July Art Exhibit : You Can Have It All

Artist: Ani Thompkins

Opening Reception: July 10th, 6 - 9pm

Oakland artist Ani Thompkins presents a collection of paintings preoccupied with intimacy, sensuality, and the space between.

A relationship is built between viewer and painting through intentionally person-sized canvases, stained with viscous paint and ink without protection of a primer. Light is allowed to pass through the material. The abstracted figures and vivid color evoke limbs and curves in some pieces, moodiness and strong emotion in others, always allowing interaction and interpretation.

About the Artist:

Ani holds a BFA from San Francisco Art Institute and has been active in the Bay Area art scene for many years.  Her paintings have been widely exhibited in California and Oregon and are held in private collections across the country.

During the Opening Reception, enjoy finger foods and free wine tasting with the winemaker. Wines sold by the glass for $5.

Ani’s art will hang throughout the month of July in case you can’t make it on July 10th. Feel free to visit during Tasting Room/Gallery hours.
