Artists’ Reception is Saturday\, April 25\, 1 – 4pm. \n“Edges of Attention” brings together the work of Javier Arizmendi-Kalb and Susana Arias in a shared exploration of structure\, gesture\, and the threshold between control and intuition. Across painting and sculpture\, the exhibition engages in a spatial dialogue where perception shifts—where what is seen directly is only part of what is felt. \nArizmendi-Kalb’s large-scale paintings\, each rising to six feet in height\, operate as immersive environments rather than images\, occupying space with both physical authority and emotional immediacy. Suggesting refracted light and architectural spaces\, planes of color\, linear scaffolding\, and gestural marks collide and cohere\, hovering between construction and improvisation. \nIn conversation with these expansive canvases\, ceramic sculptures from Susana Arias’ Tree Series rise from four to over six feet tall. These works do not depict trees; they extract their presence. Minimal yet grounded\, they quietly shape and divide the surrounding space while rings\, joints\, and variations in surface suggest time embedded within the material\, evoking cycles of growth without literal narrative. \nGearBox Gallery: 770 West Grand Ave\, Oakland.\nGallery hours: Noon to 5pm Thursdays\, Fridays and Saturdays URL:https://oaklandartmurmur.org/event/edges-of-attention/ LOCATION:Gearbox Gallery\, 770 West Grand Avenue\, Oakland\, CA\, 94612\, United States CATEGORIES:Ongoing Exhibitions ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://oaklandartmurmur.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/IMG_2508-1.jpeg ORGANIZER;CN="Gearbox Gallery":MAILTO:info@gearboxgallery.com GEO:37.804829;-122.272476 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Gearbox Gallery 770 West Grand Avenue Oakland CA 94612 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=770 West Grand Avenue:geo:-122.272476,37.804829 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260423T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260606T170000 DTSTAMP:20260411T235223Z CREATED:20260411T235223Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260411T235223Z UID:10004771-1776945600-1780765200@oaklandartmurmur.org 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.

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.

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.

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 URL:https://oaklandartmurmur.org/event/abby-zhang-private-weather/ LOCATION:Mercury 20 Gallery\, 475 25th Street\, Oakland\, CA\, 94612\, United States CATEGORIES:Ongoing Exhibitions ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://oaklandartmurmur.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Zhang_Abby_2-.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Mercury 20 Gallery":MAILTO:mercurytwenty@gmail.com 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:20260508T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260613T170000 DTSTAMP:20260424T181138Z CREATED:20260424T180919Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260424T181138Z UID:10004787-1778241600-1781370000@oaklandartmurmur.org 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 URL:https://oaklandartmurmur.org/event/charlie-milgrim-crude-futures/ LOCATION:Mercury 20 Gallery\, 475 25th Street\, Oakland\, CA\, 94612\, United States CATEGORIES:Ongoing Exhibitions ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://oaklandartmurmur.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Charlie-Milgrim_Curde-Futures-1-Charlie-Milgrim-scaled.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Mercury 20 Gallery":MAILTO:mercurytwenty@gmail.com 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:20260508T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260613T170000 DTSTAMP:20260424T181035Z CREATED:20260424T180240Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260424T181035Z UID:10004786-1778241600-1781370000@oaklandartmurmur.org 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. 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)\nArtists’ Reception and Talk: Saturday\, May 16\, 3 – 5 pm\nOakland Art Murmur / First Friday: Friday\, June 5\, 5 – 9 pm URL:https://oaklandartmurmur.org/event/gustave-carlson-new-american-stillness/ LOCATION:Mercury 20 Gallery\, 475 25th Street\, Oakland\, CA\, 94612\, United States CATEGORIES:Ongoing Exhibitions ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://oaklandartmurmur.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Perry-Hill-Screen-Porch-Final-Gustave-Carlson-scaled.jpeg ORGANIZER;CN="Mercury 20 Gallery":MAILTO:mercurytwenty@gmail.com 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:20260508T123000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260613T170000 DTSTAMP:20260425T155929Z CREATED:20260425T155211Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260425T155929Z UID:10004790-1778243400-1781370000@oaklandartmurmur.org 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 URL:https://oaklandartmurmur.org/event/andrea-brewster-tara-esperanza-elizabeth-sher-succulents-spirals-blooms/ LOCATION:Mercury 20 Gallery\, 475 25th Street\, Oakland\, CA\, 94612\, United States CATEGORIES:Ongoing Exhibitions ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://oaklandartmurmur.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/backroom-composite-Elizabeth-Sher-scaled.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Mercury 20 Gallery":MAILTO:mercurytwenty@gmail.com 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;VALUE=DATE:20260516 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20260621 DTSTAMP:20260501T014717Z CREATED:20260430T182058Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260501T014717Z UID:10004798-1778889600-1781999999@oaklandartmurmur.org SUMMARY:Familiar Strangers – Devynn Barnes\, Madelyn Covey\, Monica Guillory\, Pamela Mooney\, Jillian Shea\, Julianne Sterling\, & Deirdre White DESCRIPTION:Manna Gallery is excited to present a group exhibition featuring seven Bay Area figurative artists exploring the shifting relationships between memory\, identity\, and image. In a time when identity is constantly performed\, recorded\, and revised\, the exhibition focuses on the unstable space where perception and recollection overlap\, where what we see\, remember\, and share is never entirely fixed. The works embrace a deliberate ambiguity\, reflecting the blur of digital culture\, the fragility of memory\, and the subjectivity of observation. Across their practices\, these artists consider how personal and collective histories are shaped\, obscured\, and reimagined\, inviting viewers to reflect on how images influence the stories we tell about ourselves and one another. \nMay 16 – June 20\, 2026\nArtists’ Reception: Saturday\, May 16\, 2-4 pm\nOakland Art Murmur 20th Anniversary party on 25th St: Saturday\, May 30\nFirst Friday: June 5\, 5-8 pm\nGallery Hours: Saturdays\, 12-5 pm & First Fridays\, 5-8 pm \nAbout the artists:\nDevynn Barnes invites viewers to confront their own narratives\, encouraging a collective awakening\, communal (melanated) homecoming\, and admittance to our interconnected archives. Monica Guillory transforms vintage photographs into layered paintings that hold both the warmth of connection and the fragility of memory. Madelyn Covey paints intimate portraits on found wallpaper\, exploring identity\, domesticity\, and the subtle performances of everyday life. Pamela Mooney reimagines and distorts source imagery\, prompting reflection on how cultural narratives shape perception and future possibilities. Jillian Shea captures nightlife scenes to examine femme visibility\, agency\, and resistance within spaces of looking and being looked at. Julianne Wallace Sterling’s recent paintings transform personal travel photographs into atmospheric\, dreamlike cityscapes where portraiture\, memory\, and imagined light intertwine. Deirdre White constructs poetic\, unsettled worlds where personal memory and collective experience intertwine amid loss\, resilience\, and wonder.

