Ruth Boerefyn
presents a mesmerizing installation "tin can symphony" that draws
viewers into a world of intricate connections and hidden narratives. Her
work invites contemplation of the delicate balance between life's
fleeting moments and the enduring traces they leave behind. The colored
paper is cut from her own drawings from nature, imprinted with other
narratives and perception, through which she punches holes as a way of
forging through them to get to the act of new expression. Her vocabulary
of materials comes alive in conversation with the objects and lived-in
spaces around them.

Cuong Ta
has always been fascinated by the play of positive and negative spaces
in his work. The balance of glazed and unglazed areas on the surface
takes on an organic impression although he takes deliberate care in the
design and execution of the pieces. Over the course of his career, he
has developed a vocabulary of lines and shapes that he returns to - each
repetition is a recitation of a memorized passage, each new piece a
variation of the play between boundary and flow.

The mixed media pieces by Tom White push the boundaries of conventional artistic
expression. His creations blend various materials and techniques to
craft thought-provoking compositions that explore the interplay of form
and context. Through his work, White prompts viewers to reconsider the
relationship between the tangible and the intangible.

Gray Loft
Gallery has promoted the rich art culture of Jingletown and the greater
Bay Area for 11 years. The gallery has been referred to as a hidden gem
in Jingletown, and noted by the late 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
Gray Loft Gallery has received "Best Art Gallery" in the Oakland Magazine's Readers Choice Award in 2016, 2017, 2021 and voted one of five top art galleries in 2022 and 2023.
