SUMMARY:Sonia Gill: Memento Vivere/Remember to Live
DESCRIPTION:Sonia Gill: Memento Vivere/Remember to Live\nApril 23 – June 6\n____________ \n​Artists’ Reception\nconcurrent with reception for Jeff Dikio: This Must Be the Place\nSaturday\, May 2nd from 1-4 pm \n​Artist’s Talk\nSaturday\, May 16h at 2 pm \nClosing Reception\nSaturday\, June 6th from 1-4 pm \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.

SUMMARY:Wandering Stars: Young Artists’ Portrait Show
DESCRIPTION:An exhibition showcasing OUSD High School students’ artwork. There are four schools represented in this show\, which are: Fremont High\, Skyline High\, Oakland High\, Oakland International\, and Madison Park Academy.\nIdentity\, home\, and the power of unapologetic presence run through this youth portrait exhibition. OUSD artists worked in photography\, digital media\, collage\, and painting—using symbols\, brush strokes\, color\, texture\, and imagination to portray what it means to be Oakland.\nThe evidence is in the details: facial expressions that don’t perform for anyone\, the way they hold their loved ones\, the specific choices that make each portrait theirs.\nRepresentation matters here. These young artists are about to graduate\, about to enter a world outside high school. But first\, they’re making visible what they know about themselves—their beauty\, their identity\, the fact of who they are.\nWandering Stars is a celebration of beauty\, selfhood\, and identity. These artists don’t wait to be seen. They make themselves visible.

SUMMARY:Women in Focus - Closing Weekend
DESCRIPTION:Closing week-end for Women in Focus\, art exhibit by Denise Deleray\, invites you into a thoughtful and quietly powerful exploration of shared humanity at Studios 11. \nThe exhibition features two interconnected elements: a series of painted portraits and an interactive installation of interchangeable\, card-sized facial features representing women from around the world. While the paintings depict serene\, resilient faces shaped by wisdom and lived experience\, the hands-on display encourages visitors to rearrange the pieces themselves—transforming the act of viewing into something more personal and reflective. \nStop by Studios 11 to experience Women in Focus before it closes at the end of the month. \nGallery Hours: Saturday and Sunday 12-5pm or by appointment 510-390-6356

SUMMARY:Jeff Dikio: This Must Be the Place
DESCRIPTION:Jeff Dikio: This Must Be the Place\nApril 30 – June 13\, 2026 \nOpening Reception\, Saturday\, May 2nd\, 1-4 pm. \nIn This Must Be the Place\, Jeff Dikio reflects on the quiet spaces where memory\, environment\, and emotion intersect. 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.

SUMMARY:Open First Friday: Built Different - Gina Gaiser
DESCRIPTION:Built Different is a black-and-white photography series by Gina Gaiser that examines the logic embedded in the urban landscape. Focusing on brickwork\, graffiti\, industrial surfaces\, and architectural grids\, Gaiser isolates fragments of the built environment and reframes them as studies in repetition\, contrast\, and form. Stripped of color\, the images emphasize structure and rhythm\, allowing overlooked details to surface with clarity. When assembled\, the photographs converge into larger visual systems\, revealing order within what might otherwise register as visual noise. Built Different reflects on construction in multiple senses\, of cities\, of environments\, and of perception itself\, proposing that heightened attention to pattern and geometry is not deviation\, but insight. \nApril 3 – May 9\, 2026\nArtist Reception: Saturday\, April 11\, 3-5 pm\nGallery Hours: Saturdays\, 12-5 pm & First Fridays\, April 3 & May 1\, 5-8 pm

SUMMARY:Artist's Reception - Sonia Gill: Memento Vivere / Remember to Live
DESCRIPTION:Sonia Gill: Memento Vivere / Remember to Live\, Artist’s Reception\, Saturday\, May 2nd\, 1-4 pm \nAll are welcome\, please stop by between 1 and 4 pm Saturday\, May 2nd\, to greet the artist\, check out new work in the gallery and enjoy the light refreshments served up on our lovely deck outside (weather permitting). 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.

SUMMARY:Weight of Air - Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:Saturday May 2nd 1-5pm.  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.

SUMMARY:Gustave Carlson: New American Stillness
DESCRIPTION:Gustave Carlson\, “Perry Hill Screened Porch”\, 2026 acrylic and graphite on wood panel\, 18″ x 24″\, photo courtesy of the artist \n“New American Stillness” by Gustave Carlson explores the quiet psychological presence of the contemporary American landscape. 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.

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

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. 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)\nArtists’ Reception and Talk: Saturday\, May 16\, 3 – 5 pm\nOakland Art Murmur / First Friday: Friday\, June 5\, 5 – 9 pm

SUMMARY:Andrea Brewster\, Tara Esperanza\, Elizabeth Sher: Succulents\, Spirals\, Blooms
DESCRIPTION:Left to right: Tara Esperanza\, “Tenderness”\, 2024 acrylic on canvas\, 35” x 24”\, Elizabeth Sher\, “Layered Spiral #e (pink)”\, 2026\, oil\, acrylic and ink on Yupo\, 16” x 14”\, Andrea Brewster\, “Resemblance #2-Peony”\, 2026\, Digital print on aluminum\, 16” x 20”\, Photo courtesy of the artist. \nAndrea Brewster’s work transforms flowers into speculative\, non-biological forms that resemble flora yet are entirely constructed—part specimen\, part apparition. Printed on reflective aluminum\, images shift with light\, offering a quiet\, contemplative experience shaped by the distance between nature and its digital afterimage. \nTara Esperanza’s paintings reflect the quiet resilience of succulents as they adapt\, thrive\, and live in harmony. 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

SUMMARY:Artist’s Talk – Sonia Gill: Memento Vivere / Remember to Live
DESCRIPTION:Sonia Gill: Memento Vivere / Remember to Live\nArtist’s Talk starts at 2 pm – please join us – all are welcome! 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.

SUMMARY:Opening Reception and Artist Talk – Gustave Carlson: New American Stillness
DESCRIPTION:Gustave Carlson\, “Inverness Midday”\, 2026\, photo courtesy of the artist \nNew American Stillness by Gustave Carlson explores the quiet psychological presence of the contemporary American landscape. 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
