SUMMARY:New Paintings by Pat Mahony
DESCRIPTION:The John Natsoulas Gallery is proud to present the newest exhibition of paintings by Sacramento-based artist\, Pat Mahony. The works in her exhibition\, all created within the last year\, are representative of her travels throughout California and to Hawaii. She captures endemic and tropical vegetation in her iconic\, impressionistic style.  \nPat Mahony’s natural environment serves as her greatest source of inspiration. She transforms the beauty of the world\, and the “perfect chaos” that signifies the ever-changing impressions imparted by the way that light can alter a moment. She is known for successfully matching the “wildness of nature with a wild and physical application of paint.” Pat Mahony was born in Southern California\, and studied printmaking and oil painting at the University of California\, Santa Barbara. During the 1980s\, she primarily showed her watercolors\, many of which were architectural scenes. After her early painting successes\, she took some time off to pursue other endeavors. Her desire to return to oil painting coincided with her move to a rural property along the Sacramento River. The resulting landscape paintings that she produced over the successive years were large-scale in format and were a strong representation of that land. Her later works\, painted after she relocated to the region near the American River\, became more focused on individual components within nature\, as she went on long walks along the river. She has achieved minute detail within her painting\, utilizing the scale to emphasize particular elements.  \nIn this exhibition she explores scale across multiple canvases\, creating a diptych and a quadriptych\, allowing for greater immersion and artistic presence. Mahony can best be categorized as a colorist\, with a style derived from the Impressionists and Post-Impressionists\, which is well suited for capturing the fleeting moments that begin and end in such rapid succession in the natural world. Her paintings are a balance between abstraction and representation. Immortalizing the vibrancy of the Sacramento Valley natural environment is key to her work\, and her dazzling painting captures the beauty of the beloved flora and landscape she calls home.  \nThe exhibition’s opening reception is to be held on Saturday\, May 30 from 7:00-9:00 PM. It will feature live music and refreshments. All are well\, and the event is free! \n

SUMMARY:60 Years of Mark Bulwinkle
DESCRIPTION:The John Natsoulas Gallery is proud to announce a major retrospective exhibition of the work of acclaimed Funk artist Mark Bulwinkle\, opening June 2026. Spanning two floors of the gallery\, this landmark exhibition will survey six decades of the artist’s prolific career and explore the full breadth of his creative practice. \nThis exhibition\, the first to consider every aspect of the artist’s significant career\, will address Mark Bulwinkle’s interests in printmaking\, ceramics\, and metal sculpture. His distinctive artworks will be accompanied by an array of archival materials – photographs\, publications\, and ephemera – that all highlight his expansive body of work. The exhibition will follow a chronological arc\, presenting his earliest forays into printmaking and ceramics and to his later development into one of the most well-known metal sculptors of today. The organization of the exhibition will highlight his place alongside fellow artists who also pioneered West Coast art movements. \nMark Bulwinkle (b. 1946) was born in Massachusetts and he graduated from the University of Pittsburgh with a BFA in 1968. As an anti-war proponent\, he naturally gravitated toward the counterculture ideals of the West Coast\, where he delved into the Funk Movement and the Hippy Art scene. After completing an MFA at the San Francisco Art Institute in printmaking he also attended the San Francisco John O’Connell Trade School to study industrial welding. From there\, he used those skills as a shipbuilder at Bethlehem Ship Yards for over a decade. In 1987\, he became a full time artist\, combining his knowledge of printmaking with welding to create torch-cut metal cutouts. As pioneer of this medium\, Bulwinkle quickly gained international notoriety\, and he showed in museums and galleries across the world. National publication also covered the transformation of his own property as a sculpture-filled landmark he called the eponymous “Bulwinkleland\,” earning him a larger-than-life reputation for the bizarre. Many have imitated his techniques and style\, but no one marches his singular ability to blend humor\, provocation\, and technical mastery. Today\, Bulwinkle remains a vital force in contemporary art\, producing prints\, sculptures\, and ceramics that challenge convention and celebrate the absurd. \n“Close friends and fellow artists have remarked that Mark does not make art. He makes Bulwinkles.” \nThe exhibition’s opening reception is to be held to coincide with the Downtown Davis 2nd Friday ArtAbout on July 10 from 7:00-9:00 PM. It will feature live music and refreshments.

SUMMARY:Stage Ready Band Workshops
DESCRIPTION:Seven weekly rehearsals. Two live performances. One unforgettable summer. \nWhether you’ve dreamed of joining a band for years or simply want to get beyond practicing alone\,\nStage Ready lets you experience live music from the inside. \nWhen you join the Stage Ready program\, you’ll be matched with fellow musicians from your community. Together\, you’ll build a setlist\, shape your arrangements\, and rehearse as a band at Watermelon Music\, a long-standing Davis institution. Then you’ll take the stage at The Melon Ball performance hall\, and a second public performance at a local venue in Yolo County. \nAlong the way\, you’ll be guided by a professional coach with stage experience\, who will be present at every rehearsal. They’ll give advice\, help solve musical and logistical challenges\, and keep your band on schedule and on track for opening night. \nStage Ready isn’t a sightseeing tour of the music scene. It’s a real band experience. You pick the songs. You shape the sound. You play the show. No backing tracks. No canned accompaniment. Just musicians working together to create something memorable. \nAlong the way\, you’ll develop critical performance skills\, learn how to work effectively with other musicians\, and build connections that can last far beyond the program. The final performance isn’t necessarily the end of the story – it might just be your band’s first gig.

