Opening reception: September 4th from 6-8pm.
Endless Summer features a selection of paintings by Amy Lincoln, Emma Webster, Helena Wurzel, and Anna Valdez. It is the culmination of various experiences as seen through the lenses of these women painters. The exhibition conveys a continuation of the summer heat expressed through the hot hues and fluorescent palettes that run throughout the pieces in the show. In California, summer tends to linger and this provokes a desire for outdoor adventures, leisure, and play. The works in this show illustrate this spirit.
Helena Wurzel depicts scenes of summertime ease with women swimming in pools of cool deep blues and snapshots of women lounging in the sun on a patterned blanket. Emma Webster’s Hawaii series explores the essence of water and movement. Amy Lincoln brings her viewers to imagined desert spaces of deep reds and blooming cacti. Anna Valdez freshly invigorates still life with the subjects of picnic essentials atop a colorful, tribal-print blanket, featuring an open Elmore Leonard novel, a partly eaten sandwich, and a plate of strawberries. Collectively, these works capture the feeling of an Endless Summer.
