Paintings

Bay Area artist, Chad Buck, opens an exhibition of new paintings at Brian Gross Fine Art on Thursday, September 8, with a reception for the artist from 5:30-7:30pm. In this exhibition, Buck continues to explore the relationship between color and texture in his refined abstract paintings.

In his second show with Brian Gross Fine Art, Chad Buck places emphasis on sublime color and texture in his meticulously painted, reductive abstractions. Buck thoughtfully considers the textural properties of other media, such as marble dust, which he combines with pigment to achieve a unique physical and material color. The vibrant palette of deep blues, radiant reds, ghostly greys, and soft whites lend an optical intensity and structure to the strong color and formal composition. Buck's reductive paintings are extraordinarily contemplative and render a powerful minimalist aesthetic.

Chad Buck, born in Caldwell, Idaho, in 1955, received his MFA from Brigham Young University, Provo, UT. He has participated in numerous group exhibitions in California as well as in Japan, Mexico, and France, and was a recipient of a Pollock-Krasner Foundation grant in 2001. He lives and works in Oakland, California. The exhibition continues through October 22, 2005.

Jill Baroff

Tide Drawings

New York artist, Jill Baroff, opens, Tide Drawings, at Brian Gross Fine Art on Thursday, September 8, with a reception from 5:30-7:30 pm. In this exhibition, Baroff presents a series of tidal studies that articulate the subtle repercussions of waves and tides.

In her first exhibition at Brian Gross Fine Art, Baroff exhibits ink and watercolor drawings on Japanese gampi paper that represent the tidal activity of several Californian bodies of water. Her work stems from her affinity for the waterways in and around Manhattan and a compulsion to systematize observations made of nature. Baroff painstakingly collects and documents the numerical information from tide tables that track water levels at high and low tide for each day of the year. From this data, she creates preliminary charts of minute tidal changes and then translates the findings into minimal, linear abstractions that visually record of time and geography. Baroff's subtle sense of line and color render quiet, meditative works reminiscent of the rhythms of the sea.

Jill Baroff was born in Summit, New Jersey, in 1954. She received her BFA from Antioch University, Yellow Springs, Ohio in 1976. Baroff was included in the Artist Seminars Program at the Whitney Museum of Art, NY in 1978 and pursued post-graduate studies at Hunter College, NY in 1980-81. Baroff has exhibited extensively throughout the United States and Europe. Recently, Baroff was included in the group exhibitions Infinite Possibilities: Serial Imagery in 20th Century Drawings at the Davis Museum, Wellesley College, Wellesley, MA and the Systems Now exhibition at the Elvehjem Museum of Art, University of Madison, Wisconsin. Baroff has been the recipient of several Pollock-Krasner Foundation and National Endowment for the Arts fellowships. This summer, Baroff studied tides at the Cape Cod National Seashore sponsored by the U.S. National Park Service Artist in Residence Program.

Reception: Thursday, September 8, 5:30-7:30pm
