There will be a book signing for DeLap's monograph, Paintings, Sculpture & Works on Paper 1962-2013. The recent paintings, sculpture and works on paper on exhibit at Rena Brandsten are far more animated in person than revealed in photographs. Absolutely beautiful paintings & objects !

Suzan Frecon, oil paintings and sun, 02.19 - 03.28

Suzan Frecon's third solo show this February at David Zwirner in New York. This would be a great reason to get the hell out of San Francisco! Suzan creates beautiful arrangements of color and form. And in a similar way as Don Voisine, she uses variations of sheen from matte to gloss. I find her paintings to be absolutely stunning.

David Zwirner press release for the upcoming show is here:
