We were delighted to host so many of our wonderful artists yesterday and enjoyed a truly wonderful turnout of friends and guests to view our new show FEMINA'24. It is a tremendous showcase of 15 outstanding regional women artists - not to be missed so please come and see it! The artists in FEMINA'24 use a broad spectrum of media and approach, encompass a span of ages and experience in the arts and have a discernible difference in intent. Many of the 15 artists have previously shown at Sofie Contemporary Arts and all of them either currently reside or have recently resided in the San Francisco Bay Area, primarily in Napa, Sonoma or Marin counties. The work ranges widely from gorgeously colorful abstractions, to charming collages, assemblages of found or re-created objects, beautiful portraits of women, reimagined historical artists' self-portraits, monumental eggs, suspended sculptures of microprint paper, cast paper florals, dancers, tributes to Ukraine and Lahaina, studies of birds and much more. It is a densely installed exhibition and there is much to see and consider in the 10-foot narrow but 90-foot long gallery.

Furious Spring: D.A. Bishop May 24 - Aug 18, 2024

We are delighted to feature D.A.Bishop's solo show entitled FURIOUS SPRING.
Don Bishop's landscapes always feel like places we've been before... Although not literal, his paintings portray something deeply familiar; it's hard to believe that anyone else has ever felt as intensely about a certain kind of time, place or even weather. But Don Bishop does, and he paints it.
Many of the works shown were first conceived when Bishop glimpsed remarkable transient conditions on his daily early-morning bicycle rides and paused to photograph an intoxicating moment, sometimes sharing the impact with other dawn riders who happened to witness the same view. From these momentary "sketches" of nearly super-natural conditions, Bishop created paintings that cast majesty against simple earthbound buildings. Aptly colored with lush greens, radiant golds, bruise-like violets and bloody corals, and almost always crowned with glorious clouds, the strange drama and paradox of our times is deeply infused into these paintings. The paintings have been a huge hit and we invite you to visit the show which runs until August 18th.
