January 24 "Here & Now: The Bay Area Figurative Movement Grows" Curatorial Tour

Today’s narrative, expressive phase of the Bay Area figurative movement is about reflecting on the world we live in. We are telling stories that reach beyond academic achievement and accuracy. We are truth seeking. Sometimes we embrace the unbeautiful. Or create beauty for its own sake. Our work might reflect on our personal struggles or reflect the tensions that surround our lives. We are presenting a range of select artists who focus on the figure and are living and working in The Bay Area. Each is grounded in the figurative movement yet continues to explore and express their humanity through portrayals of the form in context.
NCWCA members enjoyed their first curatorial tour of the year with Susan Kirshenbaum and Catherine Merrill leading a discussion of their group exhibition, "He & Now: The Bay Area Figurative Movement Grows" at the Sausalito Center for the Arts at 750 Bridgeway, Sausalito.
