When: Saturday April 17th, 7 - 10pm In his most recent paintings, Oakland based artist Jason Byers delves head long into an investigation of difference utilizing an acute vocabulary of color and form. His work explores the interaction of shapes and their lines of demarcation, those minute spaces of mammoth proportion that press upon their surroundings, hold them at bay and delineate the extent of their reach. Jason Byers was born and raised in Los Angeles, California. After completing his undergraduate work at California State University, Northridge, he relocated to the San Francisco Bay Area to pursue an MFA from the University of California at Berkeley, graduating in 1999. His work has shown at Fleetwing Gallery, Linc Art, Newspace, Southern Exposure, the Lab, Lucky Tackle, the Oakland Art Gallery and 21 Grand among others and is featured in many private collections. Among his awards are the Margaret Hahn Simpson Fellowship and the Berkeley Art Museum Council Founders/Margaret Calder Hayes Prize. He currently lives and works in Oakland and was the Co-Director of Blankspace, an artist run contemporary art gallery in Oakland. Gallery Hours: Friday - Saturday, 11 - 6pm and by appointment
