SUMMARY:Paul Thompson’s “West Wild: American Culture”
DESCRIPTION:For October/November FM Oakland is excited to host the recent works by local Berkeley native Paul Thompson in his latest collection entitled “West Wild: American Culture.” Thompson’s work focuses on the romance and excitement of the wild west as he plays with paint\, line\, brushwork\, and composition to depict various scenes and portraits. His imagery highlights a range of cowboy life\, as it shows the somber loneliness of ranching\, to the rowdy and rough “fight or die” culture of bar fights and shootouts. Within that range one underlying aspect remains: his love for the wild west. \nPaul Thompson: Life of a Cowboy\n“I always played cowboys and indians with my brother as a kid \, and our father loved westerns. He would often play with us and eventually lived in the middle of the Nevada desert. We fantasized being cowboys and when we went to Nevada\, I enjoyed meeting real cowboys. It is still romantic and engaging to visit old western towns and imagine living as one. As an adult\, I took a tour of old western towns dressed as a cowboy. My mother used to draw with us and encouraged us to draw things that we imagined\, so I have been drawing and painting western themes ever since. I don’t make art for money. It is my therapy and as my mother says\, we share a healthy addiction.”  \nOctober 2nd – November 28th\, 2026

SUMMARY:Tiffany Schmierer: Aggregate Vision
DESCRIPTION:Tiffany Schmierer: Aggregate Vision\nNovember 5 – January 9\, 2027\n​(Closed Nov 26-28\, Dec 23 – Jan 2)​ \nArtist’s Reception: Saturday\, Nov 14th\, 1-4 pm\nStop by to greet the artist and enjoy the light refreshments with real people at a real place at a real time. \nArtist’s Talk: Saturday\, December 5th\, starting at 2 pm \nTransmission Gallery is pleased to present Aggregate Vision\, a solo exhibition of recent work by Tiffany Schmierer in the Small Space of the gallery\, at the top of the stairs. \nSchmierer’s ceramic sculptures bring together an intricate vocabulary of color\, pattern\, texture\, and form. Constructed from interlocking shapes and multi-planar facets\, the works balance geometric structure with organic movement. Each element has its own surface\, pattern\, and character\, yet contributes to a larger composition of surprising connections and visual complexity anchored by repeated motifs. \nThrough multiple glaze firings\, Schmierer builds richly layered surfaces\, combining varied colors\, graphic patterns\, and tactile details. Curves\, angles\, ridges\, and open spaces intersect and overlap\, creating a sense of movement and depth. As the eye travels across the work\, individual forms shift in relation to one another\, revealing new patterns and spatial relationships.  The interplay of structure\, color\, and surface gives the work an animated quality\, while the complexity of their construction holds the parts together as a cohesive whole. \nPlease join us for the Artist’s Reception\, concurrent with the Reception for No Life Guard on Duty. Stop in any time between 1 and 4 pm\, Saturday\, November 14th to greet the artists and check out the work while enjoying the light refreshments on our lovely outdoor deck (weather permitting). All are welcome!   \nAggregate Vision is one of two concurrent solo exhibitions at Transmission gallery\, with more art to see in the Artist’s Showroom.

SUMMARY:inStudio: The Distance Between: Traveling Beyond Count Time
DESCRIPTION:Currently on view at Empowerment Avenue’s inStudio in Oakland\, The Distance Between: Traveling Beyond Count Time brings together stories told through the work of Black currently and formerly incarcerated artists. Their work traces histories of enslavement and confinement alongside the realities of incarceration today\, while carrying memory\, endurance\, and imagination toward something beyond them. Together\, these works invite us to explore the space between captivity and liberation\, to see differently\, and to imagine a world beyond systems of punishment.
