An animation illustrating the creation of imagery for “Doris Mitsch | Locked Down Looking Up.”
—
“Locked Down Looking Up” started as a series of images made over time from a fixed point—outside the artist’s front door—during the San Francisco Bay Area’s lockdown to slow the spread of Covid-19. Multiple shots were combined to show the flight trails of birds, insects, and bats. While most everything in Doris Mitsch’s life had come to a standstill, up in the air there was still a lot going on. Later, when she started to be able to move around a little more, she began to explore other locations.

Brian Paul Clamp of CLAMP and Ghislain Pascal of the Little Black Gallery are pleased to present “Uncensored,” an exhibition of photographs by AdeY.
—
The images in the exhibit are playful and experimental with bodies often shown in choreographed poses or formations. The viewer is given the right to interpret the images as they wish, which is an important part of AdeY’s intent.

An exhibition walkthrough of “Anthony Peyton Young | As Above, So Below”—an exhibition of paintings curated by Joseph Wolin, on view through September 9th.
—
Joseph Wolin writes: “Transferring AI-generated compositions to black canvas by painting them with bleach, Young turns his underlying process into a metaphor. Is it too much of a stretch to imagine that the very creation of the image by means of the removal of color from the fabric by a whitening agent might echo the corrosive effects of a societal privileging of whiteness on the formation of Black identity? That the bleach-on-black-canvas underpainting reverses traditional artistic technique—working by subtraction instead of addition, rendering the image in light on dark instead of the opposite—serves to underscore the topsy-turvy nature of Young’s images.”

An exhibition walkthrough of “Daniel Handal | Engaños”—on view through September 9th.
—
Through the use of trompe l’oeil and visual tricks, Handal aims to challenge traditional notions of beauty by presenting flowers in unexpected and unconventional contexts. By placing these delicate, natural subjects in corrugated cardboard boxes, he creates a sense of contrast, transforming an inexpensive and common material into something beautiful. The rough, industrial material of the boxes serves as a foil for the delicate beauty of the flowers, challenging the viewer to consider the relationship between the natural world and the man-made.

NOW ON VIEW: “Sandersonia (Cream + White)” from “Daniel Handal | Engaños”—through September 9th.
—
Handal’s project touches on the theme of our relationship with truth and how technology affects the way we see and interact with the world. By presenting these photographs as two-dimensional works that appear to be three-dimensional, Handal explores the ways in which photography can both create illusions and distort our perception.
