FORT MASON CENTER | APRIL 17-20
This will be Hall Spassov’s sixth iteration at the San Francisco Art Fair, located at Booth A-11. Join us at Fort Mason Center this April!
We are thrilled to exhibit new work by renowned glass artist, Amber Cowan, along with the latest work by Erik Hall and Amy Spassov. The gallery will show paintings by Korean artist Yool Kim, soft sculptures by Seattle artist, Erik Andor and the latest ‘Crystal Mary’ by Australian artist, Kyle Montgomery, also known as Killdie.
Yool Kim | March 6th - April 30th
We are thrilled to present the latest work by Yool Kim. Yool Kim is a contemporary Korean artist, based in Seoul. Kim has exhibited her mixed media works across the United States, as well as internationally. Her practice explores ideas of identity and the subconscious through a maximalist approach. As she navigates these thoughts her work takes on a figurative form often featuring a single face repeated many times – suggesting a series of selves. Her fast-paced thoughts and emotions are shown in her use of impulsive and overlapping mark-making. These layers represent her own personal experience and in her words, 'highlights self-expression through my deepest most inner thoughts’.
*The gallery will be closed for spring break April 9th - 24th. Join us at San Francisco Art Fair April 17-20! Contact us for your tickets.
Chris Leib | January 9th - February 28th
PAST TOMORROW
In January we have new work in the gallery by artist, Chris Leib. His quizzical, hyper-surreal astronauts are both enchanting and mysterious and his technical ability as a painter is most impressive. Chris Leib has exhibited his artwork across the United States, as well as in Germany, France, Denmark and Australia. A classically trained painter, Leib has spent over a decade applying renaissance techniques to subject matter outside traditional boundaries. Despite their dark tones, his subjects are characterized by humor and an exploration of heroic imagery.
Join us on First Thursday, February 6th for a reception from 5-7pm and enjoy wine and pizza from our friends at Oxbow! Chris Leib's show will be on view through February 28th.
The Gallery is located on the corner of 24th and Boston Street.
Group Exhibition | December 2024
We are excited to introduce new work by Seattle based, soft sculpture artist, Erik Andor. Two of his latest works are on view in the gallery for the month of December. Each work is meticulously crafted with vinyl and nylon and can be installed in numerous orientations. Andor uses his years of experience as a sought after designer and fabricator for theater companies and performers. Most recently the artist has been working alongside costume designer, Paul Tazewell, puppeteer, Basil Twist, and glass artist, Preston Singletary for the latest iteration of 'Sleeping Beaty’ with PNB. His latest works of art are playful with a bit of humor and matched with a serious technical hand that is admirable. We are thrilled to partner with the artist and look forward to more to come in the new year.
Also view work by painter, Nick Kosciuk who has dedicated many years to paint the portraits of the children he met in Belarus. "Unexpectedly, I happened upon a remote orphanage in Eastern Europe, and my life was irrevocably changed. I not only found an understandably profound subject matter, but a new purpose in life." - Nick Kosciuk
WOMAN INTERNATIONAL | OCTOBER 3rd - NOVEMBER 30th, 2024
Hall Spassov is proud to present the group exhibition “Women International”. We are highlighting the work of six distinct female artists, Tracy Grubbs, Yool Kim, Francesca Sundsten (Estate), Kit King, SylC and Amber Cowan. The Venn diagram of this show overlaps most in the area of self expression, determination and exploration, but also in exquisite finish quality. We are excited to be a woman owned and operated gallery and look forward to sharing this collection of acclaimed female artist’s work. Join us at the gallery on November 7th from 5-7 for our opening reception.
GROUP EXHIBITION | August 1st - September 30th, 2024
Group Exhibition currently on view | Join us in Montlake through September to view new glasswork by Philadelphia based artist, Amber Cowan, new paintings by Korean artist, Yool Kim, paintings by Los Angeles based artist, Jeff Peters, xylography by Montreal based artist, Jerome Poirier, multi media work by San Francisco based artist, Peter Combe, among others.
The gallery was proud to debut work by renowned artist, Amber Cowan at the Seattle Art Fair this year and we welcome you to view some of her latest work in our gallery. Cowan's sculptural glasswork is based around the use of recycled, upcycled, and second-life American pressed glass. She uses the process of flameworking, hot-sculpting and glassblowing to create large-scale sculptures that overwhelm the viewer with ornate abstraction and viral accrual. With an instinctive nature towards horror vacui, her pieces reference memory, domesticity and the loss of an industry through the re-use of common items from the aesthetic dustbin of American design. The primary material used for her work is glass cullet sourced from scrap yards supplied by now defunct pressed glass factories as well as flea-markets, antique-stores and donations of broken antiques from households across the country.
JEFF PETERS
'And The Birds Were Not Singing About The Past'
Solo Exhibition, JUNE 6th - July 31st
Hall Spassov Gallery is proud to present the latest work by artist, Jeff Peters. The artist has turned his attention to landscapes, painting them from memory, referencing childhood photographs and utilizing AI.
'My father gave me a camera when I was young and my first real photos were of the golf course we grew up on in Fullerton California. The golf course was sort of a faux version of nature at its finest, rolling hills fall into valleys where morning fog would sit, river that would bulge at the slightest of rain, oak trees planted in prime locations to enhance a morning sunrise.' -Peters
