SUMMARY:ATMOSPHERIC – Rachel Major & Scott Idleman
DESCRIPTION:770 West Grand Ave\, Oakland\, CA 94612\nContact: info@gearboxgallery.com \nHomepage \n(510) 271-0822\nGallery Hours: Thursdays-Saturdays\, 12-5 pm and by appointment \nMarch 5 to April 11\, 2026\nArtists’ Reception: Saturday\, March 14\, 1-4 pm\nArtists’ Talk: Saturday\, April 11\, 2 pm \nGearbox Gallery is pleased to present Atmospheric\, a two-person exhibition featuring new\nwork by San Francisco–based artists Rachel Major and Scott Idleman. Though visually distinct\,\ntheir practices converge around shared concerns of process\, perception\, and the dynamic\nrelationship between structure and spontaneity.\nRachel’s paintings are created through a process of dripping paint onto canvas\, resulting in\nrichly layered surfaces that explore texture\, color\, and the balance between control and\nchance. The series is inspired by her daily encounters with the landscape surrounding her\nhome in San Francisco’s Richmond District—a quiet\, often fog-laden neighborhood bordered\nby Golden Gate Park\, the Presidio\, and Ocean Beach. Her work reflects the shifting moods of\nthis coastal environment\, particularly the San Francisco Bay\, the Marin Headlands\, and the\nGolden Gate Bridge as they emerge and recede through fog. The recurring acts of covering\nand revealing in these paintings echo the rhythms of the landscape itself.\nScott Idleman’s work similarly inhabits a space between intention and intuition. His grid-based\ndot series celebrates intersections: science and art\, nostalgia and futurity\, the organic and the\nartificial\, isolation and community. Drawing from his family’s heritage of textile-making\, Idleman\nmerges meticulous patterning with imagined skyscapes and aerial perspectives—an enduring\nfascination shaped by the view from above. Based in San Francisco’s Mission District\, his\npractice is informed by the neighborhood’s vibrant energy and colorful mural culture\, translating\nurban vitality into structured yet atmospheric compositions.\nTogether\, the works in Atmospheric offer a meditation on place\, process\, and\nperception—inviting viewers to consider how environment\, memory\, and material intersect to\nshape visual experience.\nAll are welcome to join us for Atmospheric events! Please join us for the Artists’ Reception\,\nSaturday March 14th. Stop in any time between 1 and 4 pm to greet the artists\, enjoy the light\nrefreshments and check out the artwork 1-4 pm. If you’re curious to learn more about the\nartists and their work come out for the Artists’ Talk\, starting at 2 pm Saturday April 11th as\nRachel and Scott discuss their themes\, ideas and processes. Bring your questions! \nMore About Rachel Major\nOriginally from Toronto\, Canada\, Rachel is a graduate of The Ontario College of Art and Design\n(OCAD) as well as the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design (NSCAD) and received an MFA\nfrom Mills College in Oakland. Rachel has been living and working in San Francisco since 1994.\nIn her work Rachel explores our complex and often fraught relationship with food using a\nvariety of media including sculpture\, painting\, and photography. Her work has been exhibited in\nCanada\, France and the U.S. In September 2016 she was selected as an Emerging Artist at\nMarinMOCA in Novato\, California. Rachel works with San Francisco Art Education Project\,\nLEAP as well as SFUSD teaching art to children in San Francisco public schools.\nMore About Scott Idleman\nIdleman received a B.F.A. from the Kansas City Art Institute in graphic design with minors in\nfibers\, painting and photography. He implements a visual language of simple mark-making to\nconvey impressions of moods and dreams as a form of meditation to connect with others and\nself.

SUMMARY:Frank D. Cole: The House Inside
DESCRIPTION:Gallery Hours: Thursdays\, Fridays and Saturdays\, 12 – 5 pm\, and by appointment\nOpening Reception: Saturday March 14th\, 1-4 pm\nArtist’s Talk: April 18\, starting at 2 pm \nTransmission Gallery is pleased to present The House Inside\, recent paintings by East Bay painter\, Frank D. Cole.  \nWorking from his West Oakland studio\, Frank Cole paints from a distance\, both geographic and temporal. His large-scale works emerge from reflections on his childhood in Mississippi\, with landscape\, weather\, and architecture forming an enduring visual vocabulary. In this work\, Mississippi becomes less a fixed geography than a felt condition\, a stand-in for memory and connection\, suspended between clarity and dream.  \nFramed by porches\, window casings\, and thresholds\, Cole’s paintings position the viewer in an interior space\, looking outward. Beams\, panes\, and floorboards divide and measure the picture plane acting as armatures for recollection\, holding in place fleeting impressions of light on water\, wind through tall grass\, or rain dissolving a stand of trees. The result is both architectural and narrative\, emerging as quiet meditations on place and time\, imbued with reverie and longing.  \nThe paintings carry a subtle tension between shelter and exposure\, presence and absence. No figures occupy these interiors; instead\, the viewer becomes the inhabitant. The threshold functions as a metaphor for memory–a point where the past remains visible yet inaccessible.  \nAccompanying the larger canvases\, small preparatory studies reveal the evolution of each composition. In these pieces\, Cole tests structure\, color temperature\, and atmosphere. The studies function as concentrated meditations—intimate works where gesture and light are first explored before expanding into the larger paintings. \nWhile rooted in a specific place\, these recollections resonate beyond their origin\, becoming a point of departure for a broader exploration of early embodied experience – how light filled a certain room\, the rhythm of rain on a roof\, the view framed by a familiar window. Through carefully constructed interiors and expansive vistas\, Frank Cole transforms personal memory into a contemplative space others can inhabit.

