Feature Exhibitions by Centa Schumacher, and Al Preciado opens with an artists’ reception on First Friday February 3rd, 7-11pm with live music by Freya Seeburger. “Lunar Phases,” new photography series by Centa Schumacher Every of these digitally composited images are made from personal photographs –some “serious”, some snapshots–that I’ve taken over the years. By layering and overlapping these images in the shape of familiar lunar phases, I am evoking the cyclical nature of life, as nothing can truly be counted on but change. However, underneath it all the true self remains, sometimes illuminated and uplifted by the change, other times left in murky shadow. “Brutal /Tender” recent works by Al Preciado An exhibition of sculptures, paintings, photo collages and installation work encompassing the last 6 months in and out of the studio. “The roughshod and gentle nature of the art reflects a growing appreciation for all sides of my personal…

August Feature Exhibits by Michelle Waters, Jonathan Perea
KALEID Gallery presents two new solo exhibitions by Michelle Waters and Jonathan Perea Musings From the Wastelandby Michelle Waters The paintings in this series by Bay Area artist Michelle Waters are influenced by the nightmarish imagery of Hieronymus Bosch, Edward Abbey’s writings and her work as a wildlife rehabilitator and environmental activist. Her art deconstructs the assumption of human superiority by showing what might transpire if animals took control over the fate of the planet. Animals demolishing the Glen Canyon Dam and wildlife laying waste to a bulldozer are some of the characters who populate her paintings. Convergenceby Jonathan Perea Subatomic abstract realism: A worldwide acceleration where science and spirituality dances to the tune of the cosmos. The illusion of duality unveiled a new beginning.

KALEID Featured Exhibits for May 2011
KALEID Gallery is proud to present to new featured exhibitions by talented artists Emonic, and Katie Gutierrez RENASCI by Emonic RENASCI is the Latin word meaning rebirth or to be renewed. The body of work presented will deal with concepts and subject material based on human energy for an upcoming illustrated book called CRETUM due later next year. The Strip by Katie C. Gutierrez Intrigued with the notion of distilling a place as visually overwhelming as Las Vegas down into simplified points of bleeding light, Gutierrez encaustically collages her own photos with iconic vintage Vegas imagery to create her own brilliant yet hazy version of this place she loves to hate.

KALEID Feature Exhibits by Dotti Cichon, Kathleen Wolf
Join us for our Featured Exhibits by Dotti Cichon and Kathleen Wolf at KALEID for the month of March. Dotti Cichon: The Grandeur of the Commonplace: Impressions of Europe two bodies of photographic work from a recent trip to Europe. The Grandeur of the Commonplace explores the incredible beauty of ordinary places such as train stations, shopping malls, shops and stairways in panoramic photographs that exaggerate perspective by having forced the camera to do things it was not meant to do. Impressions of Europe, work done in Paris and Les Andelys in France is an homage to the impressionist painters who attempted to capture “impressions” and not just copy reality which is something that, by definition, is a challenge to emulate as a photographer. Kathleen Wolf: Almost Edible This exhibition is comprised of several approaches to food painting: the earliest works represent visual recipes, the second is comprised of viewing…
