SUMMARY:Artist Talks: Present Figures – Curated by Laura Malone
DESCRIPTION:Laura Malone\, Carnivale\, Oil on Linen\, 60” x 48”\, 2021\, Photo courtesy of the artist \nPresent Figures brings together five California painters whose works exist within the figurative language of portraiture\, simultaneously expanding and disrupting it. Centered around themes of intimacy\, boundaries\, and embodied emotion\, each artist takes an individual approach to media\, scale\, and the capacity of the human form to be both a site of identity and a vessel of metaphor. Engaging in profound considerations of what it is to be human—our physicality\, sense of self\, relationships\, consciousness\, and creativity\, these artists invite us to engage with these shifting\, eternal questions and reflect on our own experiences—be they practical\, peaceful\, disturbing\, humorous\, fragmented\, spiritual\, or otherworldly. As individuals\, choices that begin with who and what to portray later manifest in stylistic and material communiquès that boldly and poetically reveal themselves to the world. Collectively\, the psychologically charged spectrum of the group reminds us of the myriad ways our sentience can be narrated. Like Anais Nin said\, “We don’t see things as they are\, we see them as we are.” \nBio:\nWith Present Figures\, Laura Malone expands her practice to curation. Malone invited four artists to show alongside her\, chosen for their unique and diverse approaches to representing the figure: two Southern California artists — Cindy Craig and Shannon Rae Fincke — and two from the Bay Area — Nina Katz and Heidi Brueckner. Collectively their work has been shown across the globe in Europe\, Asia\, and the United States. Malone’s artwork was featured in The Crocker Kingsley National Art Competition and included in “Disrupted Realism\,” juried by John Seed\, who wrote the book of the same name. Malone currently resides in Oakland\, CA and has been a member of Mercury 20 since 2023. \nGallery Hours: Friday and Saturday\, 12 – 5 pm (and by appointment)\nOpening Reception: Saturday\, September 12\, 3 – 5 pm\nOakland Art Murmur / First Friday: October 2\, 5 – 9 pm

SUMMARY:Angela Johal: Intersecting Colour
DESCRIPTION:Join us at SLATE Contemporary Gallery on Saturday\, October 10 from 4-6pm for an artist reception in celebration of our newest exhibition\, “Angela Johal: Intersecting Colour.” \nThis exhibition invites viewers to explore how hue and tone interact across vividly painted color fields. Johal approaches each painting as a puzzle to solve\, seeking balance among dichotomous realms—physical and spiritual\, light and dark\, vivid and subdued—creating compositions that reveal how each color shifts\, responds to\, and is transformed by those around it. Steeped in color theory\, Johal’s work is deeply informed by the human eye’s natural passage through dimension. This exhibition features abstracted geometric compositions that\, when meditated on\, transform into natural landscapes\, animal-like forms\, and shifting light.

SUMMARY:UNTOLD STORIES Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:What story gets left behind when the world decides whose memory counts? Untold Stories is our attempt to connect the dots\, to trigger the memories that complete what’s been erased. \nAs truth seekers from many different walks of life\, we’ve made this exhibition a space to hold the true stories so often erased by a system that does not honor immigrants\, refugees\, Black Americans\, queer folks\, and those who carry the truth close. \nThis exhibition allows us to rest in the rememory that Toni Morrison left us in the pages of the untold stories she once uncovered. “Untold Stories” is our dedication to that work\, as ARTogether’s 2026 Artist-in-Residence Mentorship Cohort: Aylin Ayee\, Bronche Taylor\, Donny Phan\, Jacquie Verbal\, Ji Young Lee\, Kia Lat\, Sabri Tunca\, and Tea Sherman. \nOur work spans mixed media\, painting\, textile art\, installation\, and performance\, holding space for the stories that have not yet been told. We invite you to join us in dialogue about Untold Stories. \n**Everything related to this exhibition is fueled by human creativity; no artificial intelligence is condoned.

SUMMARY:Artist Talk: Material As Witness
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an artist talk for Material As Witness\, curated by Rena Tom. This exhibit explores the photograph as object\, with its own material sensibility and narrative. The artists in the exhibition engage in image-making\, in a truly hands-on sense\, to subvert (or amplify) the power attributed to photos as documentary evidence and bearers of truth. \nThe talk will begin around 6:30\, with time for a Q&A after!
