The Moraga Art Gallery greets summer with a new exhibit, entitled “Connectivity,” to suggest its wide appeal to art fans of all stripes, from June 3rd to August 16th, and featuring the watercolors of George Ehrenhaft and acrylic paintings of Angelica Samame.
The Gallery will also be featuring the work of guest artist, Linda Yoshizawa, monotype prints and solar etchings.
A reception will be held on Saturday, June 20 from 5:00 to 7:00 pm. The public is invited to view the art, chat with the artists, enjoy wine, light snacks, and music by the Lee Waterman Duo.
Member artist, Angelica Samame, is known for blazingly colorful, whimsical stylized renditions of women at leisure — e.g., having a tete-a-tete over tea, cuddling a pet cat, arranging flowers in a vase.
The exhibit also features the watercolors of George Ehrenhaft, who revels in landscapes near and far. Resistant to being pegged a painter of a certain type, he wanders from realistic to vaguely abstract styles, and has evolved into what he calls a “visionary realist,” which means that his paintings are typically a little visionary and a little realistic.
Guest artist, Linda Yoshizawa‘s artwork reflects the mixing of two cultural sensibilities- America and Japanese. She is inspired by elements in nature and refers to them as metaphors for the human condition. For several years she created momoprints with water soluble inks, using plate oil as a resist. Her more recent works are predominantly editions of Solarplate etchings, which allows her to focus on details of each image in an intimate way.
Visit the Gallery: Open Wednesday through Sunday from 12p-5pm.
Address: 432 Center Street in Moraga’s Rheem Shopping Center, next to Nation’s.
