Fire And Water is a collection of paintings and drawings that explores the delicate balance between the two opposing yet interconnected forces, which have had large impacts both globally and locally. Both elements hold a beauty that is powerful and necessary for all living things, yet can also cause chaos and destruction.

Fire And Water affect our daily lives and remind us of the impermanence and fragility of everything around us. During the recent drought, we have learned to conserve and appreciate water, recognizing its necessity for the survival and growth of all living things. Alternately, considering the rising sea levels, Young envisions a world where cities might actually be under water.

Similarly, fire has played a huge role in Young’s life, having personally experienced four major fires in the last several years. Most recently, a massive forest fire that burned less than a mile from her home in Grass Valley was a stark wake-up call. These natural disasters affected her deeply on a subconscious level, so she translates some of those emotions to paper, wood, and canvas.

Elemental explores notions of color and form as they pertain to painting both geometric and organic shapes. Opposing styles of clean, architectural lines by Venegas and St. Monci; and ethereal, natural landscapes by Jacobsen and Coleman utilize a similar, simple color palette to achieve a reaction that is visceral as well as cerebral.

Phoenix Mission showcases printmaking, painting, and sculpture that have helped define the art aesthetic for which San Francisco’s most mural-filled neighborhood is known. It aims to celebrate, educate, and bridge the diversity of cultures in one of the city’s most popular districts.

Sound + Vision is a pop-up photography exhibition by house music legends Mark Farina and Sunshine Jones. It features prints of the two artists’ imagery, captured during their many years of living in San Francisco and travelling the world for musical gigs. Sunshine Jones will also be giving a live analog performance and Mark Farina will provide a soundtrack.

This exhibition showcases work from our inventory and reflects our current art program. Having started as an online boutique called fabric8 in 1995, the last 20 years have been a strange and unexpected journey toward becoming a contemporary gallery. We are grateful to all of the talented and creative people we’ve worked with over the years, and to the thousands of customers and patrons that have supported San Francisco art and culture.

The Affordable Art Series is a thorough exploration of the flourishing local art community, offering avid collectors and interested newbies a peek at the current mindset in urban painting. Luna Rienne will regularly release new collections of this series.
