SUMMARY:Opening Reception and Artist Talk – Abby Zhang: Private Weather
DESCRIPTION:Image: Abby Zhang\, “Caution! Wet Floor”\, 2025\, Acrylic and oil on canvas\, 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. Built through improvisation\, revision\, and accumulation\, these works move between structure and instability\, allowing images to emerge without fully settling. Meaning develops through relation: between marks\, between paintings\, and between the work and the room. The exhibition treats painting as both image and atmosphere\, creating a space charged by tension\, proximity\, and change. Private Weather points to an inner climate made visible\, where perception stays open and everything remains slightly in motion. \nBio:\nAbby Zhang is a Bay Area–based painter whose work explores memory\, perception\, and psychological atmosphere through layered\, semi-abstract images. She received her MFA in Painting from Pratt Institute in 2021\, recently participated as a resident artist at Art Bias\, completed a residency at Kala Art Institute and Vermont Studio Center\, and has been selected for an upcoming residency at the Torrance Art Museum this summer. \nGallery Hours: Friday and Saturday\, 12 – 5 pm (and by appointment)\nOakland Art Murmur / First Friday: Friday\, June 5\, 5 – 9 pm
