Suhas Bhujbal Suhas Bhujbal captures the character of people that he sees everyday. In an international city like San Francisco, he finds people from various cultures, ethnicity, nationalities and ages. He does his expressive, rapid sketches of people that he encounters everyday and then develops them into the final works of art.

Bhujbal is a faculty member in the Graduate Fine Arts Department at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco. He has shown in many group and solo exhibitions around the world. His work has been included in shows at Triton Museum in Santa Clara, CA; Palm Springs Museum in Palm Springs, CA; and the Art Museum of Los Gatos in Los Gatos, CA. Bhujbal’s works are in many private and corporate collections, including VISA International.

Sherry Karver In my work the documentary nature of the photograph merges with the painterly qualities of oil, establishing a dialogue and tension between the two. I mount my black & white images on top of 2 5/8� deep wood panels, and hand paint them with numerous layers of oil glazes to build up the color, combining the old master technique of glazing with contemporary photo/digital technology. This gives each piece a lush surface and makes it stand out as a painting, rather than a print.

Mary-Austin Klein The ability to contain vast and deep landscapes into small, flat paintings makes me feel like a wrangler of space. After years of painting cityscapes, purchasing a desert cabin in Twentynine Palms led me to painting panoramic desert landscapes.

These paintings became dense with a sense of place, distances stretching on forever and mountains glowing with an inner light. The power to capture the magic of the California desert and contain it within a frame is enthralling.

Jason Kowalski New things that have fresh coats of paint and clean lines command our visual awareness. Things that have been used and worn out are often naively labeled unattractive. My work is both a statement of the effect of time on a location, as well as a vehicle to arouse attention to things that are often forgotten. Growing up in the Midwest I was constantly surrounded by things that deteriorated over the natural course of time. Human nature dictates that we ignore or look past such blemishes. Abandoned and left in a state of neglect, places and things are consumed and discarded like pieces of trash.

Dave Lefner The main goal of my work is about preservation and documentation. As a native-born Angeleno, I’ve always had a love for the city around me. My work reflects a nostalgia for its aging but unique storefronts, signage, and architecture from all Los Angeles areas, ranging from the Valley to my current home of Downtown L.A. For me, the urban landscape, complete with its burnt-out neon, faded, peeling advertisements and movie posters, and possibly even the occasional graffiti piece, serve as the perfect inspiration for my detailed, limited-edition linocut prints.

Glenn Ness Painting is a way for me to tell stories, celebrating our need to connect to each other and to our surroundings. It is not enough for me to just paint a man walking up the stairs. I am intimately involved in that moment as soon as I choose to paint it. I wonder about His story and how it relates to mine. Often I choose not to paint a figure in a scene at all, which overstates an obvious absence. To me, this implies a narrative that lends itself to being internalized in some way.

I like to paint both around urban and rural scenarios. My current work is a cross section of both. Cityscapes give me an opportunity to visually explore very complex multiple perspectives and light sources from scenes we may walk through every day. The rural pool scene with its undulating lines and shocks of light and color have a hypnotic effect on me that pulls me inward. Both have a subject matter that celebrates the everydayness of being in the moment and not missing it.

Siddharth Parasnis The works of Siddharth Parasnis are inspired by a vast archive of architectural images that he collects during his travels. He translates the rustic architectural structures on to the canvas, abstracting and simplifying them in order to strike a balance between likeness and abstraction. His work resonates on both an abstract and representational level, which makes them familiar and foreign at the same time.

Born in India, Parasnis received his B.F.A. from the Directorate of Art, Bombay, India and then received his M.F.A. from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, California.

David Shevlino David Shevlino was born in Jersey City, NJ in 1962. A graduate of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and the University of Pennsylvania, he also studied at the Art Students' League in New York. Growing up near NYC, Shevlino was exposed to art as a teenager. He began making trips to art museums at age 15 and developed a love of traditional figurative painting. During this time he found himself especially drawn to the old masters; his interest in modern art was cultivated considerably later. Those early museum visits provided a sense of the origins and history of painting and instilled a love of drawing and the creative process.

In Shevlino's current work, the canvas has increasingly become a place to experiment with different techniques of paint application. He is particularly interested in exploring the line between the traditional representation of the figure and the abstraction of it, and his paintings reflect his simultaneous use of both approaches.

Scott Yeskel Los Angeles based artist Scott Yeskel has been painting his love/hate affair with Southern California since his relocation to the area six years ago. Traffic snarls, boxy apartments and occasional car crashes often act as Yeskel’s muse.

It is when Scott switches to his abstract work that his love affair with the spirit and color of the West appears. That’s right, Scott paints both abstract and representational landscapes, switching back and forth using many of the same colors and themes. Inspired by mid-century masters such as Diebenkorn and Richter, yet original in both content and style, Yeskel’s oil paintings are true statements of contemporary California living.

Yeskel’s frequent visits to Ventura have served as a nice respite to his hectic Hollywood neighborhood. The sea and crisp air inspired a current mix of colorful visions of the seaside town mixed in, of course, with his iconic L.A. cityscapes.

Robert Townsend Robert Townsend was born in Downey, CA. He paints highly finished images of the icons of an American Pop mythology. His unfailing eye for color and texture produce a vision of America’s material culture that vacillates between nostalgia for what is lost and optimism for the continuation of American ingenuity.
