STILLER LIFES
[If you are interested in purchasing a work, please contact the gallery for more information]
Our inaugural exhibition brings together sculpture and paintings by three veteran San Francisco artists.
What does it mean to live an interior life? Inside of a building, or inside of a body? To imagine a city empty of humanity?
In this time of forced reflection and reconfiguration, these still lifes, landscapes, and portraits reflect the relationship between stillness and movement, between novelty and sameness, and the passage of time. A bent figure may have felt free and languid at its creation; today it may feel confined, as our bodies are confined inside. An empty cityscape, before a surreal anomaly, is now a reminder of our daily reality. A quiet still life can be a reflection of a quiet day or a refuge from a towering calamity.

What is the difference between enforced stillness versus observant stillness? Between purposeful motion versus reactive motion? Do we move through inertia or through initiative?
At the beginning of the pandemic, we looked at these works, which we could no longer show in person, and discussed the relationship of movement and stillness. The thrumming forward motion of our lives had been so suddenly stopped short, forced to a halt. Half a year into this interiorized life, we now see that a strict delineation between motion and stillness may have been an outward illusion about purpose, progress, and evolution. Because even our sameness is ever-changing.
How does motion or stillness shape our everyday, or the vastness of memory?
