Gallery Paule Anglim is pleased to present an exhibition of recent works by Mark Paron and Elena Zolotnitsky. Both artists have been awarded the Jerome Caja Terrible Beauty Award presented by Visual Aid in recognition of outstanding work and significant achievement in the arts.

The Jerome Caja Terrible Beauty Award annually supports two specially selected artists from a grant provided by Jerome Caja's estate. For more about artist Jerome Caja, click here, and for a podcast about his work click here.

Originally from Moscow, Elena Zolotnitsky has developed a strong career in painting. Her figurative style finds its roots in the Social Realism style of 1920's Russia. On canvas and paper her images develop from planes of color.

Mark Paron has enlivened common materials into dynamic and witty shapes. For over 20 years he has made and exhibited work in San Francisco. His work can also be seen at the SFMoMA Artist Gallery.

Informal talk and walk-through tour by the artist

Whether landscape, figurative or abstract; Jerry Frost’s paintings consistently reveal a uniquely visceral relationship with his chosen medium. Frost prefers to utilize putty knives, rags, and the occasional pencil in creating his work. Quickly applying paint directly from the tube on to the canvas; Frost creates bold arrangements of color and form.

REMIX

A solo exhibition of mixed media paintings by Jenny Kahn,
Visual Aid, 116 New Montgomery St., Ste. 640, San Francisco
Gallery hours 10am - 6pm

Jenny Kahn, She Your Wife?, 2005, collage, oil paint, resin on canvas

These paintings evolved as the artist tried to give visual expression to a story she first imagined as a teenage girl growing up in New Orleans. She decided to turn the actual story into a graphic novel, but the paintings remain personal contemplations on gender identity.
