NEW SHOW OPENS SATURDAY, DECEMBER 7th 6pm AT THE MINE

MINE gallery in Fairfax is opening a new show entitled Motion and Rest.  Showing artists: Douglas Yee, R. Dean Nyberg, Richard Dieterich, Camille Esposito, Brian Evjenth, Sandra Cohn and Amy Stock.

San Francisco artist Douglas Yee is an abstract and figurative oil painter. He creates intense personal moments, masterfully creating sensations of the past and of the present, sparking the viewer’s senses not only visually, but also ethereally.   Fairfax artist R. Dean Nyberg’s art begins with finding the right piece of wood. Destined for landfill, Nyberg gives these native cast-offs new life by bringing out the inherent beauty of the wood’s grain and texture, while incorporating it’s flaws into the piece’s overall design.  Richard Dieterich sculpts in a cold-cast process, combining a mixture of recycled atomized metal powders with a hard matrix material, allowing in-studio casting from his Fairfax home, without the use of a foundry. Dieterich uses embedded river rock in some pieces, and recycled steel for his mounts. As an environmentally conscious sculptor, he works to keep his process and results close to nature. A Marin native, Camille Esposito’s work is intuitive.  A lifetime of Marin landscapes and it’s nature are deeply imbedded in Esposito’s work, and her art provides a window into her emotional connection to this land. Brian Evjenth, a Bay Area native as well, draws also from his connection to the wilds that surround us here in the bay area, intensely guided by the local animals that guide his spiritual journey as an artist. Evjenth ‘s paintings combine animal and primal energies to human conscious awareness. Marin’s Sandra Cohn, begins her work where Evjenth’s ends, in the realm of the spiritual subconscious. She transforms this fascination with consciousness into sculptural works which merge the human form with recycled machinery. The results are delightful moments of spirituality in the vast machine of life.
