Buy & Bye Retrospective
Featuring the paintings of Petra Dufoo
WEBSITE: www.PetraDuffoo.com
FRIDAY NIGHT OPENING
May 20th 6-9pm

Petra Duffoo has lived and painted in the Bay Area for over 15 years. She holds a BA in Psychology with an emphasis in Art Therapy from Sonoma State and a minor in Mathematics from University of California Santa Cruz. A certified acupuncturist from Berkeley Acupressure Institute and a teacher of qiqong; she has a unique sensibility of the organic, spiritual and concrete nature of numbers.
The Buy & Bye Retrospective represents work from the last seven years and shows her development in both abstract themes and color. From 2006 to present, Petra’s body of work fully embraces the abstract and linear parts of her personality as the earlier Pod series becomes less distinct. The linear elements are consistent but in 2009, her form loosens up and the palate explodes in bright and vivid colors. Her current work finds that the line is represented, not of itself, but as a product of two elements meeting - defining a line in the boundary of colors and shape.

"Rhythm in Space"
Featuring the suspended sculptures of Soo-Hwa Yuan
WEBSITE: www.SooHwaYuan.com
Opening Night April 15th 5-9pm
April 16-17th 12-5pm
Soo-Hwa Yuan's work deals with the intersection of light, form, and movement. While his installations explore the mystery of space with light and fabric surfaces on a large scale, it is his suspended sculptures that embody these three elements on a more intimate level. With light, the sculptures create movement with shapes, and change shapes with movement. This dynamic interplay of light, form, and motion creates visible rhythms as air moves the sculptures through space.
The work will be shown in a unique space that allows the viewer to move around, beneath, and above the sculptures to view them from various levels and angles.
Yuan holds a Master of Architecture from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and BA in Architecture from the University of California, Berkeley.
