Unbreakable bonds between usNatasha Kramskaya Solo Exhibition Exploring the metaphysical: what powerful threads connect us to the places we’re from, the ancestors who came before us, our mothers, fathers, and the people we love, no matter how far the distance? Natasha Kramskaya’s second solo exhibition investigates a state of emotional quantum entanglement: a unified system where we remain connected regardless of the space or time between us. Created over the last few years (from the start of war in Ukraine to the recent loss of her mother), this body of work serves as a visceral bridge between dimensions. Through bold, gestural marks and the use of textural elements, Kramskaya explores how we carry the fragments of our past and how our consciousness communicates with the unreachable. To Mom, 1945-2026 About the Artist: Originally from Ukraine and now based in San José, Natashaʼs work serves as a bridge between two worlds, fusing the traditional with…

@lt5+ a Photography Showof images created through Photograms, Pinhole, Plastic, Polaroid & alt Processcurated by Robertino Ragazza @lt5+ process is a photography exhibition centered on experimental works created through historical alternative processes, highlighting camera-less and low fidelity techniques that embrace tactility, chance, and material exploration. Photograms, made without camera, rely on direct contact between objects and light-sensitive surfaces to produce unique impressions. Pinhole photography uses a light-tight chamber with a small aperture to project inverted images, resulting in soft, atmospheric, and time-based photographs that emphasize duration and subtle movement. Plastic camera photography expands this experimental language through the use of inexpensive, plastic-bodied cameras such as Diana, Holga, and Lomo. Their optical imperfections-light leaks, vignetting, distortion, and soft focus-produce lo-fi images that prioritize mood, spontaneity, and unpredictability over technical precision. Additional alternative processes presented in the exhibition include cyanotype, polaroid lights, and image transfers, each emphasizing materials intervention and hands-on manipulation.…

KALEID Gallery is proud to present: “Visual Memory of Existence” Mahsa Emoventur solo exhibition Emoventur explores existence as a process of becoming. Standing before blank surfaces, wall or canvas, the artist enters a state of self-exploration where forms emerge instinctively rather than by plan. Each gesture records a moment of transformation—a visual memory of existence unfolding in real time. The works do not function as fixed statements, but as traces of presence, movement, and continuous emergence. Emoventur is not a style, but a process of encountering the self through motion, color, and uncertainty. About the Artist:I am an Iranian-born interdisciplinary artist whose practice explores personal transformation, migration, and emotional expression through painting. Working across painting, installation, and street environments, i have painted in six countries, creating large-scale abstract works driven by movement, gesture, and layered color. Shaped by cross-cultural experience, my work investigates identity as fluid, unfolding, and continuously emerging.…

KALEID Gallery is proud to present:“Very Machine” by resident artist Uriel Kaminitz The forces of corporate domination seep into every crevice and airway. Everyone everywhere is a brand because everyone everywhere can be seen all the time. Where can humanity go from here? The machine is taking over, but is the machine an outside force or a reflection?Artist’s Reception: First Friday, October 3rd 5pm–9pm (First Fridays ArtWalk)Solo Exhibition: October 3 – 31, 2025 About the Artist:Uriel (b. 2002) is a young artist who has been living in the Bay Area since 2010.

KALEID Gallery is proud to present: The Phenomenological Renaissance Jonathan Perea solo exhibition There’s an ongoing awakening in the collective. A phenomenological Renaissance that is happening around the world. We are becoming the creators of this orchestra, that binds every note to its proper key,  to open itself to its fullest potential where every mold of the old patterns are broken, not forgotten or despised, but integrated. For Flexibility is wisdom, and Observation in its purest form, becomes fundamental substrate to explain our emotional and logical reality.  Projections are statements about ourselves, for our thought is cosmically  binding,  with both the physical, and nonphysical in this realm. Analytical/Mystical idealism is a logical empirical tool to understand reality. Where science and spirituality begin to align, orient, and position itself as both are needed to understand one another. The knowledge of the feminine and masculine as one, the logical and intuitive as whole.…
