Rejuvenation — Solo Exhibition in Albany, CA (Gouache)
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, 1249 Marin Ave, Albany, CA 94706.
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 paintings 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.