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.

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!

Furio will also be moderating the talk. Join in on the lively conversation on Saturday\, June 13th\, 2pm \nAbout Linda Ellinwood:\nEllinwood’s sculptures are created completely from found natural materials. Each one is unexpected\, yet simple and evocative. It is evident that she has been working with these materials for many years\, developing a vocabulary \,building up a library of materials\, landscapes from which to cull; a lifetime of looking\, noticing and delighting in natural forms. Ellinwood’s creations are elegant in their simplicity yet manage to elicit an emotional response: delight\, humor\, contemplation\, disinterest. She has exhibited nationally\, her work is included incollections throughout the United States. She lives and works in Oakland. \nAbout Joy Every:\nJoy Every presents a series of photography-based mixed media works that emerge from direct observation of the natural world. Beginning with photographic impressions of landscape\, light\, and atmosphere\, her process unfolds through intuitive layering\, abstraction\, and mark making. These works do not document place\, but instead trace what lingers in the space between representation and memory\, where landscapes become internalized and reimagined. Through subtle shifts in color\, texture\, and light \,the work evokes horizons\, skies\, and terrain that feel at once recognizable and elusive—shaped as much by feeling as by geography. \n“Joy Every’s latest mixed media works on paper continue her exploration of the natural world through an intimate\, tactile lens. Embroidery introduces a measured\, meditative pace\, where each stitch becomes an act of reverence. The works feel simultaneously fragile and immersive\, inviting a closer exploration.”-Lori Austin\,Owner/Curator of Lori Austin Gallery\, Healdsburg\, CA \nJoy Every has exhibited nationally\, and internationally. Her work is included in public and private collections across the United States. including the Security and Exchange Commission and Embassy of Peru. She lives and works in Oakland \,California.