SUMMARY:Andrea Guskin: Signals Beneath The Surface
DESCRIPTION:The networks beneath our forest floors—where tree roots and mycorrhizal fungi share sustenance and signals through intertwined subterranean paths—served as a source of inspiration for Andrea Guskin’s exhibition\, Signals Beneath the Surface. This new work continues her exploration of scientific discovery as a metaphor\, using metal paintings and photographic processes to investigate themes of ancestry\, memory\, and interconnection.\nThread\, found objects\, and imprints of Guskin’s body on the metal paintings translate concealed activity into form\, mapping the connections that sustain life below ground and above it.\nWithin this exhibition\, she presents work from her recent project Local Roots\, a photo-based community arts project centered on ancestral relationships to herbs and spices\, and a new site-specific collaborative installation created with local artists Courtney Griffith and Yaminah Abdur-Rahim. \nBio:\nAndrea Guskin is a San Francisco Bay Area based artist working across the disciplines of photography\, sculpture\, and painting. She began drawing by pillaging her father’s office supplies for fine-tipped pens and yellow legal pads\, filling them with figures while lounging on a 1970s shag carpet in Kenosha\, Wisconsin. After studying painting at Antioch College in Ohio\, Guskin moved to New York City and became a part of the arts community on the Lower East Side. Since moving to the Bay Area in 2003\, she has exhibited her work throughout the state\, including at the Richmond Art Center\, BerkeleyArt Center\, and Red Poppy Art House.She graduated with an MFA in Interdisciplinary Arts from Mills College at Northeastern University in April of 2023. Guskin lives in San Leandro with her husband and two sons. \nGallery Hours: Friday and Saturday\, 12 – 5 pm (and by appointment)\nArtists’ Reception: Saturday\, April 11\, 3 – 5 pm\nOakland Art Murmur / First Friday: Friday\, April 3\, May 1\, 5 – 9 pm\nJoin Andrea Guskin in a participatory activity centered around ancestry on First Friday\, April 3\, 6:30-7:30 pm \nImage: Andrea Guskin\, “Radial Expansion\,” Acrylic paint on Cinefoil\, 2026\, photo courtesy of the artist

SUMMARY:Alec Marin: All That You Change/Changes You
DESCRIPTION:All That You Change/Changes You is a collection of work centered around Alec Marin’s life: painter\, scientist\, and Chicano from the South Texas border. Each piece is an exploration of some dimension of his varied interests and lived experience\, from the perceptual distortions that occur during the phases of intoxication to the hidden reality of racial and economic segregation along the Mexican American border. Recent work focuses on his read of the foundational principles of Mexica (Aztec) philosophy\, their symbols and spiritual practices within a contemporary framework. His two latest paintings build upon this by framing the images as the prophetic dreams of an ancestor whose life and works would catalyze the culture and religion of the Mexica people.\n\nBio:\nAlec Marin is an artist and neuroscientist based in Oakland\, California. His work has been published at knowingneurons.com and “The Beat\,” an art and literature journal published by The David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. His work has been exhibited at the Fremont Art Association’s Annual Art Show; “Beyond Boundaries\,” a juried exhibition at the Mercury 20 Gallery; and “Ripples” group exhibition at the UCSF School of Law. \nGallery Hours: Friday and Saturday\, 12 – 5 pm (and by appointment)\nArtists’ Reception: Saturday\, April 11\, 3 – 5 pm\nOakland Art Murmur / First Friday: Friday\, April 3\, May 1\, 5 – 9 pm \nImage: Alec Marin\, “Momentary Condensations of Teotl\,” Oil on Canvas\, 28″x22″\, 2024\, photo courtesy of the artist

SUMMARY:Leigh Barbier\, Jessika Cadkin\, Laura Malone\, Christine Meuris: Material Differences
DESCRIPTION:The four artists featured in Material Differences work in painting\, sculpture\, and weaving. Considered together\, their works draw attention to the ways texture\, material choice\, and scale shape the dynamics of the exhibition.\nLeigh Barbier’s series Under the Influence features ceramic heads informed by her intuitive drawing process: pieces created during moments of inspiration\, anxiety\, or relief. They capture glimpses of an idea\, feeling\, or dream; fragments of her imagination.\nJessica Cadkin’s sculpture\, Cavity\, depicts a large‑scale molar\, reflecting a lifelong fascination with her teeth and her aversion to dentist visits. Her work explores the tension between attraction and repulsion\, presenting the tooth as something both familiar and unsettling.\nExamining human subjectivity\, Laura Malone’s paintings traverse a range of emotional landscapes. From jubilant bursts of vermilion in one piece to gentle splashes of gray in another\, Malone invites viewers to gambol here\, only to rest in stillness there.\nChristine Meuris’s pieces are examples of overshot weaving\, in which a contrasting pattern thread is interwoven with the structural plain weave threads; and the process of inlay\, in which areas of pattern are placed only where the weaver wants them. For Meuris\, making them was an experiment in layering structures of form and pattern. \nGallery Hours: Friday and Saturday\, 12 – 5 pm (and by appointment)\nArtists’ Reception: Saturday\, April 11\, 3 – 5 pm\nOakland Art Murmur / First Friday: Friday\, April 3\, May 1\, 5 – 9 pm \nImage: Left to right\, Laura Malone\, Fire Season\, Oil on Linen\, 40″x40″\, 2026; Christine Meuris\, Balance\, Woven Cotton\, 2 panels at 48″x19″ each\, 2024; Leigh Barbier\, Under the Influence (WIP)\, Ceramics\, 5″x5″x3″\, 2026; all photos courtesy of the artists
