Gray Loft Gallery presents: LIN FISCHER Opening this Saturday, September 16, 4:00 - 6:30 pm
We are extremely pleased to present Lin Fischer,
a solo collection of landscape and figurative abstract paintings.
Fischer’s allegiance to Bay Area figurative painting dates from her
studies at the University of California, Davis. Her densely worked
landscapes and figures combine drawing and compositions with heightened
color and abstraction, which are charged with feeling and drama.
“I
use painting as a way to get in touch with a higher power. Images occur
to me and I create them. Everything depends on the mood I am in when I
go to paint, and what I am feeling. It all revolves around what image is
attracting me and what will fulfill me. Consequently the paintings are
not always exactly the same as the last ones in terms of abstraction,
expressionism, impressionism or realism. I trust the paint and my hand
to do the job. The brain seems to have little to do with it. Afterwards I
learn from what is on the canvas.” – Lin Fischer

ABOUT GRAY LOFT GALLERY
Gray
Loft Gallery - voted "Best Art Gallery" two years in a row - 2016
& 2017 - in the Oakland Magazine Readers' Choice Award - has
promoted the rich art culture of Jingletown and the greater Bay Area for
5 years. The gallery has been referred to as a hidden gem in
Jingletown, and noted by Kenneth Baker, former SF Chronicle Art Critic,
in his Visual Arts Don’t Miss Column as “…A space gaining prominence in
the Bay Area…” The mission of the gallery is to provide exhibition
opportunities for artists in a setting that is an alternative to the
traditional gallery model. We hope to inspire, engage and celebrate
artists in our community and beyond. We acknowledge the achievements of
emerging, mid-career and established artists – with an emphasis on
those who live and work in the Bay Area – in a non-traditional art
space. A number of artists began their art career at Gray Loft Gallery.
“I have always enjoyed this gallery, superb atmosphere and lighting.
The polished and worn hardwood floors creek slightly in places as you
climb to the third floor, providing a granular and unique, organic
aesthetic. This is a do-not-miss venue in the East Bay.” – Facebook
