SUMMARY:after nature
DESCRIPTION:FIONA K. LAU\nAFTER NATURE\nJune 5–29\, 2026\nSecond Saturday Reception: June 13 at 5–8 p.m. \nAxis Gallery\n625 S St\nSacramento\, CA 95811\nGallery hours: Friday\, Saturday\, and Sunday\, 12 – 5pm \nIn after nature\, Fiona K. Lau examines our increasingly mediated relationship with the natural world through a series of paintings and installations that navigate the space between digital fascination and ecological crisis. The exhibition takes its title from Jedediah Purdy’s book\, which explores how nature as a notion of pure\, untouched wilderness no longer exists—if it ever did—and asks how genuine kinship can be forged in an era when human influence has transformed every ecosystem and the internet shapes our environmental consciousness. \nThe works in this exhibition embody this search for connection through their very making. They function as palimpsests\, layering diverse sources—personal records\, Chinese literati painting\, Japanese manga and pop culture\, internet-sourced photographs\, and AI-generated images and texts—into compositions where paint and line\, figure and ground\, shift and slip against one another. Strange reactions emerge between mark-making\, layered imagery\, fluid space and surfaces\, the invisible and the visible\, and emergence and disappearance in dialogue. They mirror our contemporary relationship with nature—mediated\, fragmented\, yet resonant. \nafter nature offers neither solutions nor nostalgia but rather a contemplative space to reconsider how we see\, know\, and care for the more-than-human world in an age of digital saturation and ecological transformation. \nABOUT THE ARTIST \nFiona K. Lau is a Sacramento-based painter whose work explores the relationships of land\, environment\, and belonging. Born in British Hong Kong and raised in Canada\, she had worked in environmental pollution research and international aid across sub-Saharan Africa. Her practice is deeply influenced by experiences of shifting cultures and a background in scientific training\, creating layered works that bridge different realms of experience to reveal tensions and hidden constructs. \nLau’s work has been exhibited in Seattle\, Atlanta\, New York\, Philadelphia\, and internationally in Japan and Canada and is featured in public collections in Kent\, WA\, and Chamblee\, GA. She has completed artist residencies at the Vermont Studio Center\, Ox-Bow School of Art & Artists’ Residency\, and Verge Center for the Arts in the US; OCAD University in Toronto\, Canada; and AiR Yamanashi in Kofu\, Japan. Lau is the recipient of the 2025 Creative Growth Fellowship awarded by the City of Sacramento’s Office of Arts and Culture and is a member of Axis Gallery in Sacramento. \nfionaklau.com

SUMMARY:IMMORAL UNTIL PROFITABLE
DESCRIPTION:KENNETH JORDAN\nIMMORAL UNTIL PROFITABLE\nJune 5–28\, 2026\nSecond Saturday Reception: June 13\, 5–8 p.m. \nAxis Gallery\n625 S St\nSacramento\, CA 95811\nGallery hours: Friday\, Saturday\, and Sunday\, 12–5 p.m. \nAxis Gallery is pleased to present Immoral Until Profitable by Kenneth Jordan \nJazz is one of America’s greatest innovations; born from creativity\, collaboration\, and resilience. Yet like many American art forms created by marginalized communities\, jazz was first condemned before it was celebrated. \nReligious leaders called it immoral.\nCritics called it primitive.\nRespectable society called it dangerous.\nBut the music didn’t disappear. It evolved. It spread.\nAnd once it became profitable\, condemnation gave way to consumption. \nImmoral Until Profitable examines a recurring American pattern: reject\, resist\, rebrand\, monetize. \nThrough portraiture\, text\, and layered materials drawn from newspapers and public rhetoric\, this exhibition highlights both the brilliance of jazz and the cultural forces that once tried to suppress it. What was once feared became profitable. What was once dismissed became foundational. This show uses jazz as a lens to ask a broader question: What are we condemning today that we will eventually consume? \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. \nABOUT THE ARTIST \nKenneth Jordan is a California based painter whose practice centers on large-scale works that command attention through bold composition\, layered materials\, and expressive use of color. His work explores the intersection of history and visual storytelling\, examining how cultural ideas evolve over time; how they are shaped\, challenged\, and ultimately redefined. Raised in a deeply creative environment\, Kenneth was influenced early on by a family of artists\, including his great uncle\, renown Disney animator Marc Davis\, whose contributions to classic Disney films helped shape his understanding of art as a powerful narrative force. \nWebsite: https://www.kennethjordanart.com\nInstagram: @k.jordanart

What was once feared became profitable. What was once dismissed became foundational. This show uses jazz as a lens to ask a broader question: What are we condemning today that we will eventually consume? \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. \nABOUT THE ARTIST \nKenneth Jordan is a California based painter whose practice centers on large-scale works that command attention through bold composition\, layered materials\, and expressive use of color. His work explores the intersection of history and visual storytelling\, examining how cultural ideas evolve over time; how they are shaped\, challenged\, and ultimately redefined. Raised in a deeply creative environment\, Kenneth was influenced early on by a family of artists\, including his great uncle\, renown Disney animator Marc Davis\, whose contributions to classic Disney films helped shape his understanding of art as a powerful narrative force. \nWebsite: https://www.kennethjordanart.com\nInstagram: @k.jordanart
