SUMMARY:The Artery Menagerie
DESCRIPTION:“The Artery Menagerie” is a unique exhibit that celebrates the art of ceramics.

The show is in conjunction with CCACA\, the annual ceramic sculpture conference\, at the John Natsoulas Gallery. We will be open until 9 on April 24 during this ceramic conference. We also will have a reception on April 10\, 6 to 9 as part of Davis ArtAbout.

SUMMARY:The Abstract Language of Ceramics
DESCRIPTION:The Abstract Language of Ceramics\nExhibit: April 10 – June 3\, 2026\nReception: April 10\, 6-9 PM (Free) \nThe Abstract Language of Ceramics features the work of ceramic artists Karyn Gabriel\, Mark Goudy\, Kris Marubayashi\, Liza Riddle\, and Laura Van Duren. Together\, these artists create striking geometric and biomorphic forms that underline their pursuit of simple forms inspired by nature. Karyn Gabriel’s woven vessels and hangings merge the idea of fiber and weaving with the flexible nature of clay. Goudy’s current sculptures are modeled on mathematical equations\, which he adapts on the computer\, using new technology to design and create molded forms. Kris Marubayashi’s vessels have a sense of movement and balance\, and employ natural textures and an earth-toned palette. Liza Riddle’s modified cubes\, hanging plinths\, and circles use color sparingly to emphasize the beauty of cracks that form while drying. Laura Van Duren shows a playful incorporation of found objects\, textiles\, and clay\, closely resembling the corporal reality of human interaction. \nThis exhibit is sponsored by Hollie Malamud & Chris Kelsch\, and Helen McClosky\, in memory of ceramicist Shelly Simon. \nImage:\nLaura Van Duren\, “Curl”\nKris Marubayashi\, Untitled\nKaryn Gabriel\, “Aspen Brick”\nMark Goudy\, “Flux Series”\nLiza Riddle\, Untitled

SUMMARY:Artist Talk with Doug Dertinger and Nick Shepard
DESCRIPTION:Artists Doug Dertinger and Nick Shepard will be in conversation on their current exhibitions at Axis Gallery in downtown Sacramento. Please come join us. \nDOUG DERTINGER\nTRILOGY 2: STALKER (Сталкер) \nApril 3–26\, 2026\nSecond Saturday Reception: April 11\, 5–8 PM \nStalker (Сталкер) explores work from the Doug Dertinger’s 2000 to 2010 photographic archives. Named after Andrei Tarkovsky’s 1979 film\, the images in Stalker navigate terrains where emptiness\, silence\, and light can become conditions of consciousness\, where place can shift from environment to presence\, wholly other\, sentient and responsive. \nStalker is the second of three exhibitions derived from the artist’s archives. I Have Loved You for So Long (Il y a longtemps que je t’aime)\, 2025\, utilized correspondence\, ephemera\, snapshots\, and photographic works from 1991 to 2000\, years when the artist was primarily in school. A future exhibition planned for 2027\, Goodbye\, Children (Au revoir les enfants)\, will explore his archives from 2010 to 2020. \nABOUT THE ARTIST \nDoug Dertinger is a photographer and educator living and working in Northern California. His work has been exhibited nationally and internationally and is in the permanent collections of the Princeton University Art Museum and St. Mary’s University Art Gallery\, Nova Scotia. He holds a BFA in Fine Arts from Colorado State University and an MFA in Fine and Media Arts from the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design\, and currently lives in Sacramento\, CA where he is a Professor within the Design Department of CSU Sacramento. \nNICK SHEPARD\nTHE KNOWN WORLD \nApril 3–26\, 2026\nSecond Saturday Reception: April 11\, 5–8 PM \nAxis Gallery is pleased to present The Known World\, a solo exhibition by Nick Shepard that functions as a mini-retrospective\, bringing together photographs dating back as far as 2010. \nThe Known World contains images that vary in subject matter and technique but remain grounded in Shepard’s ongoing concern with how photographs are built\, how spaces are assembled\, and what is concealed in the process. The show includes work that looks at the contemporary world specifically through the lens of master painting as well as images that explore modern ideas more through abstraction and physical intervention. \nShepard’s early work used Dutch genres and styles as a strategy to reframe the familiar range and complexity of everyday American life. At a distance Blossoms of Silk and Polyester is alluring. But on closer examination it is clear that Shepard has replaced the glorious flowers in paintings like those of Ambrosius Bosschaert with inexpensive stems from the Dollar Tree\, while the table’s wood veneer peels away to reveal its cheap construction underneath. \nOther works look more directly at the substructure of images and spaces. Several pictures feature unstable or provisional structures. A house mid-reconstruction after a fire\, its roof exposed and the disaster still palpably present. A rickety studio construction assembled from scraps of wood\, loose screws\, and rubber bands\, photographed at the edge of collapse. These haphazard structures evoke an instability that hums in the background—sometimes barely noticeable\, sometimes impossible to ignore\, and quietly exhausting over time. \nOne of the earliest images in the exhibition makes that tenuousness explicit. The 2010 photograph The Day Laborers (Segundo and Rafael) anchors the exhibition’s engagement with the current political climate. As the Trump administration continues to target day laborers with brown skin and Latino names\, these two men stand in for the countless unsung workers who have quite literally built the world around us\, even as they themselves are treated as expendable. \nIn conjunction with the photographs\, Shepard constructs a temporary wall down the center of the gallery\, creating an obstacle that viewers must navigate in order to see the work. As in previous exhibitions\, this intervention both divides the space and calls attention to the gallery’s physical construction. The wall introduces provisional surfaces for hanging while generating new sightlines and unfamiliar spatial relationships between images and viewers. \nNot so much a conclusive survey as an opportunity to take stock\, The Known World is shaped by movement through the gallery and by what is alternately revealed and blocked from view. Meaning emerges through proximity and interruption\, as photographs\, walls\, and viewers are pressed into shifting relationships with one another.” “Nick Shepard’s work ranges from photography to installation and sculpture. \nRegardless of medium\, he explores the construction and consumption of images\, objects\, and spaces. He is based in Sacramento\, where he is an Associate Professor of Photography at Sacramento State University and an active member of Axis Gallery. Shepard’s work has appeared at the Crocker Art Museum in Sacramento\, the Center for Photography at Woodstock\, the Wassaic Project\, Disjecta Contemporary Art Center\, Holland Project\, and Site: Brooklyn. He received his MFA from the School of Visual Arts in NYC\, and his BA in Studio Art and Art History from Carleton College.
