Clint Brown - The Possessor
MAIN GALLERY
Clint Brown
A Life of Drawing
Drawing inspiration from intense examination of the contemporary social landscape, Clint Brown’s
exhibition A Life of Drawing, displays both Brown’s mastery of the medium and continuing relevance. Across a range of charcoal and conté drawings, Brown confronts pressing issues such as homelessness, environmental degradation, and epidemic disease, as well as universal constants of love and death. In presenting viewers with alternating images contemporary, historical, and timeless, Brown stresses an essential humanity, that is in equal parts challenging and tender.
Artist Talk: Saturday September 19th, 2pm

Don Bailey
People I’ve known
In my native Hoopa language, kiwhliw means “he who paints.” I am a painter. I am also Native American, raised on the Hoopa Valley Reservation in Northern California. To begin work on this collection of portraits, I looked to archival photographs of Native Americans. In the process of sketching the faces I selected, I began to know them. My hope is that as you come away from this exhibit, you too will feel you’ve found someone you’ve known.
Artist Talk: Wednesday, September 16th, 6 PM

Natural Forces
In Natural Forces, Jerry Svoboda’s first exhibition at Blackfish Gallery, the artist imagines the primordial currents of the world’s genesis, as if seen through the eyes of the first human. Through his charcoal drawings, Svoboda uses landscapes as a stage to explore the flow and transformation of elemental forces.
