Goodness that's a lot of art on one wall! It's a beautiful collection. I love these examples of "packed" gallery spaces. There's some great, great work in there.

At the De Young in San Francisco, the "Masters of Venice" opens with a photograph of a tableau by David Teniers the Younger (Flemish, 1610-90), "Archduke Leopold Wilhelm in his Gallery in Brussels." Paintings -- mostly grand in size and style, wars, historical pieces, portraits -- covered the walls, it seemed, all the way to the ceiling. The Academy in Paris placed works up to the ceiling, hanging the most "treasured" works at eye level -- but then they did refuse the Impressionists' first works ... Gertrude and Leo Stein's Rue de Fleurus salon was covered in rather more modern work, from Manet to Cézanne to Picasso and Matisse. I think this gallery's choice to continue the tradition is brave! -- but I am very glad you concentrated on giving us individual abstract works... they are really splendid in energy, in variety! A wonderful show for an early Sunday morning. Thank you!!

The 2 gems to the left of Jeanne Thomsen's soulful abstraction are by Amy Hill.

Justine Rivas at The Valley

Installation view: Justine Rivas, How to Carry a Cloud. Photo courtesy of The Valley   Justine Rivas: How to Carry a Cloud Up through August 7, 2021 The Valley 1800 Camino del La Placita, Unit D Taos, NM 87571 From the Press Release: The Valley is pleased to present its first solo exhibition with Los Angeles-based painter Justine Rivas . The exhibition, titled  How to carry a cloud,  includes a series of new paintings that explore hidden sources of water in the desert landscape. Rivas uses clouds and creosote bushes as metaphors for the interconnected sources of life-giving moisture in arid regions. Both reflect water stored in the land and the air, deceptively close and yet inaccessible. Cloud forms appear across several works, oscillating between pattern and landscape. As above, so below- creosote in its various forms appear as a familiar and familial plant speaking to the artists’ connection to the desert landscape, her family has lived in the borderlands since t...

Current Show at Galerie Victor Sfez - On View Through April 23

EXHIBITION OF 19 MARCH TO 23 April 2016 DANIEL G. HILL develops a sensitive geometry. He chooses fragile materials that he weaves, knots, suspends, sometimes playing with the influence of gravity, which he uses to his advantage. A keen observer, he seizes the moment and the detail to create work of unusual and poetic balance. JOCELYNE SANTOS is a color magician. As much in her paintings as in her sculptures, contrasting tones are juxtaposed with harmony, giving birth to unexpected chromatic variations. We never complete our discovery of her palette. New nuances invite surprise, illusions dazzle our eyes, and that which is hidden in the work ends up being its main concern. SHAWN STIPLING works with perception. Space is always present, suggested by clever crossings and misleading offsets that generate new virtual planes. The simplicity of his line is only an appearance: executed by hand, it still takes on a deliberately mechanical look. Confiding to us, the ...
