May 23rd through July 25th - Paintings by Anne Bradford and Philip Buller.

Several new landscapes of the surrounding countryside by Bradford are presented in this show. Images from the vineyards and country lane where the artist lives are depicted in oil on canvas. Also included in this selection are views of the nearby Russian River.

Philip Buller is known for representational paintings that transcend literal narratives through their ambiguity of historic time, suggestion of universal themes and overriding intensity of feeling. In this current body of work, figures are depicted in vaguely described locations, wearing clothing that is generalized and suggestive of a pre-industrial or foreign culture.

He states, " At this time my painting involves representation of the human figure. My intention is to follow threads of sensation and feeling to create paintings to which I have as deep an emotional response as possible. To guide me toward intensity of feeling I use composition (the abstract relationship of shapes) rather than narrative, as the primary vehicle. In this way I feel I am able to uncover meaning from an unconscious place. This particular process offers mystery, ambiguity, and ultimately the chance for transformation."