Ordinary spaces become contemplative sites suspended between memory and presence\, inside and outside. Using simplified forms and atmospheric light\, the work reflects on home\, nostalgia\, and the emotional resonance embedded within the contemporary American landscape. \nLeah Korican’s works on paper reside on the threshold of memory. She uses images from childhood stories and ancient glass bottles to express the way memories endure—elusive yet persistent. \nIn this series of paintings\, Alec Marin reimagines scenes from his native South Texas. He centers the people\, who\, in reshaping themselves and their environment\, confront the economic and political forces that seek to control their lives. \nGallery Hours: Friday and Saturday\, 12 – 5 pm (and by appointment)\nArtists’ Opening Reception: Saturday\, June 27\, 3 – 5 pm\nOakland Art Murmur / First Friday: Friday\, July 3\, 5 – 9 pm URL:https://oaklandartmurmur.org/event/gustave-carlson-leah-korican-alec-marin-thresholds-the-backroom-gallery/ LOCATION:Mercury 20 Gallery\, 475 25th Street\, Oakland\, CA\, 94612\, United States CATEGORIES:Ongoing Exhibitions ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://oaklandartmurmur.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/1.-Backroom-Show_Composite-Image_Screenshot_Leah-Korican.png ORGANIZER;CN="Mercury 20 Gallery":MAILTO:mercurytwenty@gmail.com 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:20260619T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260725T170000 DTSTAMP:20260529T002046Z CREATED:20260529T002046Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260529T002046Z UID:10005005-1781870400-1784998800@oaklandartmurmur.org SUMMARY:Emily Shepard: In Flux DESCRIPTION:Emily Shepard\, “Boundless\,” 2026\, acrylic\, ink\, graphite\, thread\, on unstretched canvas\, 72″ x 84″\, photo by Sibila Savage \nEmily Shepard’s large-scale abstract paintings pull viewers into an immersive\, otherworldly space — one of shifting depths\, interacting layers\, and arched forms that float like portals above restless water. Working on unstretched canvas\, she builds richly textured surfaces through gestural mark-making\, watery drips\, and stitched canvas shapes. Indecipherable loops of script speak to rhythm\, breath\, and cycles.\nShepard’s work is mirrored by her practice as a year round swimmer in the San Francisco Bay: moving her body through cold water\, attuned to tides and currents\, releasing into the hypnotic push and pull. Her painting practice and bay swimming share the need for focused attention\, awareness of sensation\, and internal states. Each artwork\, like each swim\, is a search for wholeness\, presence\, and embodied learning. \nBio:\nEmily Shepard is a Bay Area painter\, born in Boston\, Massachusetts. She earned her MFA with distinction from the California College of the Arts where she received the Barclay Simpson Award. She has shown her work locally and nationally\, including the Crocker–Kingsley Exhibition at the Crocker Art Museum in Sacramento. Currently she has three pieces on exhibit in “Voices without Boundaries” at the Sasse Museum of Art in Pomona\, CA. Shepard is a Kipaipai Fellow and member of the artist-run gallery\, Mercury 20 in Oakland\, CA. Her work is included in private and corporate collections. Shepard swims year round without a wetsuit in the San Francisco Bay. The practice of cold-water swimming focuses her senses\, challenges her will\, and informs her art. \nGallery Hours: Friday and Saturday\, 12 – 5 pm (and by appointment)\nArtists’ Opening Reception: Saturday\, June 27\, 3 – 5 pm\nArtists’ Closing Reception and Talk: Saturday\, July 25\, 3 – 5 pm\nOakland Art Murmur / First Friday: Friday\, July 3\, 5 – 9 pm URL:https://oaklandartmurmur.org/event/emily-shepard-in-flux/ LOCATION:Mercury 20 Gallery\, 475 25th Street\, Oakland\, CA\, 94612\, United States CATEGORIES:Ongoing Exhibitions ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://oaklandartmurmur.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/1.-Emily-Shepard_Boundless__72-x-84_2026_sml-The-Graphic-Distillery.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Mercury 20 Gallery":MAILTO:mercurytwenty@gmail.com 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:20260619T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260725T170000 DTSTAMP:20260528T205959Z CREATED:20260528T205550Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260528T205959Z UID:10005002-1781870400-1784998800@oaklandartmurmur.org SUMMARY:Pat O’Connor: Reclaimed DESCRIPTION:Pat O’Connor\, “Orange Skies Day\, 9/9/2020\,” 2026\, 61″ x 92″\, photo Jeanne O’Connor \nPat O’Connor’s work has long explored the intersection of object\, time\, and narrative. Beginning with paper pulp castings over structures at a former World War II naval base\, O’Connor developed a sustained interest in materials marked by history. In her exhibit\, Reclaimed\, she is drawn to surfaces shaped by wear\, weather\, and works with cardboard salvaged from the streets\, recycling bins\, and packaging. Through folding\, layering\, stitching\, printing\, and painting\, she transforms these fragments and other seemingly incongruent materials into richly layered assemblages. Guided by shifts in patina and form\, O’Connor builds surfaces dense with histories\, lush harmonies\, and active surfaces. Cardboard\, humble and impermanent\, originates from trees. O’Connor links the material back to the natural world. In some works\, she introduces imagery of branches and tree forms\, creating both calm and unsettling dialogues between the material’s fragile present and its living origin. In a culture shaped by disposability\, O’Connor elevates overlooked materials\, inviting viewers to sense the stories embedded in ordinary things as well as imagine ways the industrial and natural worlds might endure together. \nBio:\nPat O’Connor is an artist whose practice spans drawing\, painting\, assemblage\, and site-responsive sculpture. Her work has been exhibited widely\, most recently at the de Young Museum in San Francisco\, Transmission Gallery in Oakland\, the Sasse Museum of Art in Pomona\, California\, and O’Hanlon Center for the Arts in Mill Valley. Her pieces are held in public and private collections\, including a public commission at the University of California\, San Francisco Medical Center. Pat received her BA in Painting and Drawing from UC Davis and pursued graduate study in textile arts at San Francisco State University. Honors include a San Francisco Foundation Grant\, the Robert Rauschenberg-hosted Power of Art Award from the Lab School of Washington\, D.C.\, and the Arts Educator of the Year Award from the San Francisco Unified School District. O’Connor has taught widely at notable institutions\, including San Francisco State University\, UC Berkeley Extension\, and the de Young Museum. \nGallery Hours: Friday and Saturday\, 12 – 5 pm (and by appointment)\nArtists’ Opening Reception: Saturday\, June 27\, 3 – 5 pm\nArtists’ Closing Reception and Talk: Saturday\, July 25\, 3 – 5 pm\nOakland Art Murmur / First Friday: Friday\, July 3\, 5 – 9 pm URL:https://oaklandartmurmur.org/event/pat-oconnor-reclaimed/ LOCATION:Mercury 20 Gallery\, 475 25th Street\, Oakland\, CA\, 94612\, United States CATEGORIES:Ongoing Exhibitions ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://oaklandartmurmur.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/OConnor_Pat_-Orange-Skies-Day-scaled.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Mercury 20 Gallery":MAILTO:mercurytwenty@gmail.com 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:20260703T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260829T170000 DTSTAMP:20260706T221602Z CREATED:20260706T221559Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260706T221602Z UID:10005227-1783065600-1788022800@oaklandartmurmur.org SUMMARY:JULY-AUGUST\, 2026 --- MULTI-ARTIST SHOW DESCRIPTION:Join us in welcoming three local artists to Art@Archer.

