Gray Loft Gallery is very pleased to present Seeing Red, a photography exhibit that explores and celebrates the color red.  A variety of photographic techniques inspired by the color red will be on view, including mixed media, alternative process and traditional color photographic processes.  Red is associated with passion and drama, with strong emotions such as love and anger, and can be stimulating, vibrant and exciting.  In Chinese culture red represents luck and prosperity.  Lovers of red are passionate with an enthusiasm for life – which is exemplified in this visually vibrant exhibit.

The exhibit was selected by Ann M. Jastrab, an independent curator, photography consultant, editor, and writer.

About Gray Loft Gallery:
Gray Loft Gallery – celebrating its 6th year in February – was voted Best Art Gallery in 2016 and 2017 in the Oakland Magazine Readers’ Choice Awards, and has been referred to as a hidden gem in Jingletown.  Noted by retired art critic Kenneth Baker, SF Chronicle, 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.
