Description
Micaëla Gallery presents Douglass Freed's multi-paneled oil paintings, epic in size and scope. His luminescent canvases find the grey area between traditional landscape painting and its abstraction into color fields. Freed's work tends on a cinematic quality, by its size and dimension and in his usage of diptych and triptych systems to break enveloping natural settings into interstices of time and transition. Micaëla also features Anne Yalon, a cross-disciplinary San Francisco artist whose work speaks to a landscape's potential as witness to events. Yalon presents ghostly prints of the countryside. Ranging from ruins to shipwrecks, they are heavy with the palpable weight of memory. Her video, "Reoriented," mixes rhythmic sound with the artist's footsteps as she takes the viewer around present-day Treasure Island and its ruins from the 1939 World's Fair. Yalon's plumbing of residual memory embedded in landscape acts as poignant punctuation to the immediacy of Freed's panoramas.More Info
