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.…
KALEID Gallery is proud to present: “A Beautiful Fugate by Troublesome Creek”Jemal Diamond solo exhibition Artist’s reception: Friday, May 2nd 5pm–9pmFree entry; part of the First Fridays ArtWalk SJ“A Beautiful Fugate by Troublesome Creek” is the latest collection of paintings by Jemal Diamond, showcasing the interplay between his abstracted, segmented figures and landscapes that blend the organic with the technological. The figures exist in a state of tension – at once passive and reactive – amidst shifting natural and constructed environments.

They are both mechanical and organic, masculine and feminine, abstract and representational. There lies embedded intentional dichotomies to create a playground of visual cues and possible…
KALEID Gallery is proud to present: RewiredJonathan Kermit solo exhibition Artist’s Reception: First Friday April 4th 5pm–9pm As a long time collector of urban flotsam, I have always been attracted to the cast offs, the leavings. For the past 15 years, bits of discarded, twisted, rusty wire have provided the basis of my work. These salvaged fragments have been stepped on, run over, rained on and buried. Using subtle manipulation, I intuitively, often without a preconceived plan, shape the wire into smooth organic forms. I incorporate a myriad of papers and imagery, along with metal objects and the occasional rusty hippo. This exhibit features mostly new work along with a handful of favorite older arrangements and several reworked pieces—I love recycling my own work. About the Artist:Jonathan Kermit is a self-taught, mixed media artist based in San Jose whose creative journey is deeply intertwinedwith the serendipitous discoveries of everyday life.…
