Opening Reception to "Rejuvenation — Winter to Spring", a solo exhibition in Albany, CA

 

 

Yesterday afternoon, the reception to my solo exhibition "Rejuvenation — Winter to Spring" took place. 

This art exhibition in Albany Community Center Foyer Art Gallery contains 14 gouache paintings I completed in the last three years, recording our collective emergence from frigid winter into a slowly thawing spring. These paintings and abstractions of landscape, juxtaposing dark hues and bright colors, rigid lines, and sensuous washes, echoing contradicting characteristics and features, reflect the shifting of seasons and moods. The show ends on June 26.

 

After several days of severe storms, balmy spring days arrived this weekend, inviting quite a few people to attend the opening reception on a beautiful spring afternoon. I was grateful for the opportunity to share my experiences and my art with these very supportive friends and art lovers.

 

Finally, spring had arrived.

Rejuvenation — Winter to Spring, a solo exhbition in Albany, CA

From March 24 through June 26, I will present 14 gouache paintings in a solo exhibition “Rejuvenation — Winter to Spring” at Albany Community Center Foyer Art Gallery.

The onset of the warm and colorful spring, dislodging frosty and somber winter, is a time for the revival and rejuvenation of nature and human spirits, and is an occasion to celebrate.

The 14 pieces presented are gouache on paper, most painted under the shadow of the pandemic, recording our collective emergence from frigid winter into a slowly thawing spring. These paintings and abstractions of landscape, juxtaposing dark hues and bright colors, rigid lines and sensuous washes, echoing contradicting characteristics and features, reflect the shifting of seasons and moods.
