SUMMARY:Donald (Aldo) Farnsworth – Hands of the Maker: A Show of Hands
DESCRIPTION:Donald (Aldo) Farnsworth – Hands of the Maker: A Show of Hands\nAugust 6 – September 19\, 2026\nGallery Hours: Thursdays\, Fridays and Saturdays from 12 -5 pm\n​​​\nArtist’s Reception\nSaturday\, August 15th from 2-5 pm \nArtist’s Talk\nSaturday\, September 12th\, starting at 2 pm \nHands of the Maker: A Show of Hands presents twelve drawings by Aldo Farnsworth\, made with graphite\, quarried chalk\, and colored pigments on linen and hemp paper.  \nThe works focus on the hands of makers captured with close attention to intimate details: the nuance of gesture\, the particular way they hold a pencil or object\, often with glasses at hand. These quiet arrangements suggest drawing\, seeing\, measuring\, and making—the physical evidence of each subject’s creative work and daily life.  \nThe handmade paper\, with its deckle edges and distinctive felt-hair texture associated with Renaissance papers\, layers another history into these contemporary portraits. Farnsworth makes the paper himself\, raising worms to compost the linen\, beating the hemp fibers\, and forming each unique sheet\, connecting the hands depicted in the drawings to his own hand through the material. The paper carries the physical presence of the artist who made it\, just as the drawings carry the physical presence of the people they portray. \nArtists and makers represented in the drawings include Timothy Berry\, David Best\, Squeak Carnwath\, Guy Diehl\, Guillermo Galindo\, Mildred Howard\, Peter Koch\, Jerry Lin-Hsien Kung\, Kiki Smith\, Michael Wild\, Andrew Williams\, and Xiaoze Xie. The show is\, in a literal sense\, a show of hands—but also a portrait of artists through the things their hands reveal.  \nThese works were made possible by Magnolia Editions and the Magnolia Paper Lab with the assistance of Max Thill\, Tallulah Terryll\, Nicholas Price\, Alyssa Minadeo\, and Era Farnsworth. \nPlease join us for the Artist’s Reception\, Saturday\, August 15th\, 2-5 pm. Greet the artist and enjoy the lively conversations and light refreshments while you check out the work in concurrent solo shows at Transmission Gallery. Also\, mark your calendar for the Artist’s Talk starting at 2 pm on Saturday\, September 12th\, when Aldo will discuss his explorations in paper making and portraiture\, with a focus on this series of hands.

SUMMARY:Daniel McClain: Lost and Found
DESCRIPTION:Daniel McClain: Lost and Found\nThrough September 12\, 2026\n​​​\nArtist’s Reception\nSaturday\, August 15th from 2-5 pm \nTransmission Gallery is pleased to present Lost and Found\, a solo exhibition comprised of recent paintings and framed drawings by Daniel McClain.  \nThe exquisite technical process at play in McClain’s paintings is elusive at first. With their striking imagery\, bold planes and graphic color\, they initially suggest collages assembled from found images\, fragments\, and printed material.  Only after spending time with them does it become clear that every element has been re-created by hand. What appears to be a collage is\, in fact\, a meticulous replication of one. A strip of masking tape turns out to be paint. A penciled note is drawn in graphite. A battered corner is painted. Printed text is hand-drawn graphite as well.  \nAt this point the scope of the work begins to become apparent. Every element has been carefully considered. Creases\, worn edges\, and the faint shadows separating one sheet of paper from another receive the same attention as an ocean\, an illustration\, or a section of chalkboard. By granting each part equal attention\, McClain transforms copies into objects with their own independent presence. \nThis transformation is ultimately the point. Replication is not the subject of these paintings but their method\, bringing images from different histories\, disciplines\, and moments into direct conversation. Each element alters the meaning of the others\, creating relationships that could not exist without this painstaking act of reconstruction. \n​An example is the recurring figure of Pinocchio. More than a literary reference\, Pinocchio becomes real not by perfectly imitating a human being\, but by accumulating experience\, making mistakes\, and developing judgment. In this sense\, he serves as a metaphor for the paintings themselves. They begin as copies\, but they do not remain copies. Through the process of their making and the experience of looking\, they become something else. \nFamiliarity with art history\, literature\, and broader questions of reality and mystery enriches the experience\, revealing subtle connections within each painting. Yet no specialized knowledge is required; simply following the rhythms of color\, shape\, and line offers rewards of its own. \nFour framed graphite drawings on found paper accompany the paintings referencing the work of artists Marcel du Champ\, Werner Herzog\, and William de Kooning as well as Patti Smith. Beautifully executed\, they extend the exhibition’s exploration of perception\, felt experience and the transformation of familiar objects.
