Known for their emotional and undulating compositions\, Benzo and Choi exploit the unstable boundaries between interior and exterior worlds. Their representations of life are warped\, distended\, burnished\, and ultimately engaged in a reality that is elastic rather than fixed\, shaped by memory\, intuition\, and shifting sensorial conditions. \nOperating at the formal and conceptual nexus of Surrealism and Cubism\, Benzo’s paintings reinterpret early 20th-century modernism for the contemporary moment. Grounded in conventions of still life and portraiture\, his pastel-hued interiors are rendered as sites of mystery and multiplicity. In Benzo’s painted world flowers float as they wilt and the joints of furniture crease like flesh. Blending the quotidian with the otherworldly\, Benzo eschews realism for a dream-like plane of being\, offering a comfortable familiarity that always necessitates a double-take. \nChoi’s ceramic sculptures similarly forgo conventional modes of representation in favor of more circuitous structures. Often figurative\, her work treats the human body as a plastic form. Limbs and faces emerge from painted underglaze applied to hand-built planes of flattened clay that twist and twine around each other. Choi’s figures never engage in a moment of recognition\, instead looking outward with ambivalent expressions. Their contorted anatomy foregrounds their alterity\, evoking the complexity of human connection\, individuation\, and the construction of the other. \nForgotten Eyes will run Friday\, April 3 to Saturday\, May 30\, 2026. An opening reception will be held Friday\, April 3 from 5-8 pm.

Okamoto’s art is heavily influenced by science fiction and psychedelic culture. Given his intense passion for repetitive line drawing\, Okamoto has been known to work over a year on a single piece. \nOkamoto partnered with Microsoft on a Microsoft Surface Pro 8 and made a mural for the ad campaign in 2022. And he has also done collaborative projects with PBS KCET in Southern California.\nOkamoto’s murals are in CA\, TX\, NV\, OR\, UT\, MI\, NY in the United States\, Tokyo Japan\, and Berlin Germany. \nArtist statement: Brenda Cibrian\nThrough paintings and murals I seek to make art that uplifts and creates connection within ourselves and with the world around us. My work starts with a feeling first then subject matter\, I then add in playful elements with a whimsical visual flair. I use surreal colors\, combine imagery that is in and out of focus\, with graphical\, symbolic shapes to tie compositions together. I like to explore themes of identity\, introspection\, core memories and nostalgia. Nature\, abstract shapes and people are recurring elements in my art and my influences come from my Mexican American upbringing in South Central as well as early 2000s internet culture. \nApril 3rd – May 30th\, 2026\nReceptions: First Friday\, April 3rd\, 5-10pm\nReceptions: First Friday\, May 1st\, 5-10pm \nHours:\nSaturdays 1-5pm\nEvery first Friday of the month 5-9pm\notherwise by appointment URL:https://oaklandartmurmur.org/event/dreamscapes-art-by-daisuke-okamoto-brenda-cibrian/ LOCATION:FM Gallery\, 483 25th Street\, Oakland\, CA\, 94612\, United States CATEGORIES:Art Walk,Ongoing Exhibitions,Opening Reception ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://oaklandartmurmur.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/The-Onondagaweb.jpg GEO:37;-122 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=FM Gallery 483 25th Street Oakland CA 94612 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=483 25th Street:geo:-122,37 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260411T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260530T170000 DTSTAMP:20260526T014541 CREATED:20260326T223446Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260326T223446Z UID:10004744-1775905200-1780160400@oaklandartmurmur.org SUMMARY:Rubeena Ratcliffe: Return to Form DESCRIPTION:Visit the gallery to see new work by Canadian painter Rubeena Ratcliffe.

