Lorraine Peltz will be exhibiting some of her new works beginning this week at Micaela Gallery. She is best known for her acrylic and oil paintings featuring ornate chandeliers on dark backgrounds that look like fireworks in the night sky.
From the release:
Peltz’s paintings are complex ruminations on the nature of private identity and public persona. Using imagery culled from both personal history and the contemporary moment the current paintings include the remembered image of a particular chandelier and through its simultaneous resolution and dissolution shift the focus to memory, which can be both melancholic and exuberant. Included also in the exhibition are paintings where she joins that image with patterned flowers, starbursts, and decorative flourishes to present the now – particularly in relationship to women and culture.
What: Lorraine Peltz New Works
When: March 2, 1010 – May 1, 2010
Where: Micaela Gallery, 49 Geary St. San Francisco, CA 94108

Russell Shoemaker sent me over his work and I’ve been sucked into his world of angular forms and collage-like paintings.The last one is a digital print.

I found Jenny Gray’s lovely paintings via Jenn Ski. This moontype is called “The Modern Olive.”

Madeline Silber’s paintings are oil on linen. Stunning shapes and movement.
She currently has five paintings including Promise (above) in the 62nd Exhibition of Central New York Artists at the Munson Williams Proctor Institute Museum of Art in Utica, NY. The exhibition runs through May 2nd.
Thanks, Julie!

Oh, how I wish Jessica Snow would show us some of her new work! This piece, “Zoe’s Fourteen Hundredth Kick” is from 2008.

Amy Huddleston has a portrait series of people creating movement. This is an older one from 2005 entitled “Steve Moved.” Fantastic!

Cara Tomlinson’s soft, yet colorful abstract paintings have a playful vibe.

Shirley Kaneda’s paintings make you feel like you’re staring at oil floating on the surface of water.
