Caprice Pierucci: New Works
July
18, 2013 - August 13, 2013
Opening Reception Thursday, July 18, 2013
5 -
8pm
Caprice is best known for her wood wall
relief works that evoke ideas of skeletons, shells and
landscapes. They are inspired by her fiber and tapestry
weaving background reflecting the linear repetitions of textiles.
The forms are mostly curvilinear and use progressive rhythms
to create movement and shadow. Her most recent work deals
with the idea of natural forms developing over time. The layers
and undulating rhythms in the forms speak of our mortality and
the huge expanses of time that lead to one particular moment
of beauty.
Kate Hunt: New Works
August 15, 2013 - September 4, 2013
Opening Reception
Thursday, August 15, 2013 5 - 8pm
Kate Hunt was raised in a town of 900 on
the plains of Montana. It is "Big Sky" country. The subtle power
of the landscape has influenced her work. Hunt’s work is object
oriented. Her materials include steel, twine, boat building
epoxy, encaustic, and newspaper.
“Hunt
demonstrates a powerful command and intuitive sense of her
materials. Through varnishing, chopping and binding, Hunt
recasts this common material into the stuff of sculpture, often
to stunning and surprising effect.” (- Kate Hackman, The
Kansas City Star)
Kate Hunt will present
museum exhibitions at the Portland Art Museum from May 14 -
August 12, 2014 and at the Missoula Museum of the Arts from
August 15 – October 12, 2014.
Hung Liu: Bastard Paintings II September 6-
30
Opening Reception Friday, September
6, 2013 5-8 pm
We proudly present Hung Liu’s second solo
exhibition at Diehl Gallery. Born in Changchun, China, in 1948,
a year before the creation of the People's Republic of China, Liu
lived through Maoist China and experienced the Great Leap
Forward and the Cultural Revolution. Trained as a social realist
painter and muralist, she came to the United States in 1984 to
attend the University of California, San Diego, where she
received her MFA.
One of the first people from mainland
China to study abroad and pursue an art career, she moved to
northern California to become a faculty member at Mills
College in 1990, and has continued to live and work in the Bay
Area. She has exhibited internationally at premier museums
and galleries, and her work resides in prestigious private and
institutional collections around the world. Hung Liu currently
lives in Oakland and is a tenured professor in the Art
Department at Mills College.
