Warburton Gallery EXHIBITION A Celebration of Paintings Diane Brandenburg DATES: MAY 13 - JUN 18 YEAR: 2023 Previously on view in the Warburton Gallery < Back OVERVIEW ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ! Widget Didn’t Load Check your internet and refresh this page. If that doesn’t work, contact us. "Art is one of the languages from our souls" (author unknown) The above statement resonates between my heart and my brain as I pick up a brush, dip it into water and then my palette and then onto the paper or canvas before me. Inspirational music flows in the background, awakening my senses and then I begin... So much of my art comes from past experiences. When I was younger, I climbed most of the High Sierra Peaks in Yosemite. As a result, a lifelong interest and passion was developed, to study the formations and paint the summits of many of the mountain ranges on our planet. We have a home near the ocean. So again, I am able to study the changing moods of the ocean and the cliffs that provide the boundaries for the waves to reach their destinations and dissipate. Flowers are another subject I love to study. Their shapes and sizes, their breathtaking beauty and what about the colors and shadings of their petals, that nature has created? Simply amazing! Young children, especially my grand-babies, are so fresh and innocent, when you catch them in their curious poses. Abstract art fascinates me. I love to explore colors and shapes and some of my outcomes have been exciting. However, there have also been disasters, which I accept as a learning process. In summation, I have been fortunate to study abroad and here in the United States with acknowledged and prize-winning artists: Tom Nichols, Robbie Laird, Jane Hofstetter, Dales Laitinen, Stephen Quiller and Gerald Brommer, to name a few. They encouraged and supported me through all my amateurish struggles, to become what I wanted to be. Diane Miriam Brandenburg "Perfection is an enemy to creativity..." D.M.B.

< Back Emanuela Harris Sintamarian JAN 24 - APR 26 The Theater of Premature Truths Emanuela Iuliana Harris Sintamarian is an artist originally from Romania, but currently she lives and works in Oakland, CA. Her work is informed by the relationship between her identity to her sense of displacement, and the ways she has devised to reconcile those incongruous elements. She is interested in perception, memory and the mechanics of motion, their visual translation, and the dichotomies intrinsic to them. She explores the fluidity and tension generated by contradictions: organized chaos and uncontrolled order, machine-like generated imagery, and imperfections, organized chaos and logical absurd. Ema also tends to adulterate the boundaries between representative and abstract. She leverages marks, colors, shapes, and textures to construct an undefined world, rather than mirror reality. Ema's work has been shown in solo and group shows at Sunny Art Center, London, UK; Museum of Contemporary Arts, Constanta, Romania; Museum of Art, Arad, Romania; Triton Museum in Santa Clara, CA; Jack Fischer Gallery, San Francisco, CA; the Delaware Center for the Contemporary Arts, DE; Rosenfeld Gallery in Philadelphia; Niklas Belenius Gallery in Stockholm, Sweden; Institute of Contemporary Art, CA and Angel Orensanz Foundation, New York, NY. She was the recipient of the Leigh Weimer Award, (2021), the Artist Award SVCreates, San Jose, CA (2020), the Golden Foundation Fellowship, Golden Foundation, New Berlin, NY (2018), the Eureka Fellowship, Fleishhacker Foundation, San Francisco, CA (2013), ArtShift Award (2008) and the Silicon Valley Arts Council Award (2010). She is the finalist for the Sunny Art Award (2021), and has been nominated for SECA-SFMOMA-History Art Award, SF, CA Ema received her first MFA in printmaking from University of Delaware, and her second MFA in painting from San Jose State University. She is a Professor Associated at San Jose City College. Artist Statement: While a name can be a cosmic prison, identity acts as its guardian. My practice emerges from this paradox. As a Romanian immigrant in the United States, my work is shaped by a continuous negotiation between belonging and estrangement—an evolving dialogue among memory, displacement, and the strategies I have developed to reconcile these incongruities. Each artwork begins as a search for home: an unstable geography constructed through dualism, migration, and the fragments carried forward. I inhabit the liminal space between worlds—one remembered, one lived, and one imagined. From this tension, I create hybrid cartographies that resist literal interpretation. Architecture, ornament, and anatomy converge to form layered visual vocabularies—maps not of territory, but of perception. These works chart absence, transformation, and the act of becoming. By juxtaposing fragmented cultural iconography with abstraction, I construct polyphonic images—fractured allegories of my physical, emotional, and intellectual journey. Loss, displacement, and containment become catalysts for ritualized acts of self-expropriation, transforming absence into generative force. My process is interdisciplinary, spanning painting, drawing, printmaking, three-dimensional works, and muralism. I allow each medium to inform the others, privileging process over predetermined outcomes. I work within a space of “not knowing,” letting questions, rather than answers, guide each decision. I tend to work in series, believing that ideas unfold and evolve through repetition, variation, and recontextualization. Within each series, I alternate large-scale works with more intimate ones, considering how the viewer’s body engages with each—immersed in expansive works, contemplative with smaller pieces. Together, they form a rhythm between immersion and introspection. My approach balances cultivated spontaneity with rigorous research: sketching Romanian textiles, architectural motifs, and anatomical structures, while also responding intuitively to the evolving surface. Through layering, repetition, and erasure, I condense visual information into dense, stratified compositions where control and chance converge. This visual density mirrors the navigation of multiple cultural identities, inviting viewers to engage with ambiguity and multiplicity. Although this series emphasizes smaller, intimate formats, it lays the groundwork for future large-scale, memory-driven pieces activated by the viewer’s movement through space. My ongoing inquiry weaves together two central threads: Memory vs. Perception and Fragmentation. In the gaps between remembrance and invention, I locate the architecture of the self—continuously reconstructed, suspended between belonging and becoming. While informed by personal experience and broader social and cultural contexts, my work is not didactic. I do not provide answers or prescribe interpretations; rather, I invite viewers to inhabit spaces of ambiguity, reflection, and multiplicity. My paintings, drawings, and installations operate as open-ended inquiries—encounters with absence, memory, and fragmentation that encourage contemplation rather than instruction. In this way, my practice embraces complexity and uncertainty, honoring the layered, evolving nature of identity and the ongoing dialogue between self, place, and perception. Previous Next

