Eva Struble: Produce
Painter Eva Struble’s work treats distressed urban and natural landscapes, whose seemingly serene atmosphere belies the socio-political and environmental issues at their heart. Struble brings her critical eye and versatile brush to San Diego in Produce , a new series that offers a contemporary update on the landscape tradition. In these paintings, she pursues a recently developed interest in agriculture and migrant work, while simultaneously covering new material ground in her practice with experiments in screen printing and paper collage.

Everything Makes a Sound – paintings and poetry by Anna Zappoli
Italian born painter Anna Zappoli is well established in San Diego as a wildly expressive artist who seemingly effortlessly absorbs and releases inspiration to those who are fortunate enough to come near her or her art. Foll
owers of Anna’s work will recognize her signature palette (black) but may be surprised at the abstract direction some of her most recent pieces have taken.
