Kirshenbaum and Catherine Merrill ARTISTS Joseph Abbati Madeline Covey Jane Fisher Susan R. Kirshenbaum Catherine Merrill Diane Olivier Fernando Reyes Randall Sexton May Shei Charles H. Stinson CURATORIAL STATEMENT Third Generation: The Bay Area Figurative Movement Today – Selected Bay Area Figurative Artists The Bay Area Figurative Movement never died and continues to thrive. San Francisco Bay Area artists and models founded the Models Guild in 1946, and it’s no wonder that we still have such a healthy, lively community, chock-full of dedicated talent. Some of us even flourished during COVID and sheltering-in-place, as we continued drawing, painting, and sculpting on Zoom sessions around the world. What does our figurative community look like? We are artists and models; teachers and students; our styles are anywhere from classical to pop; our techniques are everything from digital to hand-ground pigments; and our community encompasses the very experienced and the relatively new to exhibiting. This exhibition explores a full range of styles and approaches combined with skill and craft. Third Generation: The Bay Area Figurative Movement Today will be on view at SFWA Gallery April 4-26, 2023. The Opening Reception will be held on Saturday, April 8, 2023 from 2 to 4pm The Closing Reception will be held on Saturday, April 22, 2023 from 2 to 4pm.
