  • Frank Big Bear: Nativia
    2123 w 21st Street | Minneapolis mn 55405 | 612 377 4669 | bockleygallery.com Frank Big Bear: Nativia Opening Reception: Friday, November 11, 6 to 8 pm Exhibition: November 10 through December 17, 2016 Gallery Hours: Wednesday through Saturday, Noon to 5 pm Bockley Gallery is pleased to announce its upcoming exhibition Nativia by Duluth-based artist Frank Big Bear. In his 12th solo show at the gallery, Big Bear continues to explore the complex issues in force at the intersection of Native American and American popular cultures. Running throughout this offering of new paintings, drawings and a single collage is the broader leitmotif of the human figure and, more specifically, the portrait. Of note is Big Bear’s Multiverse #1, a large-scale collage where the artist utilized 120 gallery exhibition invitations as a support to express his ideas and actions, which he then organized into a grid pattern. Big Bear approached each card individually as if chapters in a book, collageing onto each surface a range of images culled from magazines, books, graphic novels and catalogues. This cacophony of visual information integrates images, signs and symbols drawn from Native culture with those of popular culture figures, objects and events such as famous artists and artworks, celebrities, models, and even animals. The individual cards are then modified as needed and organized into the larger compositional grid. Of note is another collage in the Multiverse series, Big Bear’s monumental The Walker Collage, Multiverse #10 commissioned by Walker Art Center. It will be unveiled at the November 19 celebratory opening of the museum’s redesigned main entrance on Vineland Place.

  • Raymond Saunders 40 Years: Paris/Oakland
    Andrew Kreps Gallery Raymond Saunders 40 Years: Paris/Oakland May 1 - June 12, 2021 657 Howard Street, San Francisco, CA 94105 1275 Minnesota Street, San Francisco, CA Casemore Kirkeby and Andrew Kreps Gallery are pleased to announce 40 Years: Paris/ Oakland, an exhibition of works by Raymond Saunders, presented across two locations in San Francisco. Since the 1960s, Raymond Saunders has developed a singular practice defined by an improvisational approach, as he culls eclectic ephemera, signage, detritus, and other materials from his daily life which reflect his living environment. A cult-like figure in the Bay Area art scene, Saunders’ paintings and installation-based works are loaded with rich swaths of paint, interwoven with found materials and his own notational marks, and white- pencil drawings. Blackboard surfaces, left visible through a heavy accumulation of marks and material, tie Saunders’ works inextricably to his role as an educator, as he handwrites simple equations, lettering, and childlike notes onto the work’s surface. Like jazz, dissonant at first, yet upon closer view, Saunders uses these diverse elements which seem to address the dualities present within life - plight and renewal, lack and abundance, innocence, and despair, as well as the individual and the community. Interweaving his own personal experience and anecdotes, Saunders aims to teach this full reality of the modern environment, the losses and victories, as well as the splendor that exists within the everyday. Spanning four decades of Saunders’ remarkable career, 40 Years: Paris/Oakland spans two locations (657 Howard Street, and 1275 Minnesota Street) and features rarely-exhibited works on canvas from the 1980s and installation-based works from the 1990s.
