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. The exhibit space at Latham Square heralds a positive addition to places where the arts are in Oakland. New spaces bring the opportunity for new audiences to witness the multi-faceted richness of the many artists in our area.
