< Back Rose Sellery AUG 29 - JAN 3 Rose Sellery: Fragile Strength Rose Sellery is a multidisciplinary, self-taught artist whose work navigates the charged terrain between beauty and brutality, fragility and strength, and tradition and rebellion. Through humor, irony, and unflinching confrontation, she explores themes of innocence and loss, societal pressure, resilience, and survival – inviting viewers to reflect on how lives, particularly women’s lives, are shaped, constrained, celebrated, and discarded. Sellery transforms everyday materials into evocative sculptural narratives. Her work reimagines objects such as glass slippers, garments, and boxing gloves, imbuing them with layered meaning and emotional resonance. Whether through shattered forms, unconventional materials, or conceptual garments, each piece exposes the tension between vulnerability and power while honoring personal and collective stories. Her sculptures create space for reckoning, recognition, and transformation, challenging the inequities and expectations imposed on women. A storyteller at heart, Sellery brings a sharp, satirical awareness to the social ills and contradictions of contemporary life. Her irreverent approach incorporates a wide range of materials – metal, bone, fabric, cigarette butts, rose petals, and photography – chosen specifically to serve each concept. The result is a body of work that is humorous, thought provoking, and at times unsettling, often moving viewers to reflection, laughter, or tears. Raised in Venice, California, Sellery now lives and works in the mountains of Santa Cruz. Her creative path includes years in the ceramics industry, woodworking and jewelry, experiences that continue to inform her tactile, materially driven practice. She has also played a significant role in the local arts community, serving as Program Coordinator at the Cabrillo Gallery and as a driving force behind FashionArt Santa Cruz, later co-founding Pivot: The Art of Fashion. Rose is currently co-owner and curator at MK Contemporary Art in downtown Santa Cruz and the founder of the Ripple Effect Arts Festival. About the Artist: My work begins with contradiction. I am drawn to the space where beauty and brutality coexist, where fragility becomes a form of strength, and where humor can carry the weight of difficult truths. Through sculpture, conceptual garments, and photography, I explore the complexities of our lives – how we are shaped, constrained, celebrated, and, at times, erased. I use everyday objects and materials as a visual language – glass, fabric, metal, bone, found objects – transforming them into narratives that hold both personal and collective memory. These materials are never neutral; they carry histories, expectations, and cultural weight. By altering or recontextualizing them, I expose the tension between innocence and experience, adornment and restriction, protection and harm. Humor and irony are essential tools in my process. They create an entry point, disarming the viewer just enough to engage with subjects that can be uncomfortable or confrontational. Beneath that surface, my work addresses issues of gender bias, societal pressure, resilience, and survival. I am interested in the stories we inherit, the roles we are asked to perform, and the quiet or radical ways we resist them. I think of each piece as a kind of evidence – of endurance, of contradiction, of transformation. The objects I create are not static; they hold emotional residue and invite interpretation. They ask the viewer to reckon with what is seen and what is implied, to recognize themselves or others within the work. Ultimately, my practice is about holding space: for vulnerability and power, for grief and humor, for anger and tenderness. It is an ongoing act of witnessing and reimagining—an attempt to make visible what is often overlooked, and to honor the complexity of lived experience. Previous Next

< Back Hana Lock SEP 14 - JAN 5 Anatomica Hana Lock is the Best of Show winner for the 2023 Salon at the Triton. Her work is an intriguing mix of bizarre and sublime, depicting in great detail our delicate anatomy alongside or combined with other wonderful creatures such as rabbits, frogs, mice, snakes, wolves, beautiful plants and flowers - our connection to the natural world. Her work displays our vulnerability and forces us to confront what is inevitable - that, along with all over living beings, we will all die and decompose. However, this fate is not portrayed as something to be feared, but rather embraced as part of the natural rhythm of life and death. This exhibition will include a selection of 2D works by the artist. About the Artist: Anatomica is a collection of paintings and drawings that draw inspiration from my love of anatomy and fascination with the transience of life, the inevitability of death, and the mystery of what lies beyond. My work offers a holistic view of the body by highlighting the beauty of its internal structures without shying from the grotesque. Referencing visual and philosophical concepts from Buddhism and European medieval funerary art, my art often features anatomized bodies being strewn across the composition as their viscera intertwines with flora and fauna. In my practice, I primarily use ballpoint pen, watercolor, and acrylic to create intricate and precise line work and vibrant, flat colors reminiscent of Japanese woodblock prints and Art Nouveau. I strive for precision and detail, and I believe that in addressing the formal and conceptual qualities inherent in line, I am effectively capturing the delicate intricacies of the natural and imaginative world.

AUG 22 - JAN 17Tim Guan is an American-born painter living and working in San Francisco. Though he has been making art for as long as he can remember, he found his way to a committed art practice during the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2025 he left his career in tech to devote himself to painting full time. Tim’s background in technology and life in San Francisco have shaped his artistic point of view. He is interested in the social and cultural conditions we create through our collective obsession with innovation and progress, and in how those conditions influence the way we navigate our reality and relate to one another. As a resident of the Bay Area for over a decade, he has borne witness to tremendous transformations of public and private life. And as a former "true believer" in the promises of the tech sector, he uses painting to wrestle with complicated feelings about his own complicity in those transformations. Working figuratively in oil, Tim is particularly drawn to painting because of its ability to hold a material record of human time and energy in a two dimensional object. His direct encounters with great works from art history have shown him the medium’s power to communicate care and attention across time and space. Against the relentless speed and chaos of modern life, he views this kind of “slow” connection as radical and necessary to preserve our humanity. He aspires to take part in this tradition by making attentive, resonant work that both reflects what it’s like to be alive today and inspires questions about where we’re headed. Tim studied painting at Studio Escalier in Argenton-Château, France. His work has been exhibited around the Bay Area at Wessling Contemporary, Decentered Arts Studio, The Drawing Room, Rosebud Gallery, and the Triton Museum of Art.

Here and There Tim Guan AUG 22 - JAN 17 Now on View in the Rotunda Gallery Plan Your Visit < Back Marquee: Je Reverai Des Horizons Bleuatres, 2026, oil on linen Overview Here and There presents paintings from the last two years that explore our relationship to embodied experience in the age of the internet. We live in a paradoxical time. The internet grants us unprecedented access to one another while causing us to feel isolated and estranged from our physical reality. As digital technologies have become inseparable from everyday life, our experience of the world and ourselves is increasingly shaped through layers of mediation. We work remotely, encounter art through screens, maintain relationships across networks, and rely on digital archives to construct and remember our personal histories. The default state of being is now to be in multiple places at once, physically present in one location while our attention, emotions, and identities circulate elsewhere. As so much of our lives shift online, the body can come to feel less like an essential dimension of the self and more like something to be managed, optimized, or transcended altogether. The figures in these paintings navigate this condition. Some appear absorbed in distraction or dislocation; others seek presence through attention to sensation or environment. Between these states lies a range of negotiations between the physical and the virtual. Together, the works explore how we inhabit our bodies in a world that seeks relentlessly to pull us out of them. Here and There invites viewers to reflect on their own relationship to embodiment. What remains unique, meaningful, or irreplaceable about physical experience? What is worth noticing, preserving, and honoring about life in a body?

< 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
