We
are extremely pleased to present this solo exhibit of photographs by
artist Karyn Yandow. Karyn’s sublime and surreal images use nature as a
metaphor to explore human spirituality and connectedness. Her
hauntingly beautiful photographs weave a common thread throughout her
imagery that reflects on the poignant meditative beauty of spirituality,
loss, fragility and hope that reaches beyond the eyes and into the
soul. She seeks out sensuous and ephemeral botanical imagery that is a
symbol for the transcendent and intimate moments in our lives.
Karyn was born a fraternal twin in the Bronx, New York and graduated from the San Francisco Art Institute with a BFA in printmaking. Although she is a self-taught photographer, she was greatly influenced by her maternal grandparents who were documentary and fine art photographers. Karyn has exhibited her photography in San Francisco and the Bay Area for over 25 years at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, Berkeley Art Center, Gray Loft Gallery, Gallery Route One, Falkirk Cultural Center, CIIS, Sebastopol Center for the Arts, Bolinas Art Museum, Sanchez Art Center, and the Center for Photographic Art in Carmel.

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 Review
