Look for the “ART” building at 770 West Grand Ave in Oakland with free street parking along West Grand and the neighborhood south. Also on hand will be artist\, Jeff Dikio\, with new paint chip collage work at Transmission in “This Must Be the Place.” See both shows at Transmission with more artwork in the Office and\, while you’re in the building\, check out Gearbox Gallery just downstairs. \nIn Memento Vivere: Remember to Live\, Sonia Gill’s work invites us into a world where painting is reimagined through paper—where the brushstroke is replaced by the torn edge of a magazine fragment\, and color is discovered rather than mixed. \nBeginning with a photographic reference drawn from her everyday life\, Gill builds her compositions piece by piece through a slow and contemplative process. 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.

The Grand Gallery is excited to announce the opening of Duncan Sherwood-Forbes – Weight of Air. Forbes is a multimedia artist based in Oakland specializing in figurative metalwork. His sculptures have been exhibited at galleries and art fairs both nationally and internationally. His approach to wire is rooted in line drawing. “I use wire to divide air\, treating space itself as the primary medium.” This effect commands your attention as the figures appear to be suspended in mid-thought. The negative space is just as relevant as the wire itself.

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 URL:https://oaklandartmurmur.org/event/opening-reception-and-artist-talk-abby-zhang-private-weather/ LOCATION:Mercury 20 Gallery\, 475 25th Street\, Oakland\, CA\, 94612\, United States CATEGORIES:Artists Talk,Opening Reception ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://oaklandartmurmur.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/1_Zhang_Work-sample_CautionWet-floor-Abby-Zhang-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:20260509T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260509T160000 DTSTAMP:20260527T083228 CREATED:20260501T172932Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260501T172932Z UID:10004800-1778331600-1778342400@oaklandartmurmur.org SUMMARY:WAXWORK DESCRIPTION:WAXWORK- Experimental mono-prints and drawings on paper with cold wax by Denise Owen.\nMay1-31\, 2026 Reception Saturday May 9\, 1-4pm\nStudios11 near beautiful Jack London Square\, 560 2nd Street\, Oakland\, CA URL:https://oaklandartmurmur.org/event/waxwork/ LOCATION:Studios 11\, 560 2nd St Oakland\, California\, Oakland\, CA\, 94607\, United States CATEGORIES:Opening Reception ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://oaklandartmurmur.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Waxwork.jpg GEO:37.804829;-122.272476 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Studios 11 560 2nd St Oakland California Oakland CA 94607 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=560 2nd St Oakland\, California:geo:-122.272476,37.804829 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260516T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260516T140000 DTSTAMP:20260527T083228 CREATED:20260511T194443Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260511T194453Z UID:10004810-1778932800-1778940000@oaklandartmurmur.org SUMMARY:Artist Talk ~ Duncan Sherwood Forbes DESCRIPTION:From paper and pen to wire and air\, Duncan Sherwood-Forbes creates sculpture that uses air as medium. Forbes captures figures in mid-thought\, breathtakingly suspended in time. \nThe Grand Gallery is excited to announce the opening of Duncan Sherwood-Forbes – Weight of Air. Forbes is a multimedia artist based in Oakland specializing in figurative metalwork. His sculptures have been exhibited at galleries and art fairs both nationally and internationally. His approach to wire is rooted in line drawing. “I use wire to divide air\, treating space itself as the primary medium.” This effect commands your attention as the figures appear to be suspended in mid-thought. The negative space is just as relevant as the wire itself. \n“Like contour drawing\, my version of wire sculpture traces boundaries. The core element of sculpture\, that differentiates it from other media\, is the use of mass. My work is an inversion of that tenet: the wire sculptures do not occupy space so much as propose it; they describe form through absence by using material not to depict the subject directly\, but to outline where it would be.” \nThere is so much freedom in Forbes’s work. The lines appear to have been lifted off the page and magically transferred to air. It’s this reassignment of air as medium that makes Forbes’s work a must see.

Free street parking nearby. \nIn Memento Vivere: Remember to Live\, Sonia Gill’s work invites us into a world where painting is reimagined through paper—where the brushstroke is replaced by the torn edge of a magazine fragment\, and color is discovered rather than mixed. Indeed\, Gill often refers to her collages as paintings. Thoughtful of composition and content\, Gill’s imagery emerges through a contemplative process with color drawn from a vast trove of magazine imagery. \nImages pay homage to the daily moments from which our lives are built\, quiet\, repetitive\, and precious as they are. \nCome out to the artist’s talk to hear more from Sonia about her art practice\, philosophy and the development of the figurative work on view at Transmission Gallery. Events are free and open to the public. \nCan’t make the talk? See the work April 23 – June 6\, Thursdays\, Fridays and Saturdays\, 12-5pm and by appointment.

