GAY OUTLAW November 8 - December 22, 2022 Gallery Paule Anglim is pleased to announce an exhibition of new works by Gay Outlaw, November 8 through December 16, 2006. Gay Outlaw will exhibit new sculptures that are the culmination of research and play with form and materials. The artist's rich studio practice is characterized by parallel projects in photography, 3-d model making and experimentation with a broad scope of production, ranging from hand sewing to industrial casting. Outlaw's show will feature some of her photocollages, as well. Outlaw realizes her abstract forms in a challenging mix of materials, from glass to plastic to felt, to found materials like pencils or rubber hoses-- at times, she has employed food in her sculptures. Even as a fan of minimalism, she offers viewers new relationships to formal art, taking them beyond its past rigors. Gay Outlaw has exhibited her work widely in museums and private galleries, including one-person shows at Mills College, Oakland, an exhibition at the University Art Museum, California State Long Beach (with catalog) and an exhibition at the Sculpture Center in New York (with Lee Bontecou and Diana Cooper). She is also the recipient of SFMoMA's SECA Award. A reception for the artist will be held Thursday, November 9th from 5:30 � 7:30 p.m. Image: Three-Legged Intersection, 2006, plywood, milk paint, 48" x 64" x 64" DEAN SMITH November 8 - December 22, 2022 Gallery Paule Anglim is pleased to announce an exhibition of new works on paper by Dean Smith, November 8 through December 16, 2006. Dean Smith produces drawings that are abstract, yet make reference to organic growth and the representation of 3-dimensional space. Delicate compositions made up of tiny lines, so fine and regimented in their perfect repetition, it seems impossible that they might be produced, tiny mark after tiny mark, by hand. Whether made from pencil strokes or fine touches of a fluorescent pen, Dean Smith's drawings breathe their own life, living somewhere between geometry and botany. Smith's process is meditative and disciplined: the minute marks and fragility of the drawings' surface patterns are matched by the strength and magnitude of the task of their execution. The drawings address time, space and order without benefit of mathematics or a straight line. Dean Smith lives and works in the Bay Area. His work has been collected by the British Museum, LA County Museum of Art, the Albright-Knox Gallery of Art, the UCLA Hammer Museum, the Berkeley Art Museum and the Oakland Museums among other public collections. A reception for the artist will be held Thursday, November 9th from 5:30 � 7:30 p.m. Image: topology #19, 2006, fluorescent ink on paper, 18" x 14 1/2"
