We hope you will join us in this celebration on Saturday when we close Abstractions, a stellar group exhibit of new work by five Bay Area artists which includes painting, photography and sculpture.
DeWitt Cheng wrote about the show in his East Bay Express Staff Pick article:
"Abstraction
with references to nature and life is back with the powerful New York
exhibition of Hilma af Klint’s pioneering spiritual paintings.
Abstractions at Gray Loft Gallery features five local artists — painters
Jennifer LaPierre, Simone Simon, and Andrea Wedell; photographer Irene
Imfeld; and sculptor Peter Dreyfuss — who use abstraction to distill
visual, physical, and maybe metaphysical sensations into color and form,
without the stumbling blocks of identifiable objects. LaPierre and
Wedell find their poetically allusive landscape/skyscape images through
painting, giving sway to instinct and imagination. Simon combines a
monochromatic Chinese-painting palette with the brushless freedom of
post-painterly abstraction in her poured-pigment canvases. Imfeld
superimposes floral photographic motifs to create scaleless, infinite
fields of energy. Dreyfuss creates steel sculptures with the mass,
energy, and organic form of Abstract Expressionist paintings, along with
elegantly geometric, machined-looking works."
We hope you will join us on Saturday!

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
7 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