Drawing from a vast archive of printed matter: pages of magazines\, discarded scraps\, and remnants of images once whole\, she assembles hundreds of paper fragments translating the image into a new state of presence. Within this self-imposed constraint\, she embarks on a rigorous and intuitive search for the exact hue\, value\, or texture needed to bring a scene to life. \n​At its core\, this body of work is an homage to the quiet\, enduring moments that define human life: reading together\, tending to small rituals\, routine tasks and moments of reflection. In an era often marked by business and noise\, Gill’s practice offers a counterpoint—a deliberate slowing down\, a careful reconstruction of meaning through attention and care reminding us that life’s significance resides not in spectacle\, but in the accumulation of small\, luminous moments. This work is a reminder – remember to live. \nTrained as a painter and influenced by mentor’s Jay DeFeo and Ron Dahl\, Gill graduated with a BFA from California College of Arts and Crafts\, in addition to degrees from Michigan State University in French. With a robust exhibition history\, she has shown extensively in the Bay Area with solo exhibitions dating over the past twenty years and inclusion in a long list of juried shows. Her work has been published in Studio Visit Magazine and 48 Hills\, among other publications\, and recognition in painting and watercolor with awards from the Sebastopol Center for the Arts\, Northern National Art Competition\, Richmond Art Center and Fort Bragg Art Center.

Borrowing its title from the Talking Heads song\, the exhibition considers “place” not as a fixed location\, but as a feeling—something recognized in passing\, in fragments\, in moments of stillness. \nUsing paint chips in his collages\, Dikio reconstructs familiar “every day” scenes into compositions that feel both grounded and unsettled. What emerges is a visual language of belonging\, where home is less about geography and more about resonance.” \nDikio is a Bay Area artist born in 1975 on Clark Air Force Base in the Philippines. Raised within a transient military culture\, he found early grounding in drawing and observation\, developing a lifelong sensitivity to place\, movement\, and change. \nIn his recent collages\, Dikio tries to capture the colorful and quirky architecture and scenes found in his immediate surroundings that are distinctive of the surrounding Bay Area. \nHe received his BA in Fine Arts from the University of California\, Santa Cruz in 1997\, and has since worked across figurative\, landscape\, and mixed-media practices.

