California Dreaming: Plein-Air Painting from San Francisco to San Diego
Released: April 25, 2013This exhibition presents a selection of early 20th-century paintings that celebrate the specific topography and climactic effects associated with the regional landscape from San Francisco to San Diego. Adapting certain strategies of French Impressionism, the artists created a style that has become the hallmark of what is commonly termed Californian Plein-Air Painting, or California Impressionism. The avantgarde movement of French Impressionism, preoccupied with capturing immediate effects of light, color and atmosphere, burst upon the world in 1874. By the turn of the century, Impres...

Ken Bortolazzo: Equipoise
Released: June 21, 2012Sullivan Goss is pleased to announce, Equipoise, the fifth solo show for sculptor Ken Bortolazzo. Working with stainless steel, Bortolazzo has taken a marked departure from his past work, which focused largely on Optikinetics and geo-puzzle forms. Where previously the aesthetic of his sculptures worked from the angularity of planes and panels of steel, he has now softened his edges and angles to create lyrical, biomorphic, and linear works. One work looks like birds in a skein, cruising deftly through the sky. Another appears as a flower in full bloom,...
SIDNEY GORDIN: Just Put it Together
Released: May 12, 2012Sullivan Goss – An American Gallery presents SIDNEY GORDIN: Just Put it Together, a new exhibition from the Estate of the Artist. Spanning more than half a century (1943-1991), the works in this exhibition explore the collage-like process of adding one element to another until a work takes shape that defined Gordin’s ouevre. This process unites a widely varied body of work - from the energetic brushwork of his early Abstract Expressionist experiments, to the angularity of his wood constructions, to the whimsy of his Bay Area work paintings and sculptures. Born in Russia, Sidney Go...
ANDERS ALDRIN: The Red Line
Released: March 15, 2012Sullivan Goss – An American Gallery presents ANDERS ALDRIN: THE RED LINE. Swedish born Anders Aldrin (1899-1970) moved to Los Angeles in 1923 with a passion for painting that had been suppressed for most of his life. An artist with limited financial means, Aldrin could only paint when he had spare time. Without a car in a famously unwalkable city, he would hop on the Red Car Line and paint the cityscapes, people, and bridges of the modern wonder that was Los Angeles. As the glamour of Old Hollywood gave way to the power plants and steam stacks of the imminent future, Aldrin succe...
