Manuel’s show is closing today. @thefourthwallga Manuel’s show is closing today. @thefourthwallgallery will be open 12-5. @manuelnoah will be there in the afternoon and I’m coming by late in the day.
So @manuelnoah and I decided to play with the inst So @manuelnoah and I decided to play with the installation @thefourthwallgallery one more time. We ended up with a new wall and some additional works. The updated show title could be “I Have Never Been Here Before - Again,” which reminds me a little of the brilliant Queen lyrics, “I've fallen in love for the first time / And this time I know it's for real.” Anyway, Manuel is sitting at the gallery today if you want to stop by.

Thank you, Susan Aulik of @fourthwallgallery for i Thank you, Susan Aulik of @fourthwallgallery for inviting me to curate this show of my son’s paintings. It’s been an incredible experience working with him on it, especially during covid times. Obviously I’ve known his work forever but, recently, I find myself more and more influenced by his attitude of waiting and trusting materials to do their thing over time. I asked him some questions along this line in an interview for the catalog, which is available digitally on the Fourth Wall website (fourthwallart.com) now and in print soon. The show, titled, I Have Never Been Here Before, opens today. The gallery is open Saturdays 12-5 but you can email them or me for an appointment other times. second image: I Have Never Been Here Before, by @manuelnoah , mix media on panel, 24 x 24 in. #fourthwalloakland @susanaulik
Just saw this stunning show @andrewkrepsgallery of Just saw this stunning show @andrewkrepsgallery of paintings by Raymond Saunders, a dear old friend with many contradictions and a wildly generous soul - kind of like the work. It combines work from Paris and LA as well as Oakland. That’s a hand made monopoly board in French. Looking forward to the second half of the show @casemorekirkeby #raymondsaunders #casemorekirkeby #andrewkrepsgallery
