ROBERT NELSON

"WHAT ?!!!"

Whimsical, recycled material assemblages. 

 Gallery 621's Show for August 2021 will be “WHAT ?!!!”  featuring Artist Robert Nelson.  Cast-off materials found just about anywhere but most often along the Benicia shoreline stir Robert's imagination and fulfill his sense of saving our planet one art piece at a time.  

Cracked, broken down, rusted materials that would have continued on to the Bay and the Ocean are redeemed. Even the clarinet is making a comeback.

California waterways and coastlines have been an influential part of Robert's life. His scouring of beaches and shorelines yields treasures Robert uses to create and sometimes tease us with very thought provoking and often witty assemblages.


Reception: August 7th 4-6PM
Gallery Hours: Thursday-Sunday, 12 to 6 pm

Auction for Gallery 621

https://www.32auctions.com/JerroldTurnerG621

A long-time member of Gallery 621, Jerrold Turner is offering this selection of artworks to be auctioned to benefit Gallery 621. Jerrold's generous offer recognizes the value of Gallery 621 as one of the Bay Area's premier galleries of contemporary art, as well as the difficulties galleries and artists have faced during the past year of sheltering-in-place and gallery closures.

Jerrold Turner is one of the Bay Area’s prominent Plein Air painters and a founding member of the Outsiders, a group of plein air painters whose colorful, Fauvist style relates back to such groups as the Society of Six, the Fauves and other colorist schools. Jerrold graduated from UC Berkeley with BS and MS degrees in engineering. He is primarily self-taught in art and painted with Lundy Siegriest and Terry St. John. His early influences were Daubigny, Matisse, William Keith, Seldon Gile and Lundy Siegriest.

Jerrold is very influential in the arts of the San Francisco Bay Area. He has exhibited extensively in solo and group shows and his art work is in collections throughout the United States.

Tiptoe Through The Tepco, Oil on Canvas

“My dishes, like the people in my life, have been collected one at a time for a wide variety of reasons and needs. Their visual relationship, as they are drying sink side, brings to mind the relationships I have to and with the people of my life. Some stand by themselves, some lean on others, some block the light from their neighbors and some reflect the one next to them in a distorted yet pleasing way that enhances the composition and allows the viewer to find comfort in a visually complicated work.
