"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 Futbol: The Art of the Game Group Exhibition MAY 16 - AUG 2 Fútbol: The Art of the Game Athletics and sports have been a part of human history for thousands of years. As time has passed, the games have changed but one thing remains constant – community. Sports provides us with another means to come together, to collaborate, to share something exciting and meaningful with each other. Art has also been around for thousands of years, and to celebrate the upcoming FIFA World Cup* soccer games coming to Santa Clara this summer, the Triton Museum of Art is hosting a special exhibition combining both sports and art – Fútbol: The Art of the Game. Soccer, also known as fútbol, is a sport played by millions of people around the world. It’s also a sport that combines passion and community. This special exhibition features one-of-a-kind artwork from a talented group of diverse Bay Area artists. The exhibition is also a special fundraiser for the Museum. These skilled artists have given their time and talents to provide the Museum with donated works that corresponds with the soccer theme – their art, in their style, will either incorporate an actual soccer ball or a recreated one. All works will be for sale through the Museum, starting at the artists’ reception on May 16, 2026 at 12:00 pm, and through the duration of the exhibition.** All funds received from the sale of these works goes directly back to the Triton Museum of Art to help support our mission of art, community, and education. We wish to thank all of the participating artists – it is because of you, our community, that we exist and thrive. *The Triton Museum of Art is not affiliated with FIFA or any professional soccer or sports association. ** Artwork will be sold on a first come, first served basis. We will not be reserving works for anyone; they must be purchased directly from the Museum in person starting at the artists’ reception. If artwork is not sold at the reception, it will remain for sale through the duration of the exhibition. Any sold works will remain on view in the Triton Museum for the duration of the exhibition and may be picked up by the buyer from the Museum once the exhibition has concluded.

< 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. About the Artist: 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 Mark Engel AUG 16 - JAN 4 Shifting Terrain 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. About the Artist: 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

Unknown EXHIBITION Paintings Bing Zhang DATES: JAN 29 - MAY 7 YEAR: 2022 Previously on view in the Unknown < Back OVERVIEW ADDITIONAL INFORMATION "I tend to paint people in moments of introspection or concentration. I want to capture moments when people show their real character and mood which are normally hidden behind the mask they put on in public. My painting is also about story telling. I try to tell stories that show the hidden truth which reflects people's relationship, their living condition, their mental state, their interests, and other aspects of their disposition in the world. My goal is to search out the humanity within these situations." Bing Zhang Previous Next

Rotunda Gallery EXHIBITION Happenstance Jeff Owen DATES: SEPT 2 - JAN 7 YEAR: 2023 Previously on view in the Rotunda Gallery < Back OVERVIEW ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ! Widget Didn’t Load Check your internet and refresh this page. If that doesn’t work, contact us. Happenstance - An Unexpected Journey My artist life began as a child sitting in the back seat of a 1957 Chevrolet with a drawing tablet – only the best from the art store – and my favorite #2 pencil. My mother would throw me and all of her drawing supplies into the car and drive all around town looking for interesting buildings, homes, or people to draw. Always on a busy street, cars whizzing by with all the noise that accompanies them; no matter, we were there to draw whatever was out the side window of the car. I’d say my drawings were never much to look at, but I always received tons of “that’s beautiful” or “I wish I could draw like that” from Mom. Sometimes my scale would be off, sometimes my perspective. No problem, Mom encouraged me. Each adventure would top the last – and each finishing with a quick roll up of the window, a buckle of the seatbelt, and a retreat to home where Mom would pull out her recent work and “touch up” her drawing – then – she began to paint. This was the best time. The fumes of oil and turpentine would fill the house. We, my sister and I, would run over and open a window to get some fresh air into the room – Mom was painting! We would watch her paint, and then, for some unknown reason (except for being a kid) we’d find something else to do – until our curiosity sparked us to again go and see how far she had come with her latest “masterpiece.” This was my introduction to art. My art evolved over the years, sometimes taken with painting, sometimes drawing, until that one special day that I discovered welding. My father-in-law, Chet Christison, lived in Fresno. We would visit him and his wife Thelma at least three or four times per year. His workshop, a huge outbuilding on the property, was filled with woodworking tools. Little did I know that he also loved metal. Inside his workshop, in a corner that you could barely get to without disturbing all the feral cats he loved so much, away from everything else, was an oxy-acetylene torch set, and next to it, a small welder. “What the heck is this?” I asked him. “Oh that, you wouldn’t know” he said. “That’s for welding metal.” I asked him if he wanted it, since I could see it had not been used in some time. “What are you going to do with it? You don’t even know how to use it.” I finally got him to give it to me. The welder went into the back of my truck, along with the oxy set. I was determined to put them to good use. I must be able to find something that needs welding... -------------- My technique is brute force, decide-at-the-moment. My creative process emerges with patterns. I incorporate patterns into all of my sculptures. Taking one piece of steel, adding to it, or deleting from it, then ending when the sculpture encompasses all of my creativity, this is what charges up my artistic energies. When my creative force is flowing, I work on a sculpture to completion. It is finished when the creative flow ends. I have been an artist all my life. I am fascinated with engineering and architecture. The shapes of metal, its patterns, textures and grains all entice me to create. My ability to cut and weld metal allows me to create any art I desire. My aspiration is to create sculpture that is unique, something that no one has done before. I resist conformity and mass production. My art is as individual as I am. My art belongs to our present time or any time. My art does not represent reality inspired by the real world. It makes use of patterns representing independent relationships with no reference – “contemporary-abstraction.” I take delight in rummaging through metal scrap yards, finding those particular pieces of steel that stir me in some way or other. I have feelings for inanimate objects. When I see something tossed aside, I ponder why? I wonder where it has been and where it is going. Each piece I touch has its own individual tale. Was it once part of a bridge, supporting travelers to distant cities? Was it once part of a water tower, supplying nourishment to gardens? Was it used to manufacture others, like itself? When I’ve rescued that piece from limbo, it may take me only moments, or possibly many months, to understand within myself what that metal wants, or needs, to become. Only then will I fulfill “its” dream. Jeff Owen 2023 "Lost Horizons" Previous Next
