Yari Ostovany

Iranian-American · San Francisco Bay Area

Iranian-born abstract painter, in the United States since 1978 and working in the San Francisco Bay Area since the early 1990s. He calls what he does atmospheric abstraction: paintings that begin with calligraphic marks and then dissolve through layers of wash and glaze, added, scoured into and scraped away. His series take their names from Persian mystical literature, Zen and Taoist thought, music and poetry.

Eric Saint Georges

French · California

French-born sculptor and draughtsman in California. He holds a PhD in electrical engineering and spent thirty-five years in that career before returning to art full time in 2015. He works primarily in cast bronze, steel and mixed media on paper, and leaves the marks of his tools in the finished piece.
