This reception is part of the South FIRST FRIDAYS artwalk and is free and open to the public. Exhibits on view through Sept. 26th. Photo Landscape Adventures by photographer Rob Lehman This showing brings to you a sampling of the photographs I have taken during recent years. My love for landscape and nature scenes has taken me throughout California, my home, and beyond. I first learned the basics of black and white photography at San Diego State University in 1975, and have become more and more driven toward those basic teachings in my pursuit to create images. I enjoy the “feel” and resolution of a large or medium format camera as opposed to a digital camera, and this…

First Friday June 6th Featured Exhibits

KALEID gallery presents featured exhibits by clayprint monograph artist Martha Castillo and mixed media artist Eric Taggart. Artists’ Reception First Friday June 6th, 7-9pm Exhibit on view through July 12, 2008. This reception is part of the South FIRST FRIDAYS artwalk. It is free and open to the public. Cities and Beyond by Martha Castillo This collection includes work from two of Castillo’s most recent series: “Cities I Have Known”, and “Beyond the Surface”. Mostly large, all abstract, expressive and lively, they capture her feelings about places and ideas. I perceive life as many of layers of mood, color and texture, and am inspired by the visual evidence of ageing all around us. Those layers, built up over time, and worn down by use, generate the uneven patina of life’s experience. *Clayprinting allows me to be curious, to explore complex interplays of shape and color, surface and core. The monoprints…

First Friday May 2nd Featured Exhibits

KALEID gallery presents featured exhibits by photographer Josh Hires and assemblage artist Philo Northrup. Artists’ Reception First Friday May 2nd, 7-9pm Music by Elevator Out The Market 2.0 by Josh Hires On the surface, The Market is a look at a single day in the life of the many street vendors in Bay-Area farmers markets. This collection of work is a culmination of Josh Hires’ targeted research and photography efforts over the past 2 years. Initially a BFA project at San Jose State University, the images strive to show us a dual purpose. Firstly, they showcase a cultural phenomenon that is rather unique within the scope of America’s agriculture scene. Second, and perhaps most importantly they address the larger question of “what is for dinner, and how do the varied answers to this question effect us as a society”. Comprised of a series of 20×20 and larger Light Jet Prints,…