Focusing on ordinary architecture—coastal houses\, open lawns\, interiors\, still lifes\, and expansive skies—these paintings place absence at the center of experience. Rather than narrative\, Carlson emphasizes observation\, structure\, and atmosphere. Buildings act as anchors within broad fields of light and color\, suggesting both stability and solitude. Subtle tonal shifts allow spaces to feel at once specific and timeless\, inviting viewers to consider how shadow\, memory\, and perception shape place. While Edward Hopper often conveys psychological isolation and Fairfield Porter captures domestic intimacy\, Carlson draws from both to explore architecture as a perceptual construct rather than a narrative stage. In these restrained scenes\, stillness is not emptiness but presence—an invitation to look longer and see more. His work suggests that the contemporary American landscape\, when closely observed\, continues to offer moments of quiet depth and reflection. \nBio:\nGustave Carlson is an architect and principal of Gustave Carlson Design in Berkeley\, California\, and a painter exploring the quiet tension between architecture\, light\, and lived space. He is the author of Pacific Modern Houses of Northern California (ORO Editions\, 2018)\, a widely acclaimed survey of regional modernism. His award-winning architectural work has received international recognition and appears in Elle Decor\, Dwell\, Wallpaper\, The New York Times\, and the San Francisco Chronicle. Carlson holds a Master of Architecture from the University of Pennsylvania and studied painting there under Color Field painter Adele Alsop. He has attended residencies at Edgewood Farm at Castle Hill in Truro\, Massachusetts\, and Studio Faire in Nérac\, France. His paintings have earned honors including Best in Show at the Greenwich Art Society and have been exhibited at the Provincetown Art Association and Museum\, Castle Hill Center for the Arts\, Tiburon Library Gallery\, Greenwich Art Society\, and Mercury 20 Gallery. His work is held in private collections. \nGallery Hours: Friday and Saturday\, 12 – 5 pm (and by appointment)\nArtists’ Reception and Talk: Saturday\, May 16\, 3 – 5 pm\nOakland Art Murmur / First Friday: Friday\, June 5\, 5 – 9 pm URL:https://oaklandartmurmur.org/event/gustave-carlson-new-american-stillness/ LOCATION:Mercury 20 Gallery\, 475 25th Street\, Oakland\, CA\, 94612\, United States CATEGORIES:Ongoing Exhibitions ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://oaklandartmurmur.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Perry-Hill-Screen-Porch-Final-Gustave-Carlson-scaled.jpeg GEO:37.804829;-122.272476 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Mercury 20 Gallery 475 25th Street Oakland CA 94612 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=475 25th Street:geo:-122.272476,37.804829 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260508T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260613T170000 DTSTAMP:20260526T014541 CREATED:20260424T180919Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260424T181138Z UID:10004787-1778241600-1781370000@oaklandartmurmur.org SUMMARY:Charlie Milgrim: Crude Futures DESCRIPTION:Charlie Milgrim\, “Crude Futures”\, 2026\, used motor oil on paper\, 24″x24″x1″\, photo Bri Cheng \nTwenty-five years ago\, in the shadow of the September 11 attacks\, Charlie Milgrim searched for a way to confront the deeper forces fueling global conflict. She turned to the very substance that was a catalyst in those struggles: oil. With a bowling ball as her brush\, she rolled long lines across thick paper with used motor oil\, setting the “landscapes” in motion. Over the decades\, the contaminants in the motor oil slowly seeped outwards\, its unpredictable spread mirroring the drifting\, uncontrollable nature of an oil spill. Time became an important collaborator in the piece\, shaping its quiet but constant transformation.\nNow\, after more than two decades\, the oil has left an indelible stain—much like the omnipresent residue of oil spills that continue to haunt the environment. Despite the rise of renewable energy over these same years\, the politics surrounding oil remain largely unchanged. The work stands as a reflection of that persistence: a grim reminder that the world still grapples with the long shadow of oil dependency\, its consequences rippling through our present day wars. \nBio:\nCharlie Milgrim is a multimedia artist from New York City who moved to the Bay Area to attend the California College of the Arts and later received her MFA from the University of California\, Berkeley. Since then\, she has had solo shows at OK Harris Gallery in New York City; Haines Gallery and Gallery 16 in San Francisco; the Richmond Art Center in Richmond\, CA; and the Oakland Museum. She is active in the Bay Area arts community and exhibits her work at Mercury 20 Gallery in Oakland. \nGallery Hours: Friday and Saturday\, 12 – 5 pm (and by appointment)\nArtists’ Reception and Talk: Saturday\, May 16\, 3 – 5 pm\nOakland Art Murmur / First Friday: Friday\, June 5\, 5 – 9 pm URL:https://oaklandartmurmur.org/event/charlie-milgrim-crude-futures/ LOCATION:Mercury 20 Gallery\, 475 25th Street\, Oakland\, CA\, 94612\, United States CATEGORIES:Ongoing Exhibitions ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://oaklandartmurmur.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Charlie-Milgrim_Curde-Futures-1-Charlie-Milgrim-scaled.jpg GEO:37.804829;-122.272476 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Mercury 20 Gallery 475 25th Street Oakland CA 94612 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=475 25th Street:geo:-122.272476,37.804829 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260508T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260613T170000 DTSTAMP:20260526T014541 CREATED:20260424T181514Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260424T181514Z UID:10004788-1778241600-1781370000@oaklandartmurmur.org SUMMARY:Abby Zhang: Private Weather DESCRIPTION:Abby Zhang\, “It rains inside\,” 2025\, Acrylic and oil on canvas\, 30″ x 24″\, photo courtesy of the artist \nPrivate Weather brings together a new group of paintings by Abby Zhang that explores how thought\, feeling\, and visual memory take form in space.