Meet the artists and be among the first to experience this thoughtful exploration of memory\, identity\, and image through contemporary figurative painting. The reception offers an opportunity to connect\, ask questions\, and engage with the work in a lively\, informal setting. \nMay 16 – June 20\, 2026\nArtists’ Reception: Saturday\, May 16\, 2-4 pm\nGallery Hours: Saturdays\, 12-5 pm & First Fridays\, 5-8 pm \nDevynn Barnes is an Oakland-based painter\, visual artist\, and archivist. Through her multi-disciplinary work\, she transforms archival fragments into portals of Afro-surreal conjure\, restoring suppressed Black queer presence and imagining landscapes of collective homecoming. Barnes invites viewers to confront their own narratives\, encouraging a collective awakening\, communal (melanated) homecoming\, and admittance to our interconnected archives. \nMonica Guillory paints from vintage photographs\, transforming fleeting moments of intimacy and joy into layered compositions that mirror the fragility and emotional elasticity of memory—where figures emerge\, dissolve\, and persist through time. \nMadelyn Covey paints portraits of friends and family that examine the performance of identity within intimate\, domestic spaces. Working on found wallpaper\, she builds visual relationships between subject and surface\, creating textured reflections on connection\, care\, and the subtle ways we inhabit our roles. \nPamela Mooney reconfigures found imagery into compositions that are at once familiar and disorienting. Through distortion\, color disruption\, and chance\, her work challenges viewers to unravel embedded meanings while considering the impact our cultural narratives have on the possibilities of the future. \nJillian Shea captures nightlife scenes as sites of tension and agency\, where visibility and performance collide. Her paintings reframe femme presence as active and resistant\, emphasizing camaraderie and autonomy within spaces shaped by the dynamics of looking and being looked at. \nJulianne Wallace Sterling’s recent paintings are inspired by photos she took on vacation with her family. These photos are of cherished memories and travels with loved ones. These paintings begin in an atmospheric location but quickly dive into magical imaginings of place through light\, floral design\, and shadow. Sterling’s work is fundamentally portraiture\, but she has been exploring the figure in the complexity of cityscapes. \nDeirdre White constructs poetic\, often unsteady worlds drawn from memory\, landscape\, and imagination. Her paintings weave personal and collective narratives of life in the American West\, where grief\, wonder\, and resilience coexist within scenes of quiet upheaval.

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)\nOakland Art Murmur / First Friday: Friday\, June 5\, 5 – 9 pm URL:https://oaklandartmurmur.org/event/gustave-carlson-new-american-stillness-2/ LOCATION:Mercury 20 Gallery\, 475 25th Street\, Oakland\, CA\, 94612\, United States CATEGORIES:Artists Talk,Opening Reception ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://oaklandartmurmur.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Inverness-Elevation-Midday-Final-Gustave-Carlson-1.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:20260522T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260522T200000 DTSTAMP:20260527T083228 CREATED:20260428T183652Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260428T183652Z UID:10004797-1779472800-1779480000@oaklandartmurmur.org SUMMARY:Getting the Shot: How Photojournalism Works Today DESCRIPTION:As AI-generated imagery has enabled the mass spreading of misinformation\, the role of photojournalists in documenting reality is more crucial than ever. Yet the economic implosion of the media industry means that there are relatively few full-time positions left\, even at major news outlets. Amidst this challenging landscape\, how are photojournalists adapting to changing technologies\, maintaining their careers\, and covering the stories that deserve to be covered?\nTo answer these questions and more\, East Bay Yesterday host Liam O’Donoghue will be moderating a panel discussion with several Bay Area photojournalists. Expect to hear an illuminating conversation on the ethics\, logistics\, and love of taking pictures for a living. \nFeaturing:\nAmir Aziz\, Bay Nature Documentary Photography Fellow and co-founder of Coyote Media Collective\nCharles Russo\, SF Gate Senior Editor of Photography & Design\nJane Tyska\, East Bay Times/Oakland Tribune photojournalist \nThis event is part of the closing reception for “Visible Labor: The East Bay at Work\,” an exhibition of local photographers on display at Oakland Photo Workshop until May 24\, 2026.

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!
