Please join us in congratulating Brian Rutenberg on the review by Sura Wood in the Bay Area Reporter's article on summer arts in the Bay Area. Brian Rutenberg: Eight Landscapes The walls of this compact gallery are ablaze with color that could induce a trance-like state. Rutenberg's latest work, informed by poetry and music, has urgency, an irresistible pull like a rip current. Juxtaposing bottomless earth tones that threaten to suck you in, with saturated, textured color you want to reach out and touch, his large abstract textured landscapes, a shout-out to the impenetrable backwoods and kaleidoscopic thicket of light and flora of his native South Carolina, set the stage for some primal initiation rite, an orgy of nature that transpires in the wild and promises transformation.
