FRESHART SF presents ORGANICA at Arterra

FRESHART SF presents

ORGANICA:Abstractions in the Natural World

Eve Shen, June Li & Cecilia Welden at ARTERRA

Reception 4-7pm Thursday August 27th

300 Berry at 5th

The word Arterra connotes “artistry of the earth”. There is an organic sensibility in the design of a green building. While we have always taken from the earth to create structures for habitation, Arterra differs in that it “remembers where it comes from.” Recycling raw materials acknowledges that we are integral parts of a whole.

Organica: Abstractions in the Natural World joins three artists together by their willingness to use the language of paint: color, form, mass, and line to express visceral rather than intellectual concerns. Eve Shen, June Li, and Cecilia Welden abstract the world according to their uniquely feminine perspective. Their use of shimmering crimsons; pinks and gold, weighted with mahogany signify deeply felt experience. Repetitive, fluid and circular shapes, heavily massed yet translucent, reveal levels of depth and complexity .Cecelia Weldon uses wax encaustic to create an effect of movement and flickering light, trapped like a firefly in clasped hands. These are soulful paintings, mysterious, and resonant: By grounding abstract theory in “iris and bone”, these artists succeed in reclaiming it for themselves.

HELPING ARTISTS
Coda’s mission to support artists extends beyond musicians. Visual artists have been given a voice as well. With an economy that has forced many Bay Area gallery doors closed, this alternate location gives much-needed exhibition space to local artists.

GIVING BACK
See something you like and are considering buying it? You can feel good knowing that a portion of the proceeds goes to help area music and visual arts programs in the community.

GOOD REASONS TO
BUY ART



People collect art for both enjoyment and investment; the higher an artists prices, the more desirable their art. Yet what of the successful artist, me included, who has had to temporarily reduce prices this year?
The upside of hard times means this is an excellent time to invest in Art. The new economy encourages creative opportunities for acquisition, including purchasing art via installments and barter. Taking sales prices out of the equation affords collectors the chance to consider a more holistic assessment of an artists worth, including an appreciation of their place in the community and what they stand for in addition to reviews, publications and honors.

Collectors of my Art will be pleased to know my painting "Ballerina” was prominently featured in the July 2009 issue of ELLE DECOR

Barber Lounge Art

Art at the Barber Lounge 845 Folsom @ fourth mid july through september

Housed in a relaxed and inviting loft space, the Barber Lounge is the new ultra-hip salon located in San Francisco's SOMA district. It's an innovative scene where the low maintenance man can come hang his hat and where the high maintenance woman can relax and let her hair down.

The beautiful space features original artwork by local artists. Visitors can enjoy a beer or a glass of chardonnay while perusing the mini-gallery between spa treatments.
