  • TWO: PAINTING AND SCULPTURE BY STAN DANN & ALAN CHIN

    05.25-27.2006

    Gallery 276: Closing Celebration.

    Artists: Stan Dann, Alan Chin.

    Comment: One year on the radar and that does it for Gallery 276. Too bad-- way too bad. They put on an impressive series of shows, scaring up a selection of serious yet relatively unsung Bay Area talent. Their farewell performance spotlights veteran Stan Dann's intricate puzzle-like polychromed wood carvings, and the precocious proficiency of teen phenom Alan Chin, all of eighteen years old, workin' it like a pro with abstract paintings, big-ass ceramic sculptures, and spherical ceiling-hung wire paper assemblages. Need art? Principal Stephen Headley will contine to proffer privately from his East Bay digs at 510.418.5960.

    STAN DANN:

    For Stan Dann, art is closely linked to the human condition that needs to construct elements of everyday life into a meaningful context. To view his work is to observe those places and things, common to daily existence, which have been transformed,.. by making the prosaic visually exciting. Dann starts each project with a preliminary drawing which is then transferred onto wood, cut up into many shapes, refined by sanding and assembled like a giant jigsaw puzzle.
