RIGO 23 June 14 - July 22, 2023 Gallery Paule Anglim is pleased to announce an exhibition of new works by RIGO 23. The artist will show new large canvases (presented as tarps on the wall) with graphic black-and-white imagery referring to current global events and American culture's distance from them. RIGO 23 has exhibited his work internationally for over 20 years, placing murals, paintings, sculptures, and tile work in public situations where viewers are encouraged to examine their relationship to their community, their role as unwitting advocates of public policy or their place on a planet occupied by many other living things. RIGO's works live both as artworks and as thoughtful public interventions. RIGO's graphic imagery borrows stylistically from signage, advertising, popular cartoons, and newsprint photography. To realize his images, RIGO paints on large tarps and often directly on walls. Sometimes he employs tile work, a craft popular in his native Portugal. A mid-career survey exhibition of RIGO's work, Jam Sessions: RIGO 84 � 23, is traveling from The Centro das Artes, Casa das Mudas in Madeira, Portugal onward to Lisbon and Rio de Janeiro and Brasilia, Brazil in 2007. In October of 2005, a commissioned outdoor sculpture was dedicated on the campus of San Jose State University. RIGO depicted the two 1968 Olympic athletes, Tommie Smith and Juan Carlos in a larger-than-life version of their fisted salute. In 2004 a large mural work was presented at the Orange County Biennial. A graduate of the San Francisco Art Institute (BFA) and Stanford University (MFA), RIGO has also been awarded public commissions for the San Francisco International Airport, the Gerbode Foundation and the San Francisco Arts Commission, as well as permanent murals and terrazzo walks in Portugal. His much publicized San Francisco murals, �One Tree� and �Inner City Home� have made him a spokesperson for urban San Francisco residents. RIGO is completing a project for RARE, a program sponsored by a consortium of museums, linking Artists with UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art presented him with the SECA Award in 1999. A reception for the artist will be held Thursday, June15th from 5:30 � 7:30 p.m. Image: May 31, 2023, 2006 Ink and acrylic on unstretched canvas, 42" x 96" The Art of Robert Pimple June 14 - July 22, 2023 Gallery Paule Anglim announces the upcoming exhibition, a special presentation, The Art of Robert Pimple. The worlds of High and Low art meet in new works featured in this exhibition. Acclaimed for his work in the street as a graffiti artist and for his painted installations in galleries, museums and art festivals around the world, the artist crafts a visual language that makes itself understood. It is public, addressing social concerns of urban life, and very private, elaborating a unique personal style that focuses on humanity, one painstakingly detailed, fine brush-painted image at a time. An opening reception will be held on Thursday, June 15th from 5:30 - 7:30 p.m. Image: Untitled, 2006 Ballpoint and ink on paper, 10" x 8" CLARE ROJAS June 14 - July 22, 2023 Gallery Paule Anglim announces its upcoming exhibition, �Moody Loner�, featuring new work by Clare Rojas. The artist will present new paintings in her signature gouache technique placing figures in a crisp and colorful landscape. Combining features of cartoon and folk art, her paintings depict sexual role reversals with the male as the object of a critical (and mocking!) female gaze. Rojas blends ironic spice into the expected charm of her visual treats. A solo exhibition of the artist's paintings will be presented at Brandeis' Rose Museum this fall. With a recent presentation at the Prague Biennial, Rojas has exhibited extensively, including other solo exhibitions at Deitch Projects in New York, Modern Art in London, and Gallerie Nicolai Wallner in Copenhagen. Her work has been exhibited in solo museum projects at the MCA Chicago, the Knoxville Museum of Art in Tennessee, the Ulrich Museum of Art in Wichita, Kansas and was featured in the popular traveling exhibition, Beautiful Losers. Clare Rojas lives and works in San Francisco where she has shown at the Luggage Store Gallery and the San Francisco Art Institute. An opening reception will be held on Thursday, June 15th from 5:30 - 7:30 p.m. Image: man walking in field of lilies, 2006 Gouache and latex on panel, 11 3/4" x 11 3/4"
