UPPER MARKET GALLERY opens its doors to an exploration of abstract expressionism with Michelle Fernandez’s inaugural solo exhibition titled, 1956. In this vivid collection, Fernandez, an up and coming Bay Area artist, invites us to witness her exploration of the delicate balance between artistic freedom and the relinquishing of control, a theme profoundly intertwined with the complex emotions of grief and loss. With a palette of vivid colors, organic shapes, and a medley of oil stick on canvas paper and acrylic on canvas, Fernandez crafts compositions that transcend the canvas, offering viewers a chance to experience the interplay of color, composition, and rhythm. These artworks become melodies that decorate not only space but also time itself, weaving a poignant narrative that speaks to the depths of the human experience.
