Each painting begins with a vintage car advertisement\, collaged directly onto the canvas\, \nbefore Erin paints a new and uncertain world around the driver. Where is she going? She may never arrive. And perhaps that is exactly the point. \nEach piece is presented in a vintage frame personally collected and paired by the artist\, making every work a singular and complete object.

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.

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.

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.

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.
