San Francisco, CA - In celebration of the California College of the Arts' (CCA) one-hundredth anniversary, Braunstein/Quay Gallery presents a group show of alumni organized by guest curator Mary Snowden, the Chair of Painting and Drawing at CCA. The five artists chosen for this exhibition are among her most recent, memorable, and talented students.In his paintings, Jules de Balincourt uses color and narrative to critique and subvert the would-be superpowers of the world.Sarrita Hunn, through drawings and paintings, explores the basic structures that create powerful images: halftone screens for print media, pixel-based digital media, and television images from electronic currents. Rajkamal Kahlon is interested in the space created when deconstruction is followed by a forced and visible reconstruction through collage.Pepe Mar creates collage sculptures that are heavily informed by consumer culture; their individual parts mainly consisting of found and purchased objects. In his landscapes on canvas, Robert Olsen paints night scenes bathed in the unnatural lights of mercury, sodium, neon, and fluorescent.Mary Snowden has taught at CCA for 42 years. The graduates selected for this exhibition represent the current and future strength of the California College of the Arts Painting and Drawing Department. These artists all hail from different parts of the United States and have not previously exhibited in the San Francisco Bay Area.Recognized as a "cross over" gallery, Braunstein/Quay Gallery was one of the first in the nation to exhibit sculptural clay, fiber art, art furniture, and glass alongside paintings, drawings, and sculpture in a fine arts environment. The gallery's reputation is based on discovering and promoting Bay Area regional artistic talent along with providing quality art for private, corporate, and museum collections.
