Order of Magnitude

We have been following artist Judith Belzer for years now. She has a new show opening on September 9th at the George Lawson Gallery in San Francisco. We’ll be there.

As we approach our second anniversary with exhibition 20, we are pleased to again be showing the work of Bay Area-based painter Judith Belzer, who launched our program with the inaugural show in October of 2008. We are exhibiting selections from two recent series of Belzer’s ongoing explorations into the underpinning structures and porous surfaces of the world, titled respectively, Order of Magnitude and Order of Things. The modest scale of these paintings belies the ambition and scope of Belzer’s reach, as she moves freely from aerial to crystalline and cellular perspectives in her bid for intimacy with the natural order. Reminiscent of Cezanne’s late watercolors, Belzer’s assured open brushwork and thin washes suggest she has found herself a home in the center of things, and an open hand to pull us into the organizing principle she has uncovered.
