Check out the latest Bedford Gallery exhibit Bits + Pieces, Contemporary Art on a Small Scale, through December 17th in downtown Walnut Creek.
From the exhibit web page:
From teacup dogs and ships in a bottle, to tiny dinner tables set with a feast, fascination with pint-sized items has endured the test of time. The featured artists work in micro and small-scale, creating intricate paintings, sculpture, ceramics, and installations in direct opposition to their standard-sized counterparts.
Spotted this new mural on the new, soon-to-open Crate & Barrel store in downtown Walnut Creek. At first, I wasn’t sure it’s finished, but I think it is? I see a Japanese rising sun like on the flag but don’t understand the meaning. Any ideas? The artist listed is Casey O’Connell. Mural Insta can be viewed here. Clearly a forest scene as noted in the comment below.
Check out the latest Bedford Gallery exhibit Erin Fong | The Sensation of Color, through April 2nd in downtown Walnut Creek.
From the exhibit web page:
Through dedicated experimentation, Bay Area artist and letterpress printer Erin Fong explores this concept and how color affects our emotional responses. Erin Fong | The Sensation of Color will transform the gallery into a vibrant lab with the artist’s prints, paintings, and installations. The exhibition invites visitors to tap into their experience, both individually and collectively, as they are immersed in hues across the spectrum.
