< Back Khat Zorig & Kyle Dell'Aquila SEPT 28 - JAN 5 Energies Khat and Kyle are partners in life, business, and creativity. They explore the intersection of nature, humanity, and machines. Their work embodies the cross-section of internal and external energies with the shared mission of empowering those often overlooked. Khat’s energies focus on internal empowerment, nurturing resilience, and healing within individuals, particularly the underprivileged. On the other hand, Kyle's energies are channeled into external empowerment, manifesting through technological innovation and artistic expression. Artist Statement: Our commitment is challenging the status quo and envisioning a future where creativity, technology, and courage intersect to shape our better world. This commitment was inspired and encouraged by our mentor, Bill Warner, a visionary who transformed the film industry. His influence motivated us to follow our energies and create ZORIG, which means "Courage" in Mongolian. It is not just a sci-fi movie and futureware brand; it embodies the spirit of bravery and the conviction to speak and act from the heart. Through ZORIG, we explore the power of science fiction as a medium to dream and visualize the future we want to live in - one that’s nature-loving, techno-optimistic, and humanity empowering. Movies profoundly impact shaping mindsets and influencing the collective imagination, yet the current state of the film industry disheartens us. Real stories are often overlooked, lacking diversity, and commercial interests frequently stifle creativity. Our mission is to disrupt this narrative by telling stories our way, inspiring change, and empowering the underrepresented. Our work extends beyond the screen into the tangible world of fashion. We have seen the devastating effects of the fashion industry on the environment, and we refuse to contribute to its harmful practices. Instead, we embrace a made-to-order approach, ensuring that every piece we create is a statement of power, style, as well as a commitment to sustainability and responsible consumption. Both through our futuristic Mongolian themes and our earth-loving designs, we hope to make people feel like powerful techno-warriors when they’re wearing our garments. As we continue to develop our sci-fi movie, we release snippets and showcase products that reflect the themes and values of our story. Each piece we create is a fusion of art, technology, and storytelling, designed to inspire others to imagine and build the future we all deserve. Previous Next

< Back Phillip Hua SEP 28 - JAN 12 You Can Never Go Home Again Phillip Hua is a South Bay Area native whose art speaks of the delicate relationship between nature and commerce. As someone familiar with the ever-changing landscape of the Silicon Valley, Hua visualizes this shift in his art using unique processes that combine creative digital and traditional techniques. His work presents a call to be aware of how we're affecting the world around us and to question what our priorities are. This exhibition will include a selection of the artist's 2D works. Artist Statement: When I was growing up in San Jose, fields, orchards and wild, undeveloped lots were abundant. In the house that I spent most of my adolescent years in, there was a small personal farm behind our backyard. I could hear crickets when I went to bed. Today, that small farm is now replaced by new housing. The nights are mostly silent. The fields and orchards that I remembered are now office parks and commercial spaces. Where the change has been an economic boon to the Bay Area, I question what was replaced. The tide of redevelopment fueled by the relentless march of tech washed away so much of the beauty of nature. My memories of San Jose no longer align with what it is today. My artistic process is a blend of traditional and digital techniques, revolving around creating photo composites that I print, rework, scan, and digitally rework again. I incorporate dots to represent printing, ink bleeds to represent painting, and squares to represent pixels, influenced by our blended digital and corporeal lives. I draw inspiration from Asian brush painting, technology, and nature. While political, my goal is to always lure the viewer with beauty and color to provoke contemplation. This exhibition draws from over 17 years of work, ranging from portraits that invoke nostalgia and childhood to works that portray the intersection of the environment with the economy. Previous Next

< Back Tamera Avery SEP 21 - JAN 5 Tamera Avery: Slipstream The Triton Museum of Art presents Tamera Avery: Slipstream by Bay Area Artist, Tamera Avery. At once surreal and sublime, Tamera Avery's monumental paintings feature masked and costumed figures situated in liminal spaces. From glacial edges to post-nuclear bunkers, these environments are imbued with both potential and uncertainty: within them, young individuals navigate unconventional paths, transforming everyday objects into symbolic armor. Tamera Avery: Slipstream will be showcased in the Permanent Collection Gallery. Artist Statement: My work is a celebration of youth, where the young are the champions of change in flawed social, political, and environmental landscapes. Faced with ever-mounting global change, the young have the knowledge to understand what is at stake and—with their increasingly powerful voices—the ability to rearrange the balance of power. To shift this balance visually, my subjects wear masks and costumes that augment their agency and the space they take up. Originally prompted by folk carnivals celebrating the arrival of spring, I employ found images and objects along with homemade costumes to portray figures modest in composition but heroic in execution. Through a process starting with collage, isolated images function as vocabulary, deconstructing visual truths and reconstructing them into stories that call for action. Using imagery from the White House to Chernobyl, icebergs to abandoned ships, I work at the intersection of the current reality and the possibility of change to tell a story of hope in a landscape of despair—with armor-clad youth standing in the path of destruction.