SUMMARY:Slice: A Juried Exhibit of Regional Art
DESCRIPTION:Slice: A Juried Exhibit of Regional Art\nExhibit: July 10 – August 16\, 2026\nReception: July 10\, 6-9 PM (Awards at 8 PM) \nSlice celebrates the diversity of expression in our region with an array of sculpture\, prints\, paintings\, and photography created by 36 visual artists. This year marks the 14th anniversary of the Pence’s regional call to artists\, affectionately called Slice. Representing a ‘slice’ of work fresh from the studio produced by new and established artists working in the state\, this annual juried exhibit has quickly gained a reputation for displaying innovative and thought-provoking work. The selected work is chosen by the juror for its merit rather than its ability to fit within any particular theme or concept. As with any juried ‘open theme’ selection\, the connections between the artworks can prove to be mind-bending or head-scratching. \nGioia Fonda is this year’s juror of Slice. Fonda is an interdisciplinary artist working primarily in two-dimensional media (painting\, drawing\, sewing\, and photography) with occasional forays in sculpture\, social practice\, and public art. She tends to work in a colorful and non-objective manner\, but just under the surface\, her work is often imbued with storytelling and narrative. She has a bi-coastal art education\, having earned a BFA at the California College of the Arts and an MFA at the School of Visual Arts in New York. Gioia is a dedicated member of the Sacramento art community\, contributing as an artist\, curator\, jurist\, and collaborator. She is also a tenured professor of art at Sacramento City College\, where she teaches painting\, drawing\, and design. Her work has been exhibited widely throughout Northern California and is held in many private and public collections throughout the U.S. \nImage: Michael Larson\, “Day Turns to Night #2”

SUMMARY:Mirabel Wigon: Earth Stars
DESCRIPTION:Mirabel Wigon: Earth Stars\nExhibit: July 10 – August 16\, 2026\nReception: July 10\, 6-9 PM (Free) \nMirabel Wigon’s Earth Stars brings together her expansive new series of botanical inspired paintings. Working in oil and acrylic on canvas\, her paintings have an illustrative quality\, immersing the viewer in imaginative worlds where flora works in tandem with geometric forms. Contrasting elements of line and shape collaborate with one another\, inventing dynamic universes with enchanting qualities. The surreal nature of her paintings is augmented by the use of augmented reality technology\, in which viewers can see forms take 3D form. As if depicting evolutionary scenes\, Wigon creates dioramas of sublime floral transformation. \nImage: Mirabel Wigon\, “Celestial Lattice”

SUMMARY:Align & Flow Yoga

SUMMARY:Surface Tension by Roma Devanbu
DESCRIPTION:ROMA DEVANBU\nSURFACE TENSION\nJuly 3 – August 2\, 2026 \nSecond Saturday Reception July 11th\, 5-8 PM \nRoma Devanbu has been making and exhibiting her paintings and mix-media work for decades. In Surface Tension\, her first exhibit exclusively of photographs\, we see her hungry painters eye hunting and gathering brush marks\, patterns and textures in the wide world around her. \nDevanbu says “Inside the studio I manipulate materials. I rub\, tear\, fold\, cut\, glue and paint to create images on paper and canvas. When I leave the studio my creative actions gain a broader context and I understand my gestures as echoes of larger elemental forces acting on natural and man-made surfaces.” \nThe photographs in this exhibition are records of a physical world in which materials collide\, collaborate\, stretch\, erode\, rust\, scratch\, drape\, freeze and embrace. \nThe subjects are approached in an unapologetically straight forward manner\, presenting the plain facts within the scope of her viewfinder. But\, each title includes a date and time\, down to the second\, reminding us that the unique set of circumstances is temporary and will be disrupted by the influence of reorganization or entropy. \nThe exhibition is dedicated to the memory of the gallerist/photo historian Alan Klotz and the photographer/educator Philip Perkis. Devanbu first met and studied with Klotz and Perkis while earning her MFA in painting from Pratt Institute in the mid 1980’s. \nABOUT THE ARTIST\nRoma Devanbu is a long time member of Axis Gallery and its current president. She is a studio resident at Verge Center for the Arts. Devanbu holds a BFA from Carnegie Mellon University\, an MFA from Pratt Institute and studied Asian Art History for one year at the University of Baroda in India. She was a full time tenured faculty member at Bergen Community College in NJ before moving to Davis\, CA where she lives with her husband\, the computer scientist Premkumar Devanbu. Her work is in private and corporate collections in the US and abroad and can be seen in many Northern California hospitals. For more info visit her website at roma.devanbu.com.

