Transmission Gallery, Jon Kerpel; Earth Gems – Exhibition

Transmission Gallery presents Jon Kerpel ‘s Earth Gems in our small space gallery.

Recognizing the vital importance of diversity of species as an indicator of the health of our natural world, Kerpel’s sense of design and fine craftsmanship celebrate and elevate animal species as precious jewels. Each occupies a special niche, surrounded by a myriad of wildlife silhouettes interspersed with elegant bead details. Universal symbols radiate a calming symmetry as supporting elements in Kerpel’s totemic pieces.

Showing concurrently in our featured exhibition is M. Mark Bauer: Painting Out of a Corner. Bauer’s colorful and surreal works also addresses the preciousness of our environment though perhaps with much more trepidation and pathos.

Transmission Gallery Oakland is open noon to 5 pm Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, on First Fridays till 8 pm and by appointment. Closed Nov 24/25th, closing at 4 pm December 24th and 31st.
