"The Big Red Chair Project" Upload Here The pandemic has been a very difficult time for many of us. With having to adjust our lives to stay safer and healthier, that often meant spending time apart from the people we love. For artist and retired educator Eve Page Mathias, the pandemic gave her time to reflect on herself and to look forward to seeing those absent from her life. During this time, her "Big Red Chair Project" was born and it allowed her to reconnect with those friends and colleagues she missed dearly. This exhibition is a series of large paintings - portraits of women meaningful to the artist.

Intrusive Thoughts Devon Blood AUG 15 - JAN 17 Will be on View in the Cowell Room Gallery Marquee: Lawless , 2025, acrylic on black velvet < Back Artist Statement My name is Devon Blood. Third generation San Franciscan. I grew up in a working-class family, with a strong, single mother, and seven siblings. Things were tough, but what made it tougher was my struggle with undiagnosed OCD. This condition is the framework of my whole life, during my highest highs and lowest lows. It's the one thing that's never left me, not when my best friend died, not when I survived a near-fatal shooting protecting my girlfriend, not when I learned how to tattoo and paint with the left side of my body after suffering hemiparesis. This exhibit is the culmination of my experiences, good times and bad, and of the journey through some of my greatest dreams and worst nightmares. It's a twisted tribute to my firm conviction in life that no matter who you are, or what you're going through, you have to stay up, stay strong, and above all else - keep laughing. This is the Intrusive Thoughts exhibit. It marks a particularly personal chapter in my life, and I hope you enjoy it, maybe even reflecting on your own experience through something that challenged you. About the Artist At twenty-six, Devon Blood was on the cusp of change. A tattoo artist rising through the ranks of the Oakland, post-Y2K underground arts scene, a dedicated skateboarder, and devoted boyfriend. One fateful night in 2006, that was shattered when a botched home invasion and robbery left him with a near-fatal gunshot wound to the head. The cumulative result of that night resulted first in a series of medical miracles – Blood recovering inexplicably from a coma, managing severe hemiparesis and atrophy on the dominant side of his body, and continuing to suffer to this day from after-effects of the invading bullet resting on his brainstem. Then, a series of remarkable triumphs – Blood learning to tattoo and expand his artistic skills cultivating his left side, publishing a book (Keep Laughing) about his experiences, and developing an entirely new portfolio based on his newfound aesthetic. Today, Mr. Blood is the proud father of two, a featured story for Vans during their Pass the Bucket campaign, more recently the subject of a Hearst Television special featured on their subsidiary KCRA Channel 3 Sacramento, and a rising talent in the modern art world.

< 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. About the Artist: 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 Tim Guan AUG 22 - JAN 17 Here and There Tim 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. You can learn more on Tim’s website and socials at timguan.art. About the Artist: 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? 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. About the Artist: 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
