Sparks Gallery is pleased to show new work by artist Duke Windsor in his collection “Reflections”. Join us for the reception on Sunday, April 14, 2024 from 5 to 8 p.m. Admission is free and RSVP is encouraged; RSVP here. Duke Windsor’s success as a contemporary artist lies in his ability to infuse ordinary subject matter with his own ingenuity. Known for his predisposition to paint the crowded alleys of North Park, burgers dripping with grease, or trash cans put out to the curb, Windsor treats each with the reverence of a beloved relic. And to commemorate 30 years as a professional working artist in San Diego, this series, titled “Reflections”, focuses on the city’s streets. Each painting is gilded with lustrous gold leaf, a technique inspired by that used for old Russian icons. By delivering a kind of sacred designation to these secular, worldly scenes in his art, Windsor implores the viewer to rethink what is deemed as valuable and treasured in our everyday environment.

Rick Cervantes is excited to bring back the Hillcrest Community Ofrenda this year! Last year, he created this altar at the base of the Hillcrest Pride Flag as a space to not only honor his brother who lost his life in 2016, but to celebrate the lives of all of the community members and loved ones who are no longer with us. The first attempt in mid-October 2022 got destroyed overnight, so we decided to rebuild it on Halloween with Benny Cartwright recruiting some amazing community volunteers to stand watch over it 24 hours a day for three days. We’ll be doing this again this year, setting up starting at 4 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 31 and keeping it up through Thursday, Nov. 2. Everyone is welcome to bring photos or mementos to add to the ofrenda. Want to volunteer to help watch over the ofrenda so it's not destroyed or tampered with? We'd love your help! Sign-up here