< Back Priyanka Rana AUG 30 - JAN 11 Our Stories Live Underground Born in India in 1980 and now based in San Francisco's Bay Area, I established my full-time sculpture practice in 2018 after serving as Vice President in the exhibitions industry and working as a market research consultant. My practice centers on an intimate dialogue with wood—specifically naturally felled trunks that I transform into abstract sculptures exploring ecology, memory, and cross-cultural connection. Largely self-taught, I have developed a distinctive sculptural language through direct experimentation with materials, allowing me to create techniques that emerge organically from the wood itself rather than from prescribed methodologies. My technical approach lies in a unique process I have developed with fire. Drawing from my Indian heritage, where fire represents sacred transformation, I use controlled charring to "paint" wooden surfaces, revealing the hidden architecture of growth rings and grain. This technique—exemplified in my redwood sculptures—involves expanding the wood's surface area threefold through careful carving, then applying fire to create rich, textured finishes that speak to cycles of destruction and renewal. The resulting works transform solid mass into something ethereal, making visible the temporal layers embedded within the material. Beyond wood, I incorporate culturally significant textiles—saris and lungis from my multicultural community, as well as individual sari threads that I weave into carved surfaces—that bridge themes of migration and intimate history with larger environmental narratives. Recent explorations have expanded into aluminum, metal casting of wood forms, and 3D printing, maintaining my focus on the intersection of traditional craft and contemporary concerns. My work has been widely exhibited across California, featured in prominent arts festivals, and realized through public art commissions that engage directly with local communities. I hold degrees in Mathematics and Economics and an MBA. Artist Statement: It took me a long time to own that I am an artist. Beginning my sculpture practice late in life, I discovered in wood a collaborative partner willing to tell stories—both mine and its own. The title of this exhibition, borrowed from Terry Tempest Williams' "When Women Were Birds," speaks to the hidden narratives that live beneath the surface, waiting for the right conditions to emerge. This exhibition spans several series from my practice, exploring themes of memory, nostalgia, and destiny while reflecting on healing, human behavior, and our relationships with the natural world. It bridges the cultural heritage of my Indian origins with the multicultural fabric of my Bay Area home. In our increasingly disconnected world, trees offer profound lessons about interdependence—their underground networks remind us that isolation is an illusion, that we are constantly in relationships through unseen connections. As you encounter these works, I invite you to pause and reflect: Which of your own stories live underground? What narratives are waiting to be revealed? These sculptures ask for slower looking, deeper listening, reminding us that the most profound stories—like the most resilient forests—grow their strongest connections underground, in the dark, patient spaces where transformation quietly takes root.

< Back Nathan Oliveira JAN 11 - APR 19 Nathan Oliveira: Variations on Form Born in Oakland, California, Nathan Oliveira was a leading artist in the Bay Area Figurative Movement. Oliveira earned his bachelor's and master's degrees in fine art from the California College of Arts and Crafts (now California College of the Arts) in San Francisco. He was a professor of art at Stanford University for 32 years. Collaborations: In tandem with this exhibition, Pacific Art League of Palo Alto will also be showcasing another exhibition of Nathan Oliveira’s work - Origins of Flight: The Windhover Studies by Nathan Oliveira (February 7 - March 25, 2025). Artist Statement: Oliveira’s invented forms live just outside the realm of possibility. The artist Nathan Oliveira (1928-2010) liked to say that he thought of himself as an abstract artist whose work “had to be about something.” That “something,”—most often a human figure, but sometimes an animal, wing, head or mask—was the physical manifestation of Oliveira’s poetic imagination; an invented form that lives just outside the realm of possibility. Over the long span of his career Oliveira worked in a variety of media including painting, drawing, lithography monotype and sculpture, challenging himself to create forms with an air of mystery that allowed room for his viewers to find their own meanings. “I set it up to the degree that it gives you something recognizable to interact with,” he once offered, "and if you’re creative, you create your own metaphor.” The works on view at the Triton, selected from the artist’s estate by him son Joseph, will present examples of Oliveira’s evocations of form in both two and three dimensions. In the Cowell Room Gallery oil paintings ranging from small studies of faces to a monumental canvas from the "Windhover" series will demonstrate the artist’s engagement with the flexibility of the oil medium. A selection of bronzes—including masks and figures—will show how Oliveira’s painterly sensibility remained tangible in the sensitive surfaces of his three dimensional works. In the Triton’s Rotunda, where works on paper will be featured, examples of the artist’s "Imi" and "Santa Fe" watercolors of female figures will join a series of lithographs from the 1960s. Olivera’s fluid watercolors, in which he allowed the paint to form rivers and pools that soak into the paper then coalesce into figures, are among his most distinctive inventions. Committed to the idea that making art involved finding unique forms Nathan Oliveira: Variations of Form will offer a fresh opportunity for viewers to encounter the myriad forms of his personal universe and appreciate them on their own terms.
