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:Field Notes: Linda Ellinwood / Joy Every\, GearBox Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Field Notes – Linda Ellinwood / Joy Every\nMay 28 – July 3 2026 \nArtists’ Reception: Saturday May 30\, 1 – 4pm.\nArtists’ Talk: Saturday June 13\, 2pm with a reading by author Joanne Furio.\nThis show runs concurrently with The Hidden Treasures of Stan Chan\, GearBox Gallery’s 2026 Inner Room Gallery winner \nGearbox Gallery is pleased to present Field Notes\, an exhibition of new work by Oakland-based artists\, sculptor Linda Ellinwood and mixed-media artist Joy Every on view from May 28 through July 3\, 2026. The title Field Notes reflects Ellinwood and Every’s approach to art making: attentive\, provisional\, and deeply rooted in looking. Like notes taken in the field\, the works operate as records of experience other than conclusions. Familiar forms dissolve into abstraction as images are altered by time\, perception\, and the artists’ hands allowing space for ambiguity and personal reflection.. \nGearBox Gallery\n770 West Grand Avenue\nThursdays – Saturdays noon – 5pm

SUMMARY:The Hidden Treasures of Stan Chan\, GearBox Gallery
DESCRIPTION:The Hidden Treasures of Stan Chan\nMay 26 – July 3 2026\nArtist’s Reception: Saturday\, May 30 1 – 4pm\nArtist’s Talk: Saturday\, June 13\, 2pm with a reading by author Joanne Furio.  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.
