Opening Reception: Wednesday, November 11, 2009, 5:30 - 7:30 PM “While separation between races, religions, and species seem to be a political issue; I strive to show differences as a matter of perception. Without words, our minds are free to create associations.” - Howard Hersh Andrea Schwartz Gallery is pleased to announce a solo exhibition for Howard Hersh opening Wednesday, November 11, 2009. Howard Hersh uses encaustic, an ancient hot wax technique. A natural and moody medium, Hersh has perfected his ability to manipulate the wax: to confine it in areas or let it spread freely in others, creating elegant layers of translucent color. Inspired by the Gaia principle, his multiple panel paintings explore the relationships between people, nature, and man-made objects. Continuous threads of organic and geometric shapes move through the work and emphasize the unity and connectivity of all living things. Howard Hersh has exhibited at Butters Gallery, Portland, OR, Jain Marunouchi Gallery, New York, NY, and Aliya Gallery, Atlanta, GA. This is his fifth solo exhibition at Andrea Schwartz Gallery. He is included in numerous private and public collections throughout the world. Andrea Schwartz Gallery was established in 1982 and is located in the South of Market district of San Francisco. ASG exhibits contemporary work of emerging to mid-career artists from the Bay Area and across the country. ASG participates in Last Saturday, www.last-saturday.com and is a member of SFADA, www.sfada.com. Gallery Hours are Monday - Friday 9 - 5, Saturday 1 – 5. The gallery will be closed 11/26-11/29.
