Press Release

The George Adams Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition of recent works by Lynda Dann and Elisa D’Arrigo, opening Saturday, May 4 at Minnesota Street Projects, San Francisco. This is both artists’ first exhibition with the gallery. Lynda Dann, a painter based in Oakland, and Elisa D’Arrigo, a sculptor based in New York, both draw inspiration from the natural world, channeling their unique interpretations through distinct mediums. Dann’s paintings, hovering between realism and surrealism, feature imagery derived from tangible or imagined elements found in landscapes. From oversized gourds to celestial constellations against a night sky, works such as Constellation (2023) and Murmur (2022) are imbued with textures both familiar and otherworldly.

D’Arrigo’s ceramic sculptures, crafted on a small scale, similarly offer a tactile exploration of our environment. In a parallel to Dann’s paintings, D'Arrigo’s works are animated forms, boasting hollow crevices and cylindrical extrusions adorned with intricate glazes. Sculptures such as Making a Move 6 (2022), On the Spot 4 (2023), and On the Move 2 (2023) appear to be in a state of motion, frozen in a moment of transition. D’Arrigo’s distinct style lies in the individuality of each sculpture, where every piece boasts a unique composition and surface texture, achieved through meticulous layering of glazes.

Lynda Dann was born in Berkeley, California. She attended San Jose State University and the Academy of Art College, San Francisco, between 1979 and 1983. She has been exhibiting throughout the Bay Area since 1984, most recently in the 2023 DeYoung Museum “Open.”

Elisa D’Arrigo, born and raised in the Bronx, NY, earned her BFA in ceramics from the State University of NY at New Paltz in 1975. D’Arrigo has exhibited regularly in New York since the 1990s, where she was represented for many years by the Elizabeth Harris Gallery. D’Arrigo’s work is in the collections of public institutions such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, NY; the High Museum of Art, Atlanta, GA; the Mint Museum, Charlotte, NC; the Everson Museum of Art, Syracuse, NY; and the Mead Art Museum at Amherst College, Amherst, MA.

The exhibition will open at Minnesota Street Projects on Saturday, May 4 from 5 to 7pm and will run through the month. Both artists will be present for the reception.
