When it is infused with memory, longing, competing pathos and joy, and an all-pervading wistfulness. Long Shadows is a painting of feeling, a story we can all understand. Is this the favored baby of our child, now grown or gone? Is it the comforting friend of our own childhood, still potent in its comforting balm? It is, of course, all of these and more. This is the magic of Maura Carta’s art. Also… I like bunnies. Curator's Choice - Vanessa Callanta, Curator Spence Snyder Kelly's Space (2025) Oil Painting Vanessa: I love the intimate workspaces that are artists’ studios. They’re always fascinating to see, to see what the artist has around them for inspiration, to see all the different materials they use. This is not just Kelly’s “space,” but a portrait of Kelly herself as she wanders around and works in it. It’s a wonderful glimpse into the subject’s creative process. The painting is well executed, and the details are enjoyable to look at. I especially adore the fluffy white and brown cat peering out of the canvas toward the viewer (because oftentimes our animal friends make the best studio companions). Curator's Choice - Bryan Callanta, Curator of Digital Programming Stanley Peterson China Cove (2021) Acrylic painting Bryan: I was immediately drawn to this painting upon seeing it. I really like this work for its creative approach in depicting this beautiful coastal scene. The varying linework creates attractive textures that leads your eye throughout the composition, and I enjoy the artist’s use of bright and bold colors. To me, it’s a very well executed and unique painting.

Shifting Terrain Mark Engel AUG 16 - JAN 4 Will be on View in the Marquee: Shifting Terrain , 2024, acrylic and spray paint on canvas Permanent Gallery < Back Overview Mark Engel is a figurative painter whose practice investigates the body as a site of transformation, perception, and psychological depth. Drawing on themes of connection, involution, and the fluid nature of selfhood, Engel constructs layered compositions that merge the figure with elements of landscape, gesture, and abstraction. His paintings explore the tension between form and dissolution, using fragmentation and distortion to reflect transitional states and the porous boundaries between interior and exterior experience. Engel’s approach is rooted in process and intuition. Each composition unfolds through cycles of addition and subtraction, allowing unconscious associations and emotional resonance to emerge. By balancing structure with flux, his work invites reflection on the instability of identity in a world shaped by constant change and relational complexity. He has exhibited widely in solo and group exhibitions, including Shapeshifters at Know Future Gallery, Constellations at Vargas Gallery, and group shows at Baton Rouge Gallery Center for Contemporary Art, Limner Gallery in New York, and 33 Contemporary Gallery in Chicago. His work has been featured in Create! Magazine, Artsin Square, and Curatory Magazine. Engel is a professor at Mission College in Santa Clara, California, and has contributed to arts education through teaching residencies and faculty exhibitions. His ongoing exploration of the figure offers a visual language for the complexities of becoming. Artist Statement I use the human figure as a central motif to explore themes of connection, transformation, and involution. My work revolves around the ever-changing motion of selfhood and explores the dynamic interplay between external forces and internal experiences. Process is an essential component in my work, and I build compositions that combine the figure with landscape, fragmentation, distortion, and gesture to reflect transitional states. Relying heavily on intuition, I feel my way through each composition by adding and subtracting elements to arrive at an image that is broader than my conscious awareness and infuses the work with a deeper level of meaning. I strive to find a balance between retaining form and dissolving into abstraction to capture the fluid nature of becoming and soften the boundaries between self and other. Previous Next

Urban Visions: Life in Motion Dean Larson AUG 16 - DEC 7 Will be on View in the Marquee: Saturday In The Park , oil on canvas Cowell Gallery < Back Overview Artist Dean Larson was the winner of the 2024 Salon at the Triton Art Competition. Larson was raised in Palmer, Alaska where he first learned painting under the mentorship of Alaskan Artist Fred Machetanz. After graduating from Willamette University in Salem, Oregon Dean moved to Baltimore, Maryland for graduate studies at the Schuler's School of Fine Art and Towson University. In 1997 the artist moved to San Francisco, CA. He has long been associated with the resurgence of the American Contemporary Realist movement. Dean has written books, been featured in numerous art periodicals, has mounted over twenty-five solo exhibitions, and has been featured in over fifty group shows in museums and galleries across the U. S. He is a well-traveled artist who thrives on diversity and is constantly searching for new subjects. He is adept with cityscapes, landscapes, portraits, and interiors. Through the use of compelling compositions and harmonious colors he draws the viewer into his canvases. Dean's commissioned portraits and studio paintings can be found in museums and other public collections in the United States and Europe. Larson also has taught painting (mainly cityscape and landscape) at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco since 2006. He maintains a studio near Mission Dolores, the original Spanish Mission in San Francisco. Larson has painted the portraits of Senator Ted Stevens which hangs in the United States Capitol in Washington D.C. and Senator Mark Hatfield which hangs at Willamette University. Larson's work is also included in the collections of the United States Institute of Peace (USIP), the Alaska State Capitol, Triton Museum of Art and Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery. For more information visit www.deanmlarson.com , or www.instagram.com/deanlarson07 Artist Statement Dean Larson Urban Visions: Life in Motion Over the past several years two central themes have consistently attracted and inspired my artist’s eye. The first motif is life in the city. Having relocated from Alaska and Maryland to California in 1997, the Bay area and in particular, San Francisco, became an instant source of diverse and compelling subject matter. From Russian Hill to North Beach, from Market Street to Golden Gate Park, the city that changes constantly presents new perceptions and subjects. The focus on what it means to be a contemporary realist is constantly at the forefront when planning new work. It’s never enough to simply copy what’s in front of you. There is a desire to go deeper and search for what is most significant and essential. Intentional soft blurs contrast with hard edges to have objects and figures come forth and recede and fuse to backgrounds within pictorial spaces. With my second subject, figures, I search for accidental moments where people reveal the variety of the human experience and also show glimpses of what it means to be living and working in modern society. Sometimes it is a lone figure and other times there is a group of figures where the relationships between the figures are closely observed, highlighting the gestures of each figure and the group as a whole. The search for mass shapes and abstract patterns that, by working through my painting process, eventually becomes more realistic, unique designs challenge and inspire me to keep painting each and every day.