Mark Bauer: THE\, THE DESCRIPTION:Through July 25th \nArtist’s Talk\nSaturday\, July 18th\, starting at 1 pm \nGallery Hours: Thursdays\, Fridays\, and Saturdays\, 12 – 5 pm \nTransmission Gallery is pleased to present M. Mark Bauer’s work in THE\, THE\, on view through July 25th in the Small Space. \nWhat the ? \nWhat does it mean? Where DO we stand? \n​Mixed messages\, absurd scenarios\, improbable unrealities – M. Mark Bauer wades into dynamic narratives and an onslaught of incomprehensible untruths\, pervasive and invasive\, redirecting the course of events and outcome potentials at hand. Mesmerizing rhythmic patterns groove in undulating serenity as wildly complex scenarios unfold in the eight canvases on view. Hybrid creatures and colorful characters cavort in a surreal concoction that speaks to the consequences of our collective insanity on each other and the natural world while sly humor entertains with bursts of sudden recognition. The Artist observes as Eye-hook\, Snake Tongue\, Bo Peep and a Sheep and The Big Bad Wolf join in this precisely executed spectacle of chaos.

July 9 – August 15th. Blythe and Fresco share a similar journey of immigration\, the experience of which is ingrained in the process as well as the imagery of their work. Whether it’s personal items compiled into cultural forms or from memories carried across great distances\, past or present. \nDalit’s paintings draw personal memories from both real and imagined occurrences\, translating them into undeniable emotional views. Her investigations move from inward outward\, and from the specific towards wholeness. There is a longing that is inherently seeking cover\, shelter\, and solid ground. \nJan is unearthing similar longings by compiling\, assembling\, and weaving with both personal and found objects. These materials are seemingly mundane yet gain a new life\, form and meaning under her hands. The dialogue between the painted surfaces and the objects is synchronized in a shared language\, rhythm\, and symbol. \nGearbox Gallery is open Thursdays\, Fridays and Saturdays 12 – 5pm URL:https://oaklandartmurmur.org/event/fragments-of-belonging-at-gearbox-gallery/ LOCATION:Gearbox Gallery\, 770 West Grand Avenue\, Oakland\, CA\, 94612\, United States CATEGORIES:Ongoing Exhibitions ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://oaklandartmurmur.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/IMG_2771.jpeg GEO:37.804829;-122.272476 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Gearbox Gallery 770 West Grand Avenue Oakland CA 94612 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=770 West Grand Avenue:geo:-122.272476,37.804829 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260710T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260710T210000 DTSTAMP:20260706T222346Z CREATED:20260706T222346Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260706T222346Z UID:10005228-1783706400-1783717200@oaklandartmurmur.org SUMMARY:"SECOND FRIDAY" OPENING -- July-August Multi-Artist Show DESCRIPTION:We hope you can join us for the delayed opening (due to the holiday) of our current multi-artist show.
