The Jennifer Perlmutter Gallery is pleased to present "Surreal," which opens on August 2, 2018, featuring the work of Bay Area artist Tom Gehrig. The exhibit will also include works by Catherine Moore, Carol Aust, and sculpture by Southern California artist Emily Maddigan. In times when truth is stranger than fiction, and the daily news feels surreal, we look to art for understanding and perspective. Viewers will be delighted by this engaging exhibit of work, a tribute to surreal art. The exhibit is on view through September 1, 2018, with an artist's reception on August 2, from 6:00-8:00pm.

Tom Gehrig’s realistic paintings are juxtaposed with mixed media that surround the periphery of the canvas; words, mathematical equations, maps, celestial charts, string, objects and sometimes the title of the piece itself. The surreal, dreamlike landscape draws the viewer into the emotional content of the narrative while the mixed media breaks that illusion by presenting us with the different world of science and reason.
