Oakland Art Murmur: Oakland

CHILL TRUMPS STREET SHOULDERS

The murmur: slammed, still. Good.

Stopped into Hatch Gallery.

When you press the keys

this crazy contraption made marks on the paper

which ran throughout the space

One of the many reasons I love Oakland:

the "street" art is often just as good

if not better than most of the work in the galleries.

Nancy Chan, Matt Momchilov, and Jesse Schlesinger at Eleanor Harwood Gallery

ALWAYS IS ALWAYS FOREVER

On my way down to Eleanor Harwood Gallery saturday

I stumbled upon this gem!

Gotta be Swoon.

And on to the gallery.

This is by Matt Momchilov.

Oil on canvas paintings.

This one was about 40" square.

(That is sunlight in the bottom right not paint...)

About 16" (Thats Shannon of

Shannon and the Clams throwin bolos...)

(dude asked for it just so you know...)

36" or so

15"

Matt has a straightforward yet finessed touch.

These engaging paintings are epic within their own

personal space. Nice!

Speaking of epic, these 6 foot lifesize portraits are by Nancy Chan.

I believe they are ink on paper.

Nancy has a masterful touch. Delicate yet assertive,

it was a smart decision to go big this time.

These pieces project their presence into your space.

Great work!

This piece is by Jesse Schlesinger.

I really didnt get good images of his work because it was

behind glass. This drawing is

graphite on paper about 16" or so.

And then I saw this Paul Wackers out on the table.

Holy shit his paintings are so incredible!

Definitely one of the BEST painters out there right now

I wanted to cry for missing his show at the luggage store.
