New show: vision/color/love at the MINE February 1st - March 30th.

Mine Gallery is pleased to present:

vision/color/love,an exhibition with Nicole Cameron, Richard Dieterich, Sherry Petrini and Nick Wildermuth. February 1st to  March 30th, 2014.

Nick Wildermuth's Neon saturated still lifes, depict tabletops that are crowded with foods, products, books, plants, and flowers. The scene which emerges from Wildermuth's canvas is not a severe one which reflects  on the significance of these items, but more rewardingly, evokes a secret world where playful and colorful inanimate characters live to the fullest in a haphazard existence of abstracted and colorful backdrops and living spaces.

Nicole Cameron's symbolic, metaphoric, and surrealistic paintings takes the heart as its subject.  The work on one level, is an exploration of the heart as a metaphoric connection to love. The surreal nature of her expressions, and the anatomical heart exposed outside of it's natural element give added layers to this work suggesting Cameron has much more complicated and complex relationship with her subject.

Richard Dietrich works figuratively in cold cast mixed metals and steel. The contrast between his materials and his subjects evokes the durable strength and beauty of human form. Pieces in this new collection have a quiet devotion to a serene inner emotional life, which lifts the heart.

The colorful, spontaneous and oftentimes humorous paintings of Sherry Petrini  are firmly rooted in her vision of courageous spontaneity.  The pure joy of her pieces are in the whimsy of her subjects and her ability to capture in each, a unique exuberance. Petrini's work kindles the kind of glee experienced with a triumphant refusal to color within the lines.

An opening reception for vision/color/love will be February 1st from 5 - 8pm at Gallery Mine: 1820 Sir Francis Drake Blvd, Fairfax, CA 94930 (415) 755-4472.
