Art | Bernie
Art | Bernie showcases local Bay Area artists who tackle issues of social justice and the environment.
Throughout his life, presidential candidate Bernie Sanders has been consistently critical of racism, mass incarceration, police violence, the death penalty, the influence of the fossil fuel industry, and our deplorable lack of response to climate change. This exhibition gathers artists who are supporters of Bernie Sanders’ presidential run, and the issues which his campaign has propelled to the national spotlight. Half the value of all sales will be donated directly by buyers to the Bernie 2016 presidential campaign.
Jennifer Lugris’ paintings humanize and force us to confront the lives ended by the death penalty, while Kayan Cheung-Miaw’s comics and illustrations discuss issues of police brutality, and the experiences of people of color and immigrants.
Barbara Milman’s prints address how the ocean and coastal areas are affected by climate change, while Molly Segal’s watercolors allude to our complex relationship with oil.
Claire Lau’s plein air (outdoor) paintings seek to reestablish a relationship with the environment and reimagine the city without fossil fuels, while Melissa Louise Bolger’s drawings depict animals that have been threatened by human actions, and James Servais’drawings meditate on our bodily experiences with nature.
