  • About the exhibition: UNDER THE INFLUENCE: Artists Pay Tribute to a Great Artist, Teacher and Friend The greatest teachers give us lessons that we unpack over a lifetime. Long after our time in classrooms become fond memories, their words of wisdom, generosity of spirit, and brilliant examples speak to us across time and distance. Under the Influence is our collective tribute to Walter Cotten whose exemplary teachings transcend any specific medium or discipline. For his former students who put his teachings into our respective art practices, Walter remains one of the defining voices whose influence is still being felt by those who were lucky to call him a dear friend. As a professor, he was a one-of-a-kind mentor and an enduring North Star for all of us who sought sanctuary and purpose creating art at San Diego State University. With his trusty canine companion, Ruby by his side, Walter pointed to the truth of always infusing one’s art with content. Walter preached the gospel of having something relevant to say regardless of the medium, and he shared the discoveries of his own life’s journey with a knowing smile behind a camera’s viewfinder. Walt’s resilient and creative spirit is alive in every former student who became a lifelong artist and friend. We form a circle of kindred spirits drawing creative sustenance from the same well. We are his brothers and sisters who answered the call to adventure of being an artist in our perilous times. These artworks exist in part because Walter Cotten provided the much-needed mentorship to light the way ahead. With his rigorous, honest and candid guidance, we learned to take an ongoing leap of faith by believing in ourselves and our individual talents as artists. What a mighty and beautiful gift indeed! Thank you, Walter. We love you, now and always. -- Neil Kendricks How to view: City Gallery, San Diego City College Oct. 21 - Dec 8, 2023 Opening Reception: 5-7 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 21 Gallery Hours: 12-4 p.m. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday And by appointment Artists: Jim CavoltBarbara HolmesAnna O'CainLael CorbinTerri HughesClare PutneyJohn DillemuthRichard KeelyDina RubiolioSteven DepintoNeil KendricksJason SherryJosh EggletonBessma KhalafJames SkalmanXuxhi NaungayanClayton LewallenDaniel Weiner David HewittMatt MorrisClay West Related links: City Gallery website | Instagram | Facebook

Year built: 2023 The Retreat: The first house on the row, an understated, calming retreat designed for the eldest members of the tight-knit family. With soothing colors, thoughtful design, and just enough flair to provide a distinct personality, this 2600 sf home offers spaces to entertain, unwind and get artistic. The Showstopper: Created for the social butterfly of the family, this residence boasts spaces for entertaining and stealing away. An entire level of the home is dedicated to having a good time, complete with flamingo pink bar and tropical décor that blends into the exquisitely decked out pool, patio, and deck space that evokes Miami Beach. Alternatively, the home also features a fully sound-proofed music room and a private sauna and spa retreats for when the owners are ready to relax and unwind. The Work of Art: The final house on the private row belongs to Soheil, the CEO of Nakhshab Development and Design. A true craftsman, the home exudes a style and sophistication while remaining supremely functional for everyday family life. Intricate tile work, bold color schemes, and elegant wood built-ins anchor the eclectic décor that defines Nakhshab’s personal style. Outside, a large outdoor kitchen and private pool retreat offer the perfect escape after a long day spent crafting away in his home office. Together the homes work in harmony while showcasing the unique qualities each Nakhshab contributes to make NDD, Inc. a success. These are the three personal homes of the owners of Nakhshab Development & Design, Inc. The “Eucalyptus House” Year built: 2019 Neighborhood: Carmel Valley / Torrey Hills Solar and radiant heat: Radsun Cabinetry: JNilsonDesigns San Diego Urban Timber Number of Bedrooms: 3 Number of Bathrooms: 2 ½ Approximate Square Footage: 2,975 This is a new build, completed in 2019. The owner acted as the general contractor on the build. The lot is approximately 60 feet wide at its narrowest point and over 300 ft long. The house is L-shaped, just under 3000 square feet with 3 bedrooms, an office, and a loft overlooking the great room. Technically, it is a "1-story house" even though it spans 3 levels. The garage is considered the basement, not a "story". The main living space, consisting of 2600 sq. ft, is the 1-story, and the 350 sq. ft loft is considered a mezzanine, not a second story. J Walsh Construction Inc Neighborhood: Mission Beach Number of Bedrooms: 3 Number of Bathrooms: 3 ½ Approximate Square Footage: 3,000 Home is contemporary, walkable to the beach. Emphasis on warm but simple, low maintenance finishes. A note from the architect: This existing home had not been remodeled in over 30 years, and we completed the project with the new owner out-of-town.