Rooted in community\, these forms support one another\, flourishing together as a collective force of nature. \nElizabeth Sher’s focus has turned to spirals\, first in rope\, then in wire\, and now in painted and drawn marks. This ongoing series “Spiraling Out of Control” visualizes a shared emotional landscape: the disorientation and instability many of us feel in these uncertain times. Yet within the spiral\, Sher finds a pulse of hope\, a reminder of cycles\, of return\, renewal\, and resilience. \nGallery Hours: Friday and Saturday\, 12 – 5 pm (and by appointment)\nArtists’ Reception: Saturday\, May 16\, 3 – 5 pm\nOakland Art Murmur / First Friday: Friday\, June 5\, 5 – 9 pm URL:https://oaklandartmurmur.org/event/andrea-brewster-tara-esperanza-elizabeth-sher-succulents-spirals-blooms/ LOCATION:Mercury 20 Gallery\, 475 25th Street\, Oakland\, CA\, 94612\, United States CATEGORIES:Ongoing Exhibitions ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://oaklandartmurmur.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/backroom-composite-Elizabeth-Sher-scaled.jpg GEO:37.804829;-122.272476 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Mercury 20 Gallery 475 25th Street Oakland CA 94612 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=475 25th Street:geo:-122.272476,37.804829 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20260516 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20260621 DTSTAMP:20260526T014541 CREATED:20260430T182058Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260501T014717Z UID:10004798-1778889600-1781999999@oaklandartmurmur.org SUMMARY:Familiar Strangers – Devynn Barnes\, Madelyn Covey\, Monica Guillory\, Pamela Mooney\, Jillian Shea\, Julianne Sterling\, & Deirdre White DESCRIPTION:Manna Gallery is excited to present a group exhibition featuring seven Bay Area figurative artists exploring the shifting relationships between memory\, identity\, and image. In a time when identity is constantly performed\, recorded\, and revised\, the exhibition focuses on the unstable space where perception and recollection overlap\, where what we see\, remember\, and share is never entirely fixed. The works embrace a deliberate ambiguity\, reflecting the blur of digital culture\, the fragility of memory\, and the subjectivity of observation. Across their practices\, these artists consider how personal and collective histories are shaped\, obscured\, and reimagined\, inviting viewers to reflect on how images influence the stories we tell about ourselves and one another. \nMay 16 – June 20\, 2026\nArtists’ Reception: Saturday\, May 16\, 2-4 pm\nOakland Art Murmur 20th Anniversary party on 25th St: Saturday\, May 30\nFirst Friday: June 5\, 5-8 pm\nGallery Hours: Saturdays\, 12-5 pm & First Fridays\, 5-8 pm \nAbout the artists:\nDevynn Barnes invites viewers to confront their own narratives\, encouraging a collective awakening\, communal (melanated) homecoming\, and admittance to our interconnected archives. Monica Guillory transforms vintage photographs into layered paintings that hold both the warmth of connection and the fragility of memory. Madelyn Covey paints intimate portraits on found wallpaper\, exploring identity\, domesticity\, and the subtle performances of everyday life. Pamela Mooney reimagines and distorts source imagery\, prompting reflection on how cultural narratives shape perception and future possibilities. Jillian Shea captures nightlife scenes to examine femme visibility\, agency\, and resistance within spaces of looking and being looked at. Julianne Wallace Sterling’s recent paintings transform personal travel photographs into atmospheric\, dreamlike cityscapes where portraiture\, memory\, and imagined light intertwine. Deirdre White constructs poetic\, unsettled worlds where personal memory and collective experience intertwine amid loss\, resilience\, and wonder.

The title Field Notes reflects Ellinwood and Every’s approach to art making: attentive\, provisional\, and deeply rooted in looking.

This show is running Concurrently with Field notes \nGearbox Gallery is pleased to present the 2026 Inner Room juried show winner\, Stan Chan. Chan’s installation of artifacts\, writings and drawings creates an immersive experience that delves into a personal story of remembrance from his childhood in Oakland. This visual reading of objects and colorful bits gives the viewer a glimpse into our local past through the art of Stan Chan. \nChan says\, “Growing up in East Oakland my immigrant parents were able to buy a house in the 1950s. It was a Victorian house and it was my shelter from the outside world. When I was a kid\, I dug holes in the walls and in my mattress where I hid my treasures and through the years things accumulated in the nooks and crannies of the house.” It is from these memories that Chan’s installation of treasure boxes and colorful collages emerge. \nStan Chan\, is an artist living in San Francisco with deep roots in Oakland. Receiving his MA from CCAC\, Chan has shown in many solo and group shows locally and nationally including the Oakland Asian Cultural Center.

Across sculpture\, painting\, and mixed media\, the work reflects making sense of creating amidst the pressure to adapt to a world constantly reshaping itself. \nIt also radiates humor\, sarcasm\, and material pleasure. The stubborn act of making something by hand while much around you feels out of human scale. There is no substitute for the act of making something – as a way to process\, archive\, feel\, and connect. \nThe exhibition invites viewers into that shared space between grief and pleasure\, vulnerability and spectacle — and asks what kind of meaning can still be built from the fragments around us – the scraps of paper or the bric-a-brac at the thrift store. \n Meet the artists during this Oakland Art Murmur First Friday Event!
