Charles Blackwell
Downtown Afro-Centric Phase (2023)
Ink on paper
20" x 28"
Charles is from San Francisco and currently lives in Oakland, California. Charles studied at Sacramento City College, where he learned from inspiring teachers and became very interested in conceptual art and film. As a young man, he was involved in an accident that caused him to lose the majority of his eyesight, keeping only some peripheral vision. Charles continues to be a believer in the phrase, “Take your challenges and make them an asset,” as he finds that the loss of his vision has opened him up to an entirely new style, freedom, and way of working as an artist that he may never have known without this experience.

"'Made You Look' invites viewers to journey into the kaleidoscope of memory. A young girl peers eagerly into a quarter machine, her curiosity illuminated by the neon hues of bouncing balls. Behind her, the supermarket aisles blur into a dreamlike haze, crafted with a delicate fusion of airbrush and oil painting techniques. Through charcoal, vinyl emulsion, casein emulsion, acrylic, dispersed pigment, and oil paint, the artist masterfully orchestrates a symphony of textures, evoking the sensory tapestry of youth. With each mark, the canvas pulsates with the tender nostalgia of a bygone era, where every trip to the store held the promise of small wonders and cherished moments of innocence."

Lady Henze
prada (2023)
Spray paint on panel
24” x 24”
"I’m calling this style “Bolts,” as they resemble bolts of lightning. So much of my process involves the push and pull of perfectionism vs. chaos, and these works have both. The lines are crisp, but they don’t follow a color pattern to the letter, nor are they measured- just eyeballed. I feel like this lends to work that looks handmade, despite some of its inherent orderliness.
Color is intrinsic to my practice, and I figure out the colorway before I ever touch the panel. It often begins with a singular color I really want to use, and then I build from there. I simply lay out the spray cans in a row and add, subtract, and rearrange as needed."

Untitled (2023)
Color pencil, spray and latex paint on wood panel
24" x 24"
Alicia McCarthy (b. 1969, lives and works in Oakland) engages with the immediate world around her and uses a decidedly focused color palette on mixed-media panels. Sincere and intense but also playful, McCarthy transforms found wood surfaces into bursts, geometric blocks of color and woven patterns that are often emphasized by text and spray paint. These “paintings” bear a sculptural weight that is juxtaposed by their deceptively simple mark and image making. Although visually abstract, McCarthy's motifs - a weave or rainbow, for instance - are deeply personal and the works often include an indication of physical presence, such as the ring left by a coffee cup, print from a boot, or a note written by the artist.
