From Electric Works:

In the main gallery, Electric Works' first group exhibition in its inaugural season features selected paintings and works on paper by artists Michelle Blade, Iva Gueorguieva, Amanda Hughen, Jason Jägel, Paul Madonna, Christina Mazza, Heidi McDowell, Michele Pred, Nathan Redwood, Julie Rofman, Travis Somerville, David Tomb, and Katherine Westerhout.

This exhibition offers an opportunity to see works by artists new to the gallery along with a preview of work from upcoming shows. Newcomers to the gallery include Michelle Blade whose warmly painted constellations of group experience continue to open new worlds to us; Christina Mazza and Heidi McDowell who, from very different different directions, tackle the subjects of flora and fauna with meticulous graphite drawings. Iva Gueorguieva and Julie Rofman, two painters from Los Angeles, will also be debuting at Electric Works. Gueorguieva's work, at first glance abstractions, reward the viewer with rich, layered stories—we are happy to introduce her work to the Bay Area. Rofman's paintings provide a view of aftermath—not necessarily a bad aftermath, but a certain calm after the storm. Also new to the gallery is Michele Pred, who is responsible for this show's mini-print—rest assured she has something very special planned.
