About the Artists...
Bruce Tamberelli:
Bruce Tamberelli is
an Oakland
artist with 29 years of experience. His
mediums include; photography, painting,
mixed media and story telling. In the late 1970's Tamberelli began to work with photography, by using
multiple imagery and manipulating Polaroids.
His first painting was on a Polaroid. On a whim, in 1993, he bought
oil paints and canvas. The
works of a self-taught painter, his
paintings have always been carefully sketched out compositions. These new works are
not sketched, and are influenced by drawings of hands of traveling BART
passengers. With hands he has added boxes and circles into his favorite
objects along with landscape and cityscapes.
"In these changing times, a new
administration, economic difficulties and uncertainties, people are reaching,
searching, looking for something, anything. The paintings reflect our
current times." - Bruce Tamberelli
Darwin
Price:
Darwin Price is a well-known
artist in the San Francisco Bay Area art scene. Often present in his work is
the reconciliation of such dichotomies as good/evil, anima/animus, orange/blue.

Darwin broke Alice's glass: He slipped along dragging one
foot in the gutter with a guilty 'wasp in his wig.' Wondering, "with everyone
saying different things to me; while taking everything that they can. What do I
believe? Not this world! Who wants to be sheep or an oyster to be fleeced or
shucked and eaten by god?" He had hoped he might just stay unnoticed long
enough to slip sideways between the sidereal worlds and back to Alice. To be, at
last, among all the strange and forgotten relics and people he'd somehow
misplaced. With their laughter still ringing in his ears and surrounded those
worthless treasures he'd sought so very hard to find & hold one again: the
rock, a signpost, a teapot, a single socks, a melody, and all his memories of
you; of love. He thought aoud, "I can be happy as any of these things."
Yvette
M. Buigues:
Yvette Buigues was born in Los Angeles, California.
Her father, an internationally known sculptor, was her greatest inspiration and
mentor. A self-taught painter, Buigues studied fine art illustration in Buenos Aires, Argentina under the tutelage of
Adrian Dorado, a contemporary constructivist painter, and Nicolas Bufidis, a
master fresco artist and director of the Buenos Aires School of Fine Arts. She
worked in graphite and colored pencil, focusing her efforts on technique and realism.
Buigues has been an exhibiting artist for the past seventeen years. heavyblackline.com
"200 Hares" wrestles with darkness
as it gives way to light and humor. The pieces weave back and forth
provoking the sobriety and joy that is emotional and physical growth." - Yvette
Buigues