< Back Katherine Young MAY 3 - AUG 3 What Do You Treasure? Katherine B. Young, MD, MFA fell in love with the ocean when she was a small child. She spent a lot of time on the water before going to medical school to train in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. After working for 10 years as a plastic surgeon in San Francisco, she fulfilled her dream of becoming a full time artist. She specializes in drawing and painting vast spaces of ocean and sky. Her work has won numerous awards and has been exhibited and collected throughout the United States. She is currently creating an exhibition for the Triton Museum of Art in Santa Clara, CA which addresses the ocean plastic pollution problem. The following galleries represent her artwork: HANG ART in San Francisco, Claire Carino Contemporary in Boston, and The Gallery at Tree’s Place in Cape Cod. She maintains a studio at 1890 Bryant Street in San Francisco, and lives in the city with her husband and daughter. Her artwork and creative process are featured in creativity expert Tina Seelig’s book, Insight Out. Artist Statement: My connection to the ocean and art-making began in childhood, growing up in the Tidewater region of Virginia near the Atlantic. Though I initially pursued science—studying engineering and medicine at Duke University and training as a plastic and reconstructive surgeon at Stanford—I ultimately returned to my artistic roots. After a decade of surgical practice in San Francisco, I earned an MFA and committed to a full-time career as an artist. The ocean is both majestic and meditative, a force of awe and tranquility. My paintings and drawings capture its vastness, immersing viewers in its beauty. However, my relationship with the ocean was profoundly altered when I learned about the Great Pacific Garbage Patch—an immense collection of plastic waste polluting the waters I love. This realization compelled me to confront this crisis through my art. 'What Do You Treasure?" emerged from my reflections on our paradoxical relationship with nature. We revere the ocean and its life, yet contribute to its degradation through rampant plastic consumption. This exhibition invites you to examine this contradiction and reconsider the choices we make daily. The paintings and drawings lining the walls evoke the ocean’s sublime power. Many incorporate genuine gold, referencing early Renaissance religious icons and illuminated manuscripts—symbols of reverence and contemplation. The sculptures interspersed throughout the space, however, disrupt this serenity. Cast from discarded plastic and gilded in gold, they serve as objects of reflection, mimicking sacred artifacts yet exposing the false idol of consumerism. These pieces also nod to the economic forces that sustain our dependence on plastic, making change feel daunting but necessary. As you move through the exhibition, allow yourself to experience the ocean’s grandeur, then confront the unsettling reality embedded in the sculptures. What do you treasure most—nature or convenience? The answer to this question carries weight beyond this space. If you choose nature, let that commitment extend into action. Even small steps—reducing plastic use, supporting sustainable initiatives, advocating for systemic change—can have a profound impact. This exhibition is not just a reflection; it is a call to action. The choice is yours. Previous Next

< Back Qiuwen Li AUG 30 - JAN 11 Echoes in Color Born in China, Qiuwen Li moved to the United States to pursue her education in Design, earning a BFA in Graphic Design from St. Cloud State University and a MFA in Visual Studies with a concentration in Graphic Design from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design. Now working as an Assistant Professor of Graphic Design at Santa Clara University, Li’s teaching and research focuses on the integration of typography, data visualization, and graphic design. Incorporating her knowledge and expertise into her art, Qiuwen Li seeks to delineate, deconstruct, and reconstruct the assumptions of multilingual communication and reframe them as more contingent on idiosyncratic understandings. Artist Statement: In my designs, graphic elements (shapes, colors, forms, and type) are constructed, deconstructed, and then reconstructed to create a richer experience and extend their meaning. As a designer, I understand the need for legibility, but I am more concerned with communicating something more visceral, expressive, and imaginative. My work engages viewers in a way that evokes playing games and figuring out puzzles; they simply can’t get enough of it, and that’s a good thing, because that’s the key to engagement. Previous Next

< 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
