May 7, 2009, 5:30 – 7:30 pm Mark Wolfe Contemporary Art is pleased to present two simultaneous exhibitions of work by Bay Area artists James Sansing and Jerad Walker. A painter, sculptor, photographer and film-maker, James Sansing focuses his protean talents on the gallery’s 1,000 square foot main space, integrating its ca. 1912 exposed concrete columns and ceilings into a new, monumental, site-specific installation of suspended, abstract concrete forms. Responding to and complementing the elemental themes evoked by Sansing’s installation, Jerad Walker offers a series of paintings riffing on the rhythms, patterns, and mathematics of earth, air, fire, and water. James Sansing has exhibited throughout the West Coast for several years. He has held residencies at the Kala Institute and Headlands Center, and will be the San Francisco Dump’s artist-in-residence later this year. He has exhibited his work at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, Seattle Art Museum, Oakland Art Gallery, Southern Exposure, and Ampersand International Arts, and is the recipient of the M.A.C. Affiliate Award from the Headlands Center. He received his MFA from the San Francisco Arts Institute. Jerad Walker is an Oakland-based painter, sculptor, and photographer. He has previously mounted solo shows at Bucheon Gallery in San Francisco, and participated in numerous group exhibitions across the West Coast. He received his BA in Painting and Drawing from Cal. State Long Beach in 1994.
