BRITTNI SUZΔNNE PLΔVΔLΔ


Brittni Suzanne Plavala is a self-proclaimed Sacramento transplant from the OC. And not at all the Orange County you’re thinking of, but rather, inland. So inland, in fact, one hop over and you could find yourself in the city of angels. She is a published poet and an artist who has displayed her expressive mixed media works at multiple showcases; however, frequently prefers to give her works away to the inherent owner the work so chooses. She actively participates in multiple facets of the arts, but especially enjoys the privilege of curating exhibitions. Brittni is a California State University, Sacramento alumni with a B.A. in Art History, concentration in Modern and Contemporary, and a Minor in French.

Victoria Neuenschwander was born and raised in Woodland, California. After she graduated high school she attended multiple local community colleges until she transferred to California State University, Sacramento in 2014 as a photography major. She quickly changed her major to art history after she came to realize that she enjoyed learning more about the artist than being one herself. Victoria interned in the CSUS art collection for over a year and a half, during her internship she document over 300 pieces of art in the art. From this experience, she assisted in the planning and installation of multiple exhibitions on campus. In December 2016 she graduated from CSUS with a B.A. in art history. Her concentration was in modern and contemporary art and architecture.

CΔCHING OUT @ Wide Open Walls

" Wide Open Walls theme is art for all - to make art accessible to everybody." -David Sobon, Founder and Producer Jose Di Gregorio mural on 701 S St.   Wide Open Walls does not call for a review, it calls for celebration of the momentum accumulating for the advancement of the arts in the Sacramento region. A mural festival of this caliber, including 50 artists both local and international, pushes the envelope for our artists, our institutions, our viewers, and our community as a whole. While the official programming of events for WOW spanned August 10 - 20, 2017 and involved multiple organizations and nonprofits, this collaboration has permanently planted public art throughout our capitol. How can the effects of this act not be memorable? These works are public, they are here to stay, and they contribute to raising the recognition and admiration of the artist's role in the community. So while criticism typically covers the effectiveness of the art based on val

Jerald Silva: Through Another Looking Glass

Image
  Jerald Silva:   Through Another Looking Glass The artist’s world, expressed through their medium, evokes a feeling to affect its viewer, and when successful, has potential to immerse them in a fresh, new perspective. Artspace 1616’s current show,  Jerald Silva: Through Another Looking Glass , is a retrospective of success, and hauntingly so. The world Silva creates follows you and will imprint your mind with his rendition of reality. After seeing the extensive repertoire in  Through Another Looking Glass,  you may question the boundaries of the blasé, but you will not question the captivating technique and depth of works by Jerald Silva.  Landscapes, figures and still life are the subject matter of choice from 1971 to present. The show totals in at 43 artworks, and if one more work was displayed it would be overload, but it is a complete tour de force. It is refreshing, even uplifting to interact with Silva’s paintings in watercolor which soften the focus of reality, not as an escape
