SUMMARY:Jamie Madison Exhibition "A Walk in the Flatlands" 1/12 to 2/26 in Davis\, CA
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the John Natsoulas Gallery for Jamie Madison’s landscape exhibition: “A Walk in the Flatlands”. The show will run from January 12th through February 26th\, 2022.The opening reception will be on Friday\, January\, 14th 2022 from 7 to 9 p.m. \nJamie lives and works in Winters and Sausalito in Northern California. She received a Bachelor of Arts in painting and printmaking at UC Davis\, studying with Wayne Thiebaud and Roland Peterson. She returned full time to painting in 2017 and has recently studied with Fran O’Niell (New York Studio School)\, and Enrique Martinez Celaya. \nMadison’s focus is primarily on making\, particularly on process and choice of materials. She often works on paper\, sometimes collaging handmade monoprints onto acrylic paintings. The paint slides on easily\, dries quickly\, and\, as she says\, “welcomes the next layer with open arms.” In creating work for this exhibition\, Madison gravitated toward larger\, sturdier formats\, first wood panels\, and then stretched linen. As she worked on the panels\, hot pinks and bright reds began to emerge over the slick surfaces\, a reflection of the orange sky of the distant wildfires. When she switched to oils on stretched linen\, a softer\, more forgiving surface\, she encountered an unexpected shift: a cooler\, soothing palette materialized. The compositions refocused from distant horizons to smaller details of the land — puddles and woodland debris – things that are nearby and underfoot\, perhaps embedded in the earth itself. Madison’s striking paintings from the last eighteen months do not merely chronicle changes in the landscape but crystallize her reverence for the humming web of life that she has discovered in the flatlands. She is a witness to the landscape’s inexorable fragility in the face of industrial man’s epic battle against nature. \nFor more information visit https://www.natsoulas.com/event/jamie-madison-exhibition/ \nJohn Natsoulas Gallery \n521 First St \nDavis\, CA 95616 \n530-756-3938

SUMMARY:Philippe Gandiol Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Philippe Gandiol\, an award winning Northern California painter\, was born and raised in France and moved to California in his early 20’s. He has painted with oils for over 25 years. He pursued an independent program of study\, taking classes in France\, San Francisco and Sacramento and with several renowned West Coast painters. Philippe likes to paint a variety of subjects: landscapes\, cityscapes\, still life and figures “en plein air” or in the studio.

He is actively involved with the California artist community\, art events and fundraisers. He also participated in juried art festivals in Sonoma\, Carmel\, Napa and San Luis Obispo to name a few. He teaches both privately and at the Davis Art Center. As an instructor\, Philippe is appreciated as a thorough\, supportive and inspiring mentor. \nJoin us at the John Natsoulas Gallery for his exhibition which runs from December 8th\, 2021 through January 8th\, 2022. There will be an opening reception December 11th starting at 7pm.

SUMMARY:Kelly Detweiler Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the John Natsoulas Gallery for Kelly Detweiler’s upcoming exhibition! It runs from December 8th\, 2021through January 8th\, 2022 and there will be an opening reception on December 11th at 7pm. \nKelly Detweiler grew up in Colorado and moved to the San Diego area as a teenager. He attended Grossmont College before transferring to California State University at Hayward. Teachers such as Clayton Bailey\, Mel Ramos\, Raymond Saunders\, Harold Schlotzhauer\, Misch Kohn and Kenji Nanao helped shape his artistic sensibility that was primarily focused in ceramics when he arrived. Slowly this focus broadened to include painting and drawing. Graduate school followed and he was fortunate enough to attend University of California\, Davis which included faculty members Robert Arneson\, Roy DeForest\, Wayne Thiebaud\, Manuel Neri\, and David Gilhooly. During the summer between the two academic years of graduate study\, he was chosen to go to Skowhegan School in Maine. \nAfter graduate school\, Kelly spent some time in Oregon with DeForest’s famous dogs Ratu and Dido. This was followed by a period living and working for Robert Arneson in Benicia. He moved to Berkeley in 1979 and worked in a studio in West Oakland. During this period he taught at Diablo Valley College and at American River College on a part time basis. In 1981 he was married and his oldest son was born later that same year. In 1982 he began his teaching career at Santa Clara. He has taught at Santa Clara since that time with the one exception of 2002 when he taught for Gonzaga University in Florence while on sabbatical from Santa Clara. He has five children Christopher\, Elly\, Julia\, Colleen and James. \nKelly has forged a long term relationship with a group of artists in Japan and has traveled there many times to exhibit his work. He has also shown his work in Germany and is included in the permanent collection at the Villa Haiss Museum in Zell. He has curated many exhibits in the San Jose area with the most recent being the “Pacific Rim Art Now 2003” at Works\, San Jose.

