TOM GEHRIG WORK SELECTED FOR 2020 "LEFT COAST" JURIED EXHIBITION AT SANCHEZ ART CENTER

The 2020 Left Coast Annual Exhibition at Sanchez Art Center was juried by Carin Adams, curator of art at the Oakland Museum of California. Over 1,000 entries were submitted by artists that live and work on the west coast of the USA.

​​​​Tom Gehrig's work, Reconnoitering Site 1: Connecting To Constellation Virgo, was selected for the show. Measuring 44" x 44", this multi-media oil painting is both beautiful and fascinating. ​​An airplane appears to emerge from an epic cloudbank, giving canopy to a bucolic landscape. But what's really going on? Upon closer inspection, there's evidence of human activity. ​Off the beaten path is a small Coleman lantern threaded to a stone sculpture and a suspended singular branch.​

In classic Gehrig style, the painted string merges with a real wire that's mounted as an assumed suspension apparatus to the wood frame. In its totality, this composition is pleasing to the resting eye, while also pulling the viewer into the landscape itself.

Reconnoitering Site 1: Connecting To Constellation Virgo

The opening reception for Left Coast will be held on Friday, April 10, 7–9pm. Closing the show will be a juror's talk and a gallery walk on Sunday, May 17, 3pm.
