Portola Art Gallery Presents
"Small Works and Mini-Treasures"
- a group exhibition of original artwork to celebrate the new year
EXHIBITION:
"Small Works and Mini-Treasures"
DATES: January 9 - February 27, 2025

Portola Art Gallery at Allied Arts Guild,
75 Arbor Road, Menlo Park, CA 94025,

www.portolaartgallery.com
HOURS:
Monday - Saturday, 11:00 A.M. - 4:00 P.M.
Throughout the months of January and February, the award-winning
artists of the gallery will showcase works of art that are smaller in
size but large on value and creativity. The original paintings,
photographs, ceramics, woodworking, sculpture, and glassware make
owning an original piece of art easier for the first time buyer, and
make wonderful gifts.
Founded in 1981 to showcase the work of local artists, the Portola Art
Gallery was originally located in Portola Valley's turn-of-the-century
little red schoolhouse in the town center off of Portola Road. In 1996,
the gallery was moved next to the town's library, where it remained
until relocating to Allied Arts Guild in 2006. As a cooperative
gallery, the 22 members -- all from the Bay Area -- share in the duties
and costs of running the gallery. New artists are juried in as members
leave.

Artist Statement
My work revolves around creating unique monoprints using acrylic paint
and a Gelli plate, emphasizing spontaneity and the interplay of color,
shape, texture, and value. Guided by creativity and imagination, my
process embraces imperfection and allows for instinctive responses.
Layers, mark-making, and the organic interaction of paint and pressure
bring each piece to life, blending control with surrender and intention
with chance. The result is unique artwork that celebrates movement,
freedom, and the beauty of impermanence, inviting viewers to connect
with the immediacy of the creative process.

Allied Arts by Alan McGee
I began to rephotograph the Guild using Adams' folio halftones as the
frame of reference. I decided to use, as far as was practical, the same
vantage points and lighting conditions as those used by Adams. The
folio halftones were scanned and processed in Photoshop in the same
manner as that used for our contemporary photographs. Since the
halftones contained in the folio were of lower contrast than Adams'
silver prints, an attempt was made to have both folio and our
contemporary versions approximate the appearance of the Adams' silver
prints
