KALEID Gallery is very proud to present “Fresh Terrain” by KALEID Gallery resident artist Al Preciado. This exhibit explores the landscape of the local Scenery and interesting figurative forms. The woman as muse and mythology figure is part of my work process. Big sloppy, incoherent brush strokes are part of my working technique. I enjoy having absolute freedom!!! ~Al Preciado Artist Reception: Friday April 6th 7pm–11pm part of the South FIRST FRIDAYS Art Walk in downtown San Jose Exhibition Dates: April 6–27, 2018 88 South Fourth Street (@ San Fernando) San Jose, CA 95112 info@KALEIDGallery.com 408-947-1785Gallery Hours: Tuesday – Saturday, noon -7pm Free admission…

KALEID Gallery proudly presents “Breaking Free” by resident artist Lourdes Morante-Mieses. In this modern society, a variety of stressors­–economic challenges, racial and social oppression, and family issues–distress the individual in so many ways resulting in physical and emotional health problems that, in some cases, could be fatal. This show is intended to inspire the viewers to take important steps in their own lives to break old patterns and emotional chains to achieve freedom, peace, health, balance, and happiness. “Art is a form of expression and release for the soul. The making of art creates room for peace, strength, health, happiness and joy.” ~Lourdes Morante-Mieses Artist Reception: Friday April 6th 7pm–11pm part of the South FIRST FRIDAYS Art Walk in downtown San JoseExhibition Dates: April 6–27, 2018 88 South Fourth Street (@ San Fernando) San Jose, CA 95112 info@KALEIDGallery.com 408-947-1785Gallery Hours: Tuesday – Saturday, noon -7pm Free admission…

My paintings pry and dissect nature and memory to develop an ideal wreckage. Cubism is God’s clutter, an omnidirectional view, facets at all angles. I perceive and slit my roses within their all-seeing entirety whereas my Miasma Series breaks down cubism into abstract form. A frenzy of emotion layered over, under, and through each other to emanate the foulness in beauty and bliss in suffocation. Omni is Latin for all and it is commonly used with words that would describe a god who is all-seeing, all-creating, and all-powerful. I believe it to define most artists as well.

“It has always seemed strange to me that we talk about finding intelligent life on other planets, when we have plenty of intelligent life forms right here on Earth that we should be focusing on saving. Nature and animals have been healing for me in this life, and the natural world is now under attack like never before. In response, I’m drawn to making art about all that is still beautiful in this world, and all that needs protection.” ~Michelle Waters

One definition of a charm is a verbal formula believed to have magical force. New paintings and assemblages by Jenifer Renzel explore the notion of a purely visual charm invoked by combining disparate images, parts, and mediums. If you are intrigued, confused, or disconcerted by a piece, the charm worked.

Painting is relaxing and meditative to me–it calms my mind and is a source of contentment & joy. This work is an expression of this experience and I wish it may spark some of that joy wherever this art will be. ~Nadja Martens

New works created in a host of media during a hyperactive hallucinogenic fever dream of creativity and imagination. Steven Borelli has been drawing since he was a fetus. The inside of his mother's womb is tattooed with the product of his blossoming visions. Today, between fever dreams and feeding his cat, Borelli is still an artist. Doing arty things. For art's sake.
