JOHN PENCE GALLERY PRESENTS ‘FLORALS’ GROUP SHOW w/1 cut

Avv/gs set 3/12 #731749

SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF. — The John Pence Gallery presents “Florals,” an invitational exhibition of works by some of today’s top American Realists, on view through April 5.

This group show features artists from across the country, including; Juliette Aristides, William Bartlett, Sarah Lamb, Dean Larson, Dana Levin, Steven Levin, Edward Minoff, Christopher Pierce, Travis Schlaht and Will Wilson. This stable of artists have worked to create a diverse and contemporary showing of this classic genre.

A full spectrum of arrangements will be on display — from bouquets rendered in lush explosions of color to simple, intimate studies of a single rose. Each artist handles the technical challenge that the floral presents, giving the collector a wide array of choices — the highly sought after and meticulously rendered work of Will Wilson, the subtle gestural approach of Sarah Lamb, the epic masterworks of Christopher Pierce, the rich, creamy colors of Steven Levin, the translucent, pastel hues of William Bartlett, and the glowing radiant roses of Juliette Aristides.

The gallery is at 750 Post Street. For information, www.johnpence.com or 415-441-1138.
