The glowing figures in Jocelyn's paintings are found in various states of movement, floating across the picture plane or sitting upright, illustrating a sense of energy that can be experienced within an invigorating environment. We love that the color palette feels both vibrant and serene at the same time.

ADRIAN KAY WONG :

“SAME TIME, SAME PLACE”

April 5th - April 26th 2025

 

In San Francisco, we began our 2025 programming with Adrian Kay Wong's solo exhibition Same Time, Same Place. The exhibition marked the reintroduction of the human form into Wong's veiled narratives. Within each canvas, everyday moments typically overlooked become deeply considered and hints of stories and characters unfold within the

exhibition. Shared settings and recurring objects follow the viewer from frame to frame,

drawing connections between one another.

Featuring over 80 works from 28 artists, the exhibition paid homage to the unpretentious simplicity of scale, with all of the artworks measuring under 12 inches. Taking various styles and approaches, these works foster an immediate sense of intimacy, intrinsically drawing the viewer in closer. From the childlike wonder in So Youn Lee's portraits, to the miniature worlds constructed in lockets by Shannon Taylor, we could'nt get enough of these bite sized works.

GENEVIEVE COHN :

“IN DEFENSE OF TENDERNESS”

May 3rd - May 31st 2025

 

Each of Genevieve Cohn's vibrant paintings are phrases in a continuous narrative filled with mythic, playful women weaving together an imagined history and future. The communities of women that inhabit Cohn’s paintings are at once folkloric and grounded in reality, taking on a sense of magical realism. The chromatic figures tend the land around them and one another to form an imagined world informed by The Women’s Land Army, female separatist communities, fairy tales, and literary fiction.

This exhibition was an investigation into distortion and relationality. The landscape serves as a metaphor, speaking to the ways in which we relate to the world around us — each object placed within the composition provides meaning and context for the next. This body of work represents a formal and conceptual distillation of Tonzi’s established visual language—reducing it to its most elemental components which offer space for both subtle nuance and assertive form—a sense of clarity in a world growing more obscure and complex by the day.

Euclide invited us to explore worlds where he blends the real and imagined, objects, and materials to evoke feelings of nostalgia, question the reality of the present moment, and provide a look toward the future. The depth in these layered collage works is truly stunning when you get to experience it in person.

Contemplating the transient nature of individual and collective experiences, Left Unsaid drew attention to the fleeting, often overlooked moments in life that can take on new meaning through memory, reflection or distance. Participating artists revealed how impermanence does not erase significance, but instead reshapes it. In honoring the ephemeral, these works suggest that even the quietest moments have the ability to echo far beyond their origin. 

 

Giorgiko's recent exhibition focused on the childhood experience of school through a lens that is both nostalgic and perceptive. Drawing inspiration from their twin sons’ experiences entering school life, as well as their own memories growing up, the artists revisit everyday moments filled with innocence, awkwardness, longing, play, and quiet humor. 

 

 

 

For her latest solo exhibition, Kwon offered a tender and introspective body of work shaped by the emotional landscapes of home, motherhood and migration. After over a decade in California, the artist returned to her native Seoul in 2022, only to realize how deeply the Bay Area had shaped her sense of place and belonging. Through painting and a new series of sculpture, Kwon explores the quiet, fleeting moments that fill everyday life. We'd love to stay a while her cozy sweater landscapes.

 

 

For Analog Conditions, the artist explored the concept of analog conditions: constructed scenarios that mimic a lived experience. By blending the idea with analog devices such as typewriters and watches, the artist anchors her work in recognizable and tangible world. Burson’s practice is rooted in the interplay of figuration and object-hood. Her figures, typically depicted headless or cropped, are found carrying belongings that carry the weight of symbolism: suitcases, shoes, cat carriers and books are meticulously rendered, proportions askew, recalling the Surrealist movement. 

 

 

Known for her layered and narrative based figuration that blends observation, memory and fantasy, Gregor worked with the immediacy of gouache, recording potted plants, figurines and self-portraits. The self-portraits are often painted in front of larger, narrative-based works in progress, creating layers and connecting the various  parts of her practice. These works are sites of play, discovery and experimentation, a space where instinct surfaces, later to be folded back into more ambitious compositions. 

 

  

 

 SCOTT ALBRECHT :

“WHAT HOLDS US”

September 6th - September 27th 2025

 

How often do we reconsider our ability to give and receive love? For Brooklyn-based artist Scott Albrecht, the time came in 2023 when he sustained a traumatic brain injury before his solo exhibition,The Shadow of the Sun. In the wake of this life-altering experience, Albrecht began looking more sincerely at the levels of connection and care found between people and how often we may pass up opportunities to express affection. In his latest exhibition, What Holds Us, he contends with this transformative experience, reflecting on larger themes of human connection and acceptance, seeking to amplify how we interact with the world (and people) around us.

"FRIENDS & FAMILY" :

GROUP EXHIBITION

October 4th - October 25th 2025

San Francisco wrapped up the year with Friends & Family, a group exhibition that featured 60 works by a wide spectrum of artists, spanning various mediums and themes. Gina M. Contreras' When The Wind is Fair showcased bold self-portraiture while layering elements of exploration of identity, self-perception, and inherited expectations, while Austin Elfio Montanari’s Night Drive depicts a stylized a deer caught in the headlights of a truck, blending abstract forms with symbolic tension. With an emphasis on the Bay Area art community, the exhibition reflected and celebrated the diversity of the contemporary art world.

The title of the exhibition, The Light That Passes Through Us, references William Irwin Thompson’s essay Time Falling Bodies Take to Light, where reflections on myth, sexuality, and imagination are explored as cultural forces that continue to form and shape our present. Drawing references from Mexican Muralism, Jared French, William Blake, the Greek frescoes, and Mesoamerican sculptures, the artists creates connections to the past while simultaneously opening dialogues to the present. The men in these works feel like superatural stewards while still being grounded in reality.

 

 

Hong's landscapes act as a map to her internal experience. The exhibition moves between capturing a sense of urgency and restraint. The artist throws, scrapes, and pushes paint in moments of overwhelm, then slows into thin, delicate “quilted” washes applied withmeditative precision. The artist draws a parallel tobojagi, the Korean textile tradition that piecesfragments into functional abstraction, an act of both rupture and repair. Scale operates as another emotional register: large works capture physical intensity, while smaller paintings return to theimmediacy of her early studies on hardware store paint chips.

 

 

We are wrapping up the year with a group exhibition in our project room of hand-embellished prints curated by The Jaunt. Prints are wonderful way to add an artist that you've had your eye on to your collection and we love the unique pieces in these editions.
