Oolong Gallery Presents "What is Built" - A Solo Exhibition by Christina Hendershaw Oolong Gallery is pleased to announce "What is Built," a solo exhibition by graphite artist and San Diego native Christina Hendershaw. This captivating exhibition will be displayed in the foyer gallery at Oolong from May 18 to June 9, 2024, offering a unique exploration of the ephemeral nature of urban structures in the form of graphite works on paper. This exhibition marks the final showcase in the gallery's current raw form before the warehouse undergoes significant construction and division. Please join us for the opening reception Saturday May 18 from 2-5 p.m. at Oolong Gallery, including an event to follow in celebration of the parallel show in the warehouse by Peruvian oil painter Sylvia Fernández. Before a foundation is poured or a beam erected, the conceptual framework of our cities materializes in the realm of imagination. These nascent structures, which eventually manifest as tangible entities, exist in a liminal state—simultaneously solid and elusive. Once built, they seamlessly blend into the fabric of our daily existence, often going unnoticed until moments of construction or demolition draw our attention. Hendershaw’s meticulous graphite drawings capture this delicate balance between presence and invisibility, examining the experience of spatial perception and collective memory. "These imagined structures straddle the line between solidity and intangibility," says Hendershaw. "Their presence is so pervasive, so assumed, that they often go unnoticed—perceived as indestructible and unyielding." Through ethereal and abstract representations of recently constructed ruins, Hendershaw’s work obscures rather than clarifies any authentic sense of place or location, referencing the transient nature of what is built.

Artist, Jo Caldwell is offering a rare chance to see this stunning and personal collection of art displayed together during her solo exhibition at Gallery 21 May 7 - 20, 2024. Free. Opening May 11, 2 - 4 p.m. Jo’s description of this show: “Life is a mystery. Are we spirit and part of a dream? Or merely passing memories. My work is about that mystery in each of our moments. We are full of echoes of the past and present. Caught up in rites and symbols. Living in different circles of power. One of thousands of Ancestors yet relentlessly bound together.” Jo Caldwell grew up in a pine forest in New England and studied oil painting at the Museum of Fine Arts School in Boston. There she was trained in the exacting European traditions brought by artists who fled from Europe and its nightmares. She was wrenched from this life of creativity to live in virtual isolation for many years in a Quaker community in the jungles of Costa Rica. During that time she immersed myself in literature, philosophy and social conceits. Art was not only the central gift of her childhood but put Joe on a path that eventually led her to earn a BA in 1988 from UCSD, followed by an MFA from Cal State Fullerton - where she taught a class in Beginning Painting in the fall of 1993. “Journey Into Light” is on display at Gallery 21 May 7 - 20, 2024 from 11:00 – 4:00 PM daily. A free public Opening Reception will be held Saturday, May 11th from 2:00 – 4:00 p.m. Come explore this amazing collection of work by one of San Diego’s premier artists!
