“Experience the Journey” by Erik Niemann<\/p><\/div>\n

Gallagher and Lindsey is a satellite venue\u00a0of the Frank Bette Center for the Arts<\/a>\u00a0in Alameda, CA. Each month I bring down one artist\u2019s work, and another artist\u2019s work goes up. Once we have\u00a0a completely new group show\u00a0we have a reception for the artists. Friday, September 10th, from 6-9 PM, Gallagher & Lindsey will host a reception for the four artists currently exhibiting there. On display are the paintings of Erik Niemann and Christine Rossi, the paintings and drawings of Janis Anton, and art gourds by Marjorie Albright.<\/p>\n

Erik Niemann creates contemporary abstract paintings in acrylic on canvas which have been exhibited worldwide. He\u2019ll be giving a talk about these large, vivid, richly textured pieces at the reception, beginning at 7 PM. He\u2019s got some great stories, including how his work ended up at a US embassy in East Timor!<\/p>\n

I\u2019d had my eye on Christine Rossi’s mixed-media \u201cAlice in Wonderland\u201d series for some time. Some of these pieces were among the highlights of \u201cGames People Play<\/a>,\u201d an exhibit at Rhythmix Cultural Center in April-May of this year. From her initial encounter with Wonderland in “I’m Late” to its frightening climax\u00a0in “Twas Brillig,”\u00a0Alice’s\u00a0anxiety is\u00a0palpable as she battles\u00a0bankers and jabberwocky alike.<\/p>\n

“Mad Tea Party” by Christine Rossi<\/p><\/div>\n

Janis Anton is a National Endowment for the Arts grant recipient who has exhibited in galleries in Alameda, Oakland, and San Francisco, as well as the San Jose Museum of Modern Art.\u00a0Her\u00a0Black & White series is a combination of oil paintings on beech wood and ink on canvas. “Kiss Me” recalls William Gibson’s symbiotic alien barflies, and the dark silhouette of a bunny\u00a0in “The Visitor” raises the creepiosity factor to a 9+, right where I like it.<\/p>\n

The amazing art gourds in the front window of Gallagher & Lindsey are the work of Marjorie Albright, who lovingly raises the gourds herself. These mixed media pieces include lidded bowls, a bird house and feeder, cat treat jar, dominoes game, and a Native American mask. I had the honor of being Marjorie\u2019s first patron many years ago, and remain a huge fan.<\/p>\n

“Art Deco Explosion” by Marjorie Albright<\/p><\/div>\n

The reception is timed to coincide with Alameda’s monthly Estuary Art Attack<\/a> event to give you more bang for your buck! (OK, it’s free, but you know what I mean. As a member of PETA I can’t bring myself to use the “two birds” expression.) In addition to this artist reception, the Frank Bette Center for the Arts at 1601 Paru will be open late. Speaking of birds, stop by and check out the phoenix crafted out of recycled material by Phil Hargrave. Autobody\u00a0Fine Art at\u00a01517 Park Street is holding a closing reception for James Shefik’s outstanding debut, “I Am Not An Army<\/a>,” from 7-10 PM.\u00a0Rhythmix Cultural Works<\/a>\u00a0at\u00a02513 Blanding Avenue\u00a0is having a Gypsy Dance Party\u00a0and, in their K Gallery, the “One Eye Open” photography exhibit includes photos by… me! Afterwards, carefully cross the street to Chuck DiGuida’s Bridgehead Studios. Something’s always going on there.<\/p>\n

Art in Alameda? Hell yeah.<\/p>\n

Gallagher & Lindsey is located at 2424 Central Avenue, Alameda, CA 94501. (510) 521-8181<\/p>\n
