Latham Square is located between the 12th and 19th Street BART stations and is just a short walk from either. We hope that through their work, you will come to know Oakland as a city with both heart and art. This exhibition features paintings by seven Oakland artists, each with their own unique style. On display are various forms of abstract works, some even include representational imagery within their compositions. Alongside each painting, the viewer will find brief remarks describing the artworks.
Large paintings present the viewer with distinctive circumstances.
The works surround the viewer as opposed to the viewer surrounding a smaller work. Large paintings possess a heightened physicality. They are as big or bigger than our physical size. We are a player in their arena. We are moving and gathering in a large field.
