Hiroshi Sato
Screens

June 4 - 27, 2026
Artist’s Reception: First Thursday, June 4, 6-8 PM

Northern California-based artist Hiroshi Sato’s work sits at a compelling intersection of tradition and immediacy, where contemporary realist oil painting acts as a medium for both historical dialogue and present-day reflection. Drawing from a lineage that spans the Old Masters to modern figures (including Vermeer, Degas, Andrew Wyeth, Edward Hopper and Chuck Close), Sato builds carefully structured environments rooted in geometric design, yet vibrant with layered meaning. In Screens, Sato examines the dissolution of boundaries between physical and digital space through the artist’s continually evolving approach. Depicting figures in seemingly ordinary environments, the work integrates digital “screens” as indistinguishable elements of architecture—appearing as windows, doors, or spatial layers. Proximity to screens and our constant contact with the digital realm have become part of the architecture of daily life. The artist materializes our straddling of the physical and digital realm with these architectural frames, nodding to the social isolation of the internet age. Interpretation becomes participatory, shifting depending on each viewer’s familiarity and perspective. The exhibition further presents Sato’s contemporary still life paintings, where bottles and everyday objects are thoughtfully arranged across a range of surfaces.

Land & Sea presents the work of two West Coast artists who capture the quiet beauty of the natural world through shifting light, shadow, and richly organic, rustic forms.

John McCormick is a Northern California painter whose luminous oil landscapes evoke the vast, meditative expanses of wetlands, rolling hills, valleys, and the sea. Rooted in a deep reverence for the natural world, his paintings convey a quiet sense of the sublime—spaces where atmosphere, light, and land converge in contemplative harmony. McCormick’s work emerges from a sustained investigation into the formal elements of painting: composition, color, value, and their orchestration in creating space and form. For the artist, the landscape itself is a byproduct of a more essential pursuit—the study of light.

Pacific Northwest sculptor David Eisenhour interprets the organic, magnifying plant and animal forms with his free-standing and wall-mounted bronzes. Through his artistic processes Eisenhour tells stories of natural history and human experience. Sculpted kelp and seaweed forms anchor themselves to found objects, such as rocks, an old gas pump, a keyhole, an antique multiwrench, a horseshoe, and other castoffs. Their fusion reminds us of the impacts of human activity on the natural world. These bronze and found-object works are accompanied by a multitude of bronze barnacles and limpets. Their larger-than-life size makes for a fascinating and slightly surreal visual exploration of their protective shells. Eisenhour’s artistic vision reflects his lifelong inquiries and documentation of the forms and beauty in nature, as well as issues related to the environment.