SUMMARY:Who are Orientals: Magenta Realism
DESCRIPTION:SHARON TSAO\nWHO ARE ORIENTALS: MAGENTA REALISM\nJuly 3 – August 2\, 2026\nSecond Saturday Reception: July 11\, 5–8 PM \nAbout forty years ago\, when I first came to California\, I was told that I was “Oriental.” I was also told that certain tables and chests were “Oriental\,” and that a particular decorative style was likewise considered “Oriental\,” even though these things looked unfamiliar to me. \nThe works in this exhibition are largely produced in what I was told is an “Oriental” style or manner. They originate from dried Boston ivy vines resembling twisted tree branches\, gathered after years of growth without human intervention and coated with an artificial magenta surface. \nThe application of magenta coating violently interrupts this natural index. Historically\, magenta is among the first fully synthetic modern pigments\, inseparable from industrial chemistry\, mechanical reproduction\, and the chromatic excess of modernity. Here\, color no longer functions descriptively\, but operatively. The magenta surface transforms the dead vines into unstable signs oscillating between the imagined seductions of the “Oriental” and the chromatic excess of industrial modernity\, between contamination and ritual\, and between transcendence and artifice. If the branches retain the temporality of decay\, the color introduces what Jean Baudrillard might describe as the logic of simulation: reality intensified precisely through its artificiality. \nThe works also echo a reversed form of classical Chinese literati aesthetics. Where traditional literati painting often pursued “compression through weathered emptiness” — reducing the world into ink\, void\, and gesture — these works enact a compression through chromatic saturation. The tangled vine becomes a condensed structure of historical memory\, while magenta operates almost as a contemporary counterpart to ink: not natural\, but hyper-artificial; not withdrawn\, but aggressively present. \nSuspended between objecthood and theatricality\, ruin and ornament\, realism and hallucination\, the works propose a different understanding of realism itself. Reality here is not achieved through representation\, but through direct material presence complicated by cultural coding\, synthetic color\, and the unstable perceptual systems through which contemporary viewers encounter nature. \nJoin us at Axis Gallery\, located at 625 S Street in Sacramento’s historic R Street Corridor\, within the Verge Center for the Arts building. The gallery has exhibited innovative contemporary art for over 35 years and continues to serve as a vital space for artists to explore\, connect\, and share work outside the commercial sphere.\nGallery hours: Friday–Sunday\, 12–5 PM \nABOUT THE ARTIST \nSharon Tsao is a sculptor\, art historian\, and educator whose work explores the intersections of nature\, memory\, cultural identity\, and material transformation. She received a B.A. in Sculpture from the China Academy of Art in 1982 and earned a Ph.D. in Art History from Stanford University in 1996. Tsao has taught Art History at Postsecondary Educational institutions\, where she supervised graduate research in art history.\nHer works have been exhibited\, collected\, and auctioned internationally\, and are held in private and public collections in Asia\, North America\, and Europe.

SUMMARY:Adding Stones to Rise A Group Exhibition of Sacramento-Based Artists
DESCRIPTION:Adding Stones to Rise\nA Group Exhibition of Sacramento-Based Artists\nArtist and Curator: Adero Willard \nMay 1 – May 29\, 2026\nSecond Saturday Reception: Saturday\, May 9\, 5–8 PM \nAdding Stones to Rise is a curated group exhibition bringing together Sacramento-based artists working across multiple media\, including painting\, printmaking\, ceramics\, sculpture\, and new media. The title was developed in response to the work and writings of the artists in the exhibition and to the regional presence of rivers that move through and around Sacramento. Water becomes a point of connection—flowing\, sustaining\, eroding\, nurturing\, and reshaping. It can lift\, carry\, overwhelm\, or renew. The flow of a river may also be understood simply as the movement of material through the earth. In this context\, adding stones may suggest burden\, accumulation\, protection\, labor\, or foundation; rising may evoke resistance\, healing\, survival\, visibility\, or change. \nArtists were selected to create a diversity of voice\, perspective\, process\, medium\, and identity\, speaking to the expansiveness of Blackness and representing a collective of varying experiences. Each point is distinct\, yet inseparable from the whole—reflecting how identity\, particularly Blackness\, can be understood as fluid\, relational\, and non-monolithic. \nAdding Stones to Rise centers the work of Black women and nonbinary artists—new to the region\, rooted here\, or returning. Together\, these artists offer a collective meditation on movement\, care\, resistance\, and transformation. This exhibition is one moment in an ongoing story. It is not the first of its kind\, and it will not be the last. \nCuratorial Note: As a curatorial framework\, stones\, water\, and rivers function as metaphors for ideas brought together in this space and may not reflect the specific themes or content of each artist’s work. \nParticipating Artists\nDebra Pitman\, Laurelin Gilmore\, Amari More\, Victoria Kinyanjui\, Khalia Morris\, Tasha Green\, Delgreta Brown\, Alex Lowe\, Sabrina Clark\, Tasha Nicole \nPress Contact\n[Adero Willard] [potterybyadero@gmail.com |
