Opening Reception: Th 9 Feb 5p – 8p
The pandemic caused most every one to reflect on various aspects of their life and work. The artists in this show used this interval to revisit their thinking, rework their ideas, and reclaim the narrative from one of an outside force acting upon them, to a rebirth of their inner forces of creativity.

California is an ecosystem with a remarkable range of flora, and an equally remarkable range of artists who work to capture the beauty, intrigue, and symbolism embodied in plant life.

THE INVISIBILITY COLLECTIVE:
SEEN X UNSEEN
12.06.2020 – 02.28.2020
The Invisibility Collective and invited guest artists assembled an exhibition that is the culmination of months of virtual “Covid Conversations” from the West Coast to the East Coast of the USA.
We are looking at various ways that people express their feelings about being seen and not being seen and the intersection of the two worlds. We are exploring the many aspects of what it means to be invisible and presenting ways of becoming more aware of how this status affects us.
Together and individually we are exploring this intersection of being seen and unseen. The ideas that form the foundation of the collective preceded Covid, but have not surprisingly grown to encompass elements and results of the prolonged pandemic. We are peeling away layers to look beneath the obvious – to reveal – and to reflect through an art experience that peaks the senses.
Questions are raised. Answers are discussed. It is experiential.Participating Artists:
Collective Members: Lonnie Graham, Susan R. Kirshenbaum, Rhiannon Evans MacFadyen, Samira Shaheen, Angela Tirrell
Invited Artists: Mary Graham, Sophia Green, Rell Rushin, Sawyer Rose, John Stone, Christopher M. Tandy (Courtesy of Glass Rice Gallery, SF), Nancy Willis

paintings by
andrew lyko
10.05.2019 – 10.26.2019
Lyko’s artwork uses mediums of acrylic, oil bar and spray paint in diverse mediums which awaken our sensibilities to experiences and strokes which stimulate our intense interest. Growing up in Southern California, Lyko was heavily influenced by his childhood in East Los Angeles where he saw and experienced street urban culture and spent many childhood days on his skateboard flying by street graffiti from Shepard Fairey, Mr Brainwash, Invader and Kid Zoom.

Throughout the life of Radian’s Founding Director, Tony Wessling, has somehow “had the luck” of drawing a remarkable circle of artists as friends. From those he met as a young art student at the University of Michigan, to more recent acquaintances from Burning Man, this show celebrates their lifelong passion for making work that truly moves people.
