Description
Joe Bastida Rodriquez's plein aire landscapes, Inspired Before Nature at the Foundry Commons mini gallery, honor the Earth as the foundational source of human sustenance, physical self-actualization, and spiritual affirmation. The paintings reference the Bay Area figurative art tradition, which infused and blended figurative subject matter--including still life, portraits, landscapes and the figure--with the painterly techniques of abstract expressionism, characterized by an emphasis on process and the vigorous handling of paint, centered in the essentials of medium. The show runs Fri-Sun through Dec. 17.
