“Very Machine” Uriel Kaminitz solo exhibit October 2025

Posted on September 20, 2025

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. In his work, Uriel explores the ideas of humanity in isolation, the metaphysical locations the mind transports its subjects to, and the effects of corporate monarchy on nature—all wrapped in a blanket of absurdity. In painting, he aims to represent his subjects in a musical rhythm through use of composition and vibrant color. His biggest artistic inspirations are…

Portraits from the Wild by Jeffrey Bramschreiber September 2025

Posted on September 4, 2025

KALEID Gallery is proud to present: Portraits from the WildJeffrey Bramschreiber solo exhibition The last three years have been very challenging for me with both serious physical and mental challenges to try and overcome. I focused on the world around us and the beings that live there. Kind of immersing myself in nature to try and reconnect not only with it but with myself. These paintings cover some of that ongoing journey. ~Jeff Bramschreiber Exhibition dates: September 5 – 29, 2025 Artist’s reception: First Friday Sept. 5th 5pm–9pmduring South First Fridays ArtWalk SJ Gallery hours: Thursdays–*Fridays 12pm–7pm, Saturdays 12pm-5pm and *First Fridays 5pm–9pm.Free admission.

“Gods Like Us” Jemal Diamond Solo Exhibit November 2023

Posted on November 1, 2023

KALEID Gallery is proud to present: Gods Like Us Jemal Diamond solo exhibition Artist’s reception: First Friday November 3rd 5pm–9pm.Free admission and all ages. Part of the First Fridays ArtWalk SJ. “GODS LIKE US” is a collection of acrylic paintings spanning two years of work by artist Jemal Diamond. An experiment in the confining shape of the circle – an undoubtedly profound and universally significant shape, the pieces cast a spotlight on unique clusters of contrasting and complementary shapes. Both mechanical and organic, masculine and feminine, abstract and representational, there lies embedded intentional dichotomies to create a playground of visual cues and possible meaning. All titles for works in this collection are given by viewers like you, including “Gods like us” title by Anna M. About the Artist:Jemal Diamond is a south Bay Area-based…

“The Age of Enlightenment” David Mejia Solo Exhibit April 2023

Posted on April 4, 2023

KALEID Gallery is proud to present: The Age of Enlightenment David V. Mejia solo exhibition We owe much to the thinkers and innovators of the Enlightenment period. Explorers, inventors, mathematicians, scientists, politicians, philosophers, and writers changed people’s lives, how they see the world, challenging the thousand-year-old Medieval authority. This was the dawn of our modern world. My art show explores some of the key figures like Isaac Newton, John Locke, Voltaire, and others who gave us concepts we take for granted today, such as gravity, representational government, and Liberty. I’ve pulled together my interest in Western history and philosophy, with a blend of art styles from early European paintings and political cartoons, modern comics, caricature art, and watercolors. This is my labor of love I’ve devoted the past year to. I hope you enjoy it and come away with a greater interest and fascination with our shared modern cultural beginnings. About…

KALEID Gallery is proud to present: dis/ab STRACTIONS Steven Borelli solo exhibitionArtist’s reception: First Friday March 3rd 5pm–9pmpart of South FIRST FRIDAYS ArtWalk SJ AbstractionsDistractionsDistracting AbstractionsAbstract Distractions Whatever you may want to call them, they all lead us to the same place, this collection of art. And however you want to describe them, they should be fun. Each piece in this show is a collage of whatever feelings, inspirations, and intuitions are affecting at the time of creation. Immerse yourself in them and see whatever you want. One of the things I like most about doing abstract art is when people tell me what they see in a particular piece. I want each viewer to get their own idea or message from my art. Consider them a Rorschach test for imagination instead of psychoses. Unless you are psychotic, in which case, friend me on Facebook.

Fruit and Mammals by Denis Korkh

Posted on May 3, 2017

There is nothing that could unite Fruit And Mammals together except their squareness; 3 x 3 feet each, spaced 3 feet apart, and that I made them in sequence. And that I made them. Each painting is a stray thought (with layers and layers of more thoughts underneath) and the layers are no more related than the five paintings are between each other. I start by making the canvas as ugly as possible: the worst colours, awful–seriously awful– lines and shapes. I make the grossest compositions until I reach a point where, no exaggeration, it is hard to bear to look at them; I truly cringe inside. Each painting went through this between two and six times before I let it become finished. ~Denis Korkh
