Here we see Still Life with N.O. by Ryoko Tajiri, an acrylic on canvas, 20 inches high x 16 inches wide. Gallery owner Gold says, “Tajiri is a Japanese artist working out of San Francisco. She uses a highly unique painting technique in which she layers acrylic paints to build pigment, resulting in a cubist aesthetic.” © Ryoko Tajiri Courtesy of Gold Gallery

Enduring In
Enduring In by Jay Kelly. Collage and resin, 60 inches high x 48 inches. “Kelly’s black-and-white artwork shows a ’50s fashion model wearing a dress made of tiny pictures cut from original ’40s and ’50s art history books and French fashion magazines,” says Gold. “The pieces were applied with tweezers and covered with layers of resin. It’s smooth and captivating. It draws you in to see what’s going on, like pointillism.” © Jay Kelly Courtesy of Gold Gallery

Fly Away by Louise LeBourgeois. Oil on panel, 24 inches high x 30 inches. Gold says, “LeBourgeois, a Chicago-based painter, has an interest in horizons and is inspired by the constant flux of Lake Michigan’s waters.” © Louise LeBourgeois Courtesy of Gold Gallery
El Matador
El Matador by Christine Flynn. Photo with mixed media and resin, 30 inches high x 88 inches. “Toronto-based Flynn is an avid photographer who documents her travels across Canada and the U.S.,” says Gold. “Her photographs serve as backdrop for her pieces, on which she will use mixed-media materials such as electrical tape, stamps, and stencil. Each piece is sealed with a resin pour, giving it a high-gloss finish.” © Christine Flynn Courtesy of Gold Gallery
Rolling Cloud
Rolling Cloud by Christie Scheele. Oil on linen, 46 inches high x 68 inches. Gold says, “Christie Scheele works exclusively with oil on linen. She doesn’t paint landscape, per se, but tries to capture the atmosphere. Her work is simple, as her project involves reducing a scene to its essentials. In painting this way, viewers are inspired to build their own narrative when contemplating her work. A common response when people come in to the gallery and see one of Christie’s paintings is, ‘This reminds me of ….’ There is an instant connection when looking at her work.” © Christie Scheele Courtesy of Gold Gallery
