color. Sometimes just a small passage is all that remains after a day of work. Other days, the entire painting will be lost. A small misstep may result in an enormous shift in direction. I constantly watch these paintings collapse with a shock of loss, yet trust I will find my way back.

Crunchtime, 2023

Watercolor on paper 20 x 18 in. (framed)

Retail: $1,200

Reserve: $500

My paintings are a built emotional refraction of space—the space that is the shadowed weight that holds an object to a surface, the space in-between my breaths, the space in-between my brushstrokes—all of which overflow with emotion. None of my world is bare-bones. I build my paintings with shadows. In this way, the white of the paper is activated as light. The light destroys the form. It is in this visible space of destruction that emotion is conveyed. The visual weight of an object’s shadow transforms into emotional weight through the lens of the viewer’s gaze.

Shifting in the Wind is a contemplation of water as both a symbolic emotional state and a physical element. Removing the horizon line amplifies the infinite space, forming an expanse that challenges us to reflect on our relationship with the presence or absence of boundaries. Water, and life, are constantly in motion; dynamic, unstable, rapid. It echoes my experience of standing at the edge; perceiving the flow as a meditation, creating space for much needed peace. Victoria Mara Heilweil is a nationally exhibited, feminist, lens-based artist based in San Francisco, CA.

Albers became well known for an approach in which he taught not with paint and brushes, but with scissors and color swatches that allowed for exploration of color through physical combinations and building of forms.

Retail: $750

Reserve: $150

This piece is a part of my exploration around perception, masculinity and desire utilizing Lenticular Acrylic sheets to distort and interrupt the gaze. Lenticular material is widely used in LED screens, monitors and devices and when separated from its technological trappings, does the opposite of generating a crisp 4K image; it bends light and creates surreal and psychedelic effects. I’m interested in the distortion that happens when we are increasingly seeing ourselves through this prism of a warped reality.

My art is a visual journey through the kaleidoscope of my imagination, where geometry becomes a playground for limitless creativity.

Each piece is a testament to the beauty of abstraction, where the mind is free to wander, explore and find meaning within the intricate dance of shapes and colors. I draw inspiration from nature, the patterns, the landscapes, the sky, my emotions, feelings and my Indian heritage that’s an infinite array of vivid colors. Through my art, I hope to awaken a sense of wonder and inspire contemplation, inviting others to see the beauty that lies beyond the surface of the endless geometric reality.

Calaveras. Skulls. The first home I remember was on the edge of nowhere. At the end of a dirt road in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada, I spent my formative years. The elemental character of this environment and its aesthetic vocabulary became archetypal for me. Earth, water, fire and wind; all in local forms. This place formed my bones and my blood, and much of what is true about me. It made what is mine, and what I have to share. It is from the residue of this experience that I form my paintings.

These pieces evoke the possibility of beauty, even in sterile environments and impossible circumstances. Like flowers growing through cement, their roots bursting the ground - buds, blooms, poppies sprouting. The moment is a living seed.

My recent series “Cultivate,” places small wooden silhouettes of people on fantastical, cloud-like organic patterns in mixed media on paper to create images firmly grounded in nature but also representing the invisible workings of the interconnected world all around us, reminiscent of Plato’s Allegory of the Cave. The word ‘cultivate’ originally referred to preparing soil for crops, but also had a root that meant giving care. Where we give care, or attention, something will grow. Are we conscious of what we are choosing to give attention to and how that impacts the world around us?

When exploring the color codes of resilient species, like the Scarab, I am astounded by lush hues and elaborate patterns of both camouflage and display. An undeniable parallel exists in the human species as we use media and communications as expressions of image and opinion. Upon closer examination I observed that uniqueness combined with the mutual goal of survival lead to greater success in self-realization. By recognizing and celebrating the diversity of resilient species, we can grow together in cooperation and discovery.

I keep in mind the concept of transformation and death, taking death as both biological cessation and acceptance of impermanence.

His studio work serves as a parallel exploration, where he delves into the nuances of color psychology and its impact on visual storytelling. Floriani seamlessly navigates between the grandeur of large-scale murals and the intimacy of studio paintings. His ability to balance these two realms reflects a profound understanding of the diverse ways art can interact with its audience.

James Moore has a large body of work in private collections and public works (cities of Palo Alto, Sunnyvale, Los Altos, Stockton, Foothill College, Kaiser Redwood City, etc.).

I think the space between one grounded place of certainty to the next is where the magic happens - in dance and in life.”

I’m Joseph, I’m from Cali but my brother and I were born in Lima, Peru, and were adopted by our American family. We were both babies when we were adopted and my bro and I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area ever since. I’m a mellow, cool, nice downto-earth type dude. I am a graffiti artist and I love drawing, listening to rap and Latin rap music and going along with the flow. I have a learning disability but that doesn’t stop me from anything. I decided to put graffiti words mixed in with doodle art as my background. One of my friends said my art and colors come to life.

100% donation to Root Division

To the Deep North is an acknowledgment of the finite nature of life as well as a celebration of its splendors. Wendy Ackrell has worked as a painter for over two decades, primarily exploring abstraction but more recently returning to figuration. Along with painting, Wendy animates and transforms natural materials such as river stones, trees and branches with paint, wool and wire, leaving them to be discovered in situ. She is of the firm belief that joy in the act of creation — and the wonder in alchemizing the quotidian into something precious and perceived anew — is a resounding yes to life. Wendy’s work has been exhibited at San Francisco’s Union Square, O’Hanlon Center for the Arts, SF Muni, the offices of Senator Scott Wiener, CounterPulse, and the de Young Museum, among other venues.

One night I had a nightmare I was standing on a glacier as its cliffs began crashing and melting over me. These apocalypse nightmares are ordinary dreams that visit me every now and then. Normalized by our climate crisis and moved by the troubling times we continue to encounter, this painting came to be. There’s an underpainting of watery beet dye splashes of blue and red. Climate anxiety serves as a warning and reminder of our interconnectedness. Together we can find our way out.

So often in Western art, the female image is portrayed as an object of male desire. But what if she’s more than that? What if she is the one who desires? And what if what she desires most is to be the hero of her own story; a creature who enjoys the sensual experience of being one with nature, immersed in water as she was in the beginning? The image of female swimmers or sea women is how I see women as intimately connected to themselves and to water.

Her works are portals, imagined passage through physical spaces to re-enter moments in time.