SUMMARY:Kati Thomson Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Kati Thomson’s exhibition will run from November 10th through December 4th and there will be an opening night on November 13th from 7 to 9pm. \nKati Thomson is a California native\, which has informed each of her creative efforts.  Kati was born in Fresno and returned to the Central Valley after living in both Southern and Northern California for work and education.  After a long career in healthcare\, her need to tell stories has taken her from writing novels\, screenplays and poetry\, to film production and then to visual art. Working mostly in oil\, Kati paints a variety of subjects both from life and in her studio in Clovis\, California with a focus on Figurative art. \n“Im drawn again and again to the human figure\, the faces around me. What is it about the placement of a single line that creates or destroys recognition between one human and another – in implied motion/rest\, attractiveness/non-attractiveness\, inner dialogue. We read body language without thinking and in a way create a story about other people with so little real information. How is it that we can draw so much understanding of a person with just a crease between the brow or the position of a head? \nI like things a little disordered\, creating clarity in the things that are important to me and letting the rest fall apart a little. When I was writing\, I imagined my story in a series of vignettes. And while I could picture every detail of my characters – their intentions\, thoughts\, feelings – I struggled with the links between the scenes. As a visual artist I realize that those missing details are the mysteries of human stories and I prefer leaving them up to the viewer.”

SUMMARY:The Beat Goes On: Poets as Painters
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition is a unique opportunity to see the best poets of the Beat generation’s artwork in-person. Paintings\, illustrations\, self-portraiture\, and portraits of Beat contemporaries will be on display by Jack Kerouac\, Gregory Corso\, Allen Ginsberg\, Lawrence Ferlinghetti\, Robert LaVigne\, Mohammed Mrabet\, Paul Bowles\, Harold Norse\, Carolyn Cassady\, Brion Gysin\, Lew Welch\, Kenneth Patchen\, William S. Burroughs\, and Michael McClure. Joe Lee and John Natsoulas curated this incredible exhibition to show the incredible diversity of poetry\, artwork\, and ephemera of the Beat poets and painters. \nLike all labels that stick\, the nickname “Beat” richly and succinctly characterizes major aspects of its so-called movement\, which sprang from the ecstatic and tortured rhythms of visionary poets\, painters\, and musicians. Tellingly\, informatively\, paradoxically\, meanings of “beat” extend from a resolute self-affirming strike and an appointed path to their dark opposite–dissipated and hopelessly exhausted resolution or morale. “Beats” can also mean a dissonant battering set up by discordant patterns. \nThe Beat Goes On will run from November 10th through December 4th. \nOn November 13th from 6:30 to 10pm\, there will be an opening night with live jazz and poetry\,  featuring performances by Gregory Carter Dr. Andy Jones\, John Natsoulas\, and Tony Passarell Trio. The Linda Bair Dance Company will perform the original dance “Jack Kerouac”.

SUMMARY:Seongmin Yoo Exhibition: Bondage to Freedom
DESCRIPTION:Seongmin Yoo is a Korean-born conceptual and installation artist that now lives in America. Known for her inventive use of space and materials\, her body of work involves collage\, painting\, video\, performance\, and installation. Seongmin often utilizes traditional Korean techniques that her mother taught her.  Seongmin says she owes most of her success to the decades of experience and extensive knowledge gifted to her by her mentors. Her exhibition will be held at the John Natsoulas Gallery from August 4-30\, 2021.\n\nSeongmin’s work deals with both her personal struggles and political struggles. Her artwork has often dealt with spirituality\, the body\, and women’s rights. She uses the raw materials she collects in nature to speak about the cyclical nature of life and the inevitability of being repurposed or reborn. Lately\, however\, she has focused on the interaction between her east and west identities. Her current show\, “Bondage to Freedom”\, addresses the newfound freedoms and experiences that she’s had living in America as an artist and as a woman. She discusses that in Korea\, women are pressured to be submissive and demure but in America she is encouraged to be expressive\, particularly as an artist. She also finds that her pieces\, while still made with Korean artistic techniques\, are having more and more American influences. As the effects of Americanization become more salient and her world becomes more of a melting pot\, she is forced to reckon with the dissonance that comes with merging multiple established identities.\n\nA contemporary of Wangechi Mutu\, Lin Tianmiao and Tania Brugeera she is working in the ethno-futurism aesthetic. Her work features startling hybrid figures and otherworldly images that evoke the idea of breaking free from a life of servitude. In her current body of work\, she is using video and installation art to address ideas like intruders\, torture and subjugation. Problems that women face in Korea like footbinding\, misogyny\, and sexist gender roles manifest in Seongmin’s surrealistic figures being shackled\, attacked\, and\, ultimately\, liberated. Provocative\, powerful\, and profound\, Seongmin Yoo is considered one of the most important conceptual installation artists of our time.
