SUMMARY:DISTANT EXISTENCE: Paintings by Samuel Kampelman Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:DISTANT EXISTENCE: Paintings by Samuel Kampelman Exhibition\nOpening Reception: Saturday\, November 2\, 7-9 p.m.\nOn view: November 2\, 2024 – January 2025\, at Michelle Thomas Fine Art Gallery + Studio \nSamuel Kampelman is an abstract representational painter living in St. Louis\, Missouri. He received his BFA in painting from the Maryland Institute College of Art and then attended Indiana University–Bloomington to pursue his MFA in painting. “My paintings are influenced by my curiosity about the spaces and beings we have yet to discover\,” he says\, “A fascination with the unknown fuels my imagination\, prompting me to envision how these imagined entities and environments might exist in distant\, unexplored realms. My art bridges the fantastical and tangible\, inviting viewers to ponder the limitless possibilities of existence beyond our current understanding.” \nKampelman’s interdisciplinary process begins with collecting and manipulating recycled materials\, which he cuts and assembles into sculptures that embody the concepts he seeks to visualize. These sculptures are suspended from strings and placed within an enclosed\, constructed space\, which he strategically lights to enhance their visual impact. The interplay of light and shadow in this controlled environment creates dynamic\, ever-changing scenes that provide visual references for his oil paintings. “I aim to spark a sense of wonder and invite viewers to embark on their journeys of discovery\,” Kampelman says\, “By merging the abstract with the representational\, I hope to inspire a deeper appreciation for the mysteries that lie beyond our immediate perception and encourage imaginative exploration of the unknown.” \nCalendar – Bernal Heights and Beyond\nMichelle Thomas Fine Art Gallery\nMichelle Thomas Fine Art Gallery sits at the intersection of Bernal Heights\, Noe Valley\, and the Mission in San Francisco. We feature emerging and established artists worldwide in dialogue with Bay Area icons working across media and genres. These artists are meticulous in their technique\, compelled to make meaning from chaos and identify the profound in the pedestrian. The Gallery references a global\, cosmopolitan heritage alongside Western art and design history\, refusing marginality and the deskilled\, folk\, naive identity often imposed upon creatives from non-Western contexts. Our program defies neat curatorial categories\, with presentations that prioritize rare poetic concerns or merge dissimilar materials to establish a singular aesthetic. \nHardy Hanson: IN THE SPRING\nBernal ConnectMike Doherty serves as Chief Experience Officer at Greening Projects\, a nonprofit organization dedicated to transforming underutilized urban spaces into vibrant green areas
