Soledad Mother (2024)
Acrylic ink and acrylic on silk mesh
24 × 20"

“Reflections on George and Jonathan Jackson’s mother. George Jackson was imprisoned for taking 70$ from a gas station and was sentenced to 1 year to life in prison for that charge. While on prison George and two others were charged with murder of a guard after a fight and were coined the Soledad brothers, Jackson denied the charge. On August 7th 1970 George’s brother, Jonathan Jackson kidnapped a number of people, including the judge and DA from the Marin County courthouse and demanded the release of the his brother and the two others Soledad brothers. Jackson was killed along with the judge and another as they attempted to flee in a car. George was killed in attempted escape a little over a year after his brother’s death. I did this painting thinking of their mother and her pain and anguish at losing both her sons. Like Jackson’s book, “Soledad Brothers” I am focusing outside of the violence on the humanity and injustice where 70$ is worth a year to life in prison and especially the pathos as I try to envision the mother.”

Existencia es Resistencia (2024)
Archival photographic print on metal

“As a portrait artist, I am deeply influenced by my cultural heritage and the rich traditions of my ancestors. This portrait was taken on Indigenous Peoples Day at the historically significant Alcatraz Island, a site that symbolizes both resistance and the ongoing struggle for Indigenous rights. The Mexican Danzante represents a connection to ancestral traditions, standing in power to honor the resilience of Indigenous peoples. That is why the title is 'To Exist is to Resist,' reflecting the enduring strength and defiance in the face of colonization and cultural erasure.”

Soleé Darrell
The Flight In Me (2024)
Dye on silk velvet
30 × 30”

Soleé Darrell is a Bermudian born multidisciplinary artist who is based in Oakland, CA. She has a background in metalsmithing but has recently taken up painting as a new medium. Her work is purely intuition-driven. She explores the experience and depth of being a human in this world while connecting with other worlds through practice and meditation. Each stroke encompasses color, vulnerability, passion, texture, and complete faith in the universe. She uses layers of mixed media to symbolize the healing of wounds and maps the unknown paths we take in life. She is forever fascinated with the idea of things we can never know about our existence, and the self inflicted suffering that human beings can endure through generations of trying to figure it out. Her hope is to bring some optimism to the viewer and bridge the gap between the intuitive world and the physical world.

Gold Coast #1 (2023)
Acrylic on canvas
18 x 24”

“This painting was created while visiting home, Honolulu. It is based off of a specific neighborhood that is at the base of Diamond Head crater, called “The Gold Coast”. This neighborhood is very small but it is often visited by surfers. Tonggs is the name of that surf break. It is where my dad used to surf when he was a young man. All the white buildings and historical houses turned pink during the sunset and colors illuminate off of its background. This painting in particular is that blue turquoise ocean on top of that tinted pink white surface.”

Alicia McCarthy
Untitled (2024)
Color pencil and spray paint on paper
12.5 x 15 "

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.

Cate White’s drawings and paintings map a psychic cartography of the unrest associated with the proliferating social and ecological devastation of post-industrial capitalism.

Muzae Sesay
Golden Gate (2024)
Oil on canvas
24 x 36"

"My artistic focus derives from a relentless commitment to understanding our collective relationship to space, memory, community, and the perceived truths within them. From that foundation, my practice has thematically revolved around the merging of these correlations to form paintings that provoke social reasoning and induce the viewer’s agency in the navigation and narration of imagery. Current work connects with the feelings that arise from testing the absoluteness of the strict and rigid aspects of physics and pragmatism found in architecture, design, and our built environment. Utilizing skewed perspectives of space and shape collapsed into two-dimensional planes of color, I create surreal geometric interiors, exteriors, landscapes, and structures—presenting a situation in which to be experienced and explored. Inspired by ideas of cultural reflection and developed by questioning the validity of remembrance, my work often depicts worlds created in response to a social introspection and/or an attempt to perceive a shared reality. This process involves taking imagery from the physical world and reducing them to rudimental forms that then populate fragmented universes compiled by perspectival fallacies and tied together by harmonious color composition. The viewer is compelled to understand the space, question its dimensionality, dive inside and walk around. Muzae’s work is in the museum collections of San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and de Young Museum."

Charles Blackwell
Bricked in by the City (2023)
Acrylic on canvas
24 x 36"

“My approach is unorthodox- I use the bottom of a paintbrush, my fingers, and an ink spout to create abstracted forms and texture making my blindness work for me. My blindness, in a sense, gives my work a unique quality. When painting, I strain my eyes to see, until the reality of being partially blind registers. I then rely on an intuitive serendipitous process, sloshing colors between thick lines, moving the medium along the path towards completion. This flow state allows for freedom of self-expression and improvisation.”
