Incline Gallery is a new (only one year in existence) contemporary art venue presenting the work of a number of artists from San Francisco and the Bay Area.
Located in the former mortuary (1914-1979), with a sharp-angle gurney ramp ascending the narrow space of the three-level building to the former embalming room, the gallery uses its natural incline for the enticing wall displays of new and fresh artwork coming from the local talent.
Founded and curated by
Christo Oropeza and
Brian Perrin, Incline Gallery is a result of the collaboration between Paxton Gate and the San Pancho Art Collective, and provides support for emerging artists through a range of services, discounted art materials, and ever-changing exhibition displays.
On the day of the well-attended one-year anniversary celebration,
Tim Svenonius just finished his site-specific pen-and-ink wall piece depicting a procession of hooded figures heading for a ritualistic structure with a smoking coal bowl at the top, titled
Reason Laid in Stony Sleep.
A couple of interesting works by
Howie Katz was mounted on the walls in different corners. One – a copper and glass piece,
The Treachery of the Treachery of Images, another – an acrylic
Ghost Quidji Board.
Charcoal on paper figures in various stages of abstraction by
Rosarie McHugh shared a segment of the ramp with
Lucky Mummy and other gouache and color pencil works by
Katie Bacigalupi.
At the bottom of the ramp there was an eye-catching serene acrylic painting by
Michael Pickard,
The Field.
There were many more paintings by a diverse group of artists, with their various subject matter, styles and materials, comfortably placed throughout the gallery.
If current interest and attendance is any indication, Incline Gallery is obviously ascending to its growing glory.
Incline Gallery is located at 766 Valencia St. in San Francisco. Open Thursday and Friday 4-8pm, Saturday and Sunday 12-5pm, and by appointment. More information at:
