Katherine Sherwood / Gay Outlaw May 2 - June 2, 2023 Katherine Sherwood Gallery Paule Anglim is pleased to announce an exhibition of new paintings by Katherine Sherwood. A catalog with an essay by the poet John Yau will be available. Katherine Sherwood will present a group of new paintings, further developing her unique technique that combines painting, paper collage and photolithography. The artist will show small and large canvases in an expressive calligraphic style that takes form and subject matter from medieval seals, emblems that are believed to have been originally drawn by King Solomon. These painterly talismans are rendered with spontaneous gestures that seem to flow organically with their own life force. Katherine Sherwood has received much recognition for her work including the Adeline Kent Award from the San Francisco Art Institute (1999) and participation in the Whitney Biennial (2000). She received her M.F.A. from the San Francisco Art Institute and taught painting at New York University for five years before returning to the Bay Area in 1988 when she assumed her position in U.C. Berkeley's art department.
	Gay Outlaw Gallery Paule Anglim is pleased to announce an exhibition of new sculptures by Gay Outlaw. This presentation precedes her comprehensive one-person show at the University Art Gallery at California State University, Long Beach opening this Fall. A specially commissioned sculptural installation will be presented at the inaugural exhibition of the American Center for Food, Wine and the Arts this November in Napa, California. Gay Outlaw has produced artworks in a number of media that celebrate objects and activities overlooked as domesticated and ordinary. Whether her photographic series, or her sculptures made of pastry or caramel, Outlaw's artworks find shapes and textures in objects and materials commonly found in the home, often in the kitchen. She chooses her materials (pencils, rubber hoses, food) for their formal attributes, finding novel properties of translucency, structural patterns, weight and color. For her show at Gallery Paule Anglim the artist will present a grouping of plaster cubes perforated by a matrix of tubes and a wall installation using suspended shapes and shadows. Gay Outlaw is a recipient of the 1998 SECA Art Award, presented by the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Her sculpture, Black Hose Mountain, now in the collection of the Berkeley Art Museum, was featured this Spring in an exhibition at New York's Sculpture Center. Please join us for a reception for the artists on Thursday, May 3rd from 5:30 to 7:30pm.
