Zen with a Kickstand and other new work Steven Barich, Zen with a kickstand, mixed media, 2011
Artist Reception: Friday, May 27, 6pm-9pm First Friday receptions: May 6, June 3, July 1, 6pm-9pm Through sculpture and highly detailed largescale drawings, Steven Barich depicts visual patterns, codes and text born of our contemporary digital age, and set within and among forms appreciated for their naturalistic authenticity, their spiritual references or aesthetic purity. Ranging from abstraction to anonymous silhouettes, drawings often depict pixel-mosaic-filled stone forms on paper. In addition the wall sculpture incorporates geometric patterns, symbols and coded writing from both analog or virtual sources. Steven Barich received a MFA from Mills College (2001) and a BFA from the California College of the Arts (1997). Exhibitions include solo shows at Rowan Morrison Gallery (USA) and The Compound Gallery (USA), as well as group shows at Southern Exposure (USA), The Orange County Center for Contemporary Art (USA), the Museum Boijmans van Beuningen (NL), TENT Center for Contemporary Art (NL) and Curators without Borders (D). He currently lives, works and invests in the art community, in Oakland, CA. Gallery Hours: Fridays 11-2pm, First Fridays additional hours 6-9pm and by appointment
