I am delighted to announce that two of my paintings were selected for the de Young Open Exhibit. It’s a community art show for Bay Area Artists at the De Young Museum in San Francisco. I am delirious with joy.
One painting (seen above) is Indoor Door. It took me forever to paint. This is currently hanging in my stairwell. I see it every day and I find that I like it more and more. This isn’t always the case with my work.
The other (seen below) is Cul-de-sac, which I completed last year. It’s the painting that started by ‘Corpse in Cul-de-sac’ series and has even been used for a record cover.
A recent San Francisco Chronicle article described exhibit and the vetting process.
Some 6,190 artists from the nine Bay Area counties applied to be part of the exhibition and sent images of 11,518 artworks spanning painting, drawing, print-making, digital art, photography, sculpture, fiber art and video. After being evaluated by curators and artist judges Hung Liu, Mildred Howard and Enrique Chagoya, 881 works created by 763 artists were selected.
At this point, because of COVID, I’m not exactly sure when the exhibit will take place, but I’ll keep you posted.
