GALLERY RENEE MARIE
Brian Auerbach: Obliterants (and other Brush Strokes) :
References the strains and uncertainty of the Covid 19 Virus that these works defy, symbolically at least, by their mere existence and hope filled elegant presentation. OBLITERANTS mocks, overwrites and finally reconciles the conflicts of emergence and dominance; of passing-by or seeing; embracing or missing the point of the urban stain that is the cesspool around the lotus which foments a beauty for all that. Abstracted / discordant / mutated. Giclee prints on aluminum and rag paper. Graffiti meets a visual ballet.
"Ceramics from Debbie Cooper contain both nods to traditional techniques as well as a Japanesque flavor straddling cultures and sensibility; deceptively fragile woven forms brittle as breath."
Gallerie Renee Artists from The SF Bay Area also on view through October 31:
For Carol Dalton: it's about surface that suggests depth that celebrates surface as depth itself articulating silence / longing / desperation / and strange hope; Two Pandemic works of Carol Dalton are now on view at Galleria Renee Marie in Benicia in the course of featured artist Brian Auerbach and his photo-based imagery OBLITERANTS (and Other Brush Strokes) through October.
Thalo Morse : a sculptor who comes out of the California funk school of Conners and Keinholz creates updated, yet beat, deceptively haphazard assemblages of found, lost, battered and discarded metals, hub caps , keys, car parts, circular saws and bike parts morphed into rusted majestic chrome-faced creatures of men and birds, of dogs and indeterminate playful species that make sense , exist and are strikingly individual. GRM sculpture garden and porch areas.
Fitting perfectly into this trio of visual and materials scroungers lies the highly structured organizations of The Mark Eanes Studio whose mixed media works on wooden panel breathe an antiquated air of civility and order yet also speak of distortion, of a twisted unresolved search for a nostalgia that never existed but seems to have in his paper universe laid out like crisp banknotes of logic yearning for interference and displacement, a rupture in the architecture of design which he often finds and exploits in an , oh-so-genteel way . Surprising juxtapositions of color gesture image and light. Indiana was the case .
Sculptor Mary Oros presents the fruit of her research which results in truly innovative use of materials -- concrete -- involving invented structures of form and armature. Seemingly impossible contortions of fluid drawings in space.
