Jeremy MoraMark Wolfe Contemporary Art

This month, Mark Wolfe Contemporary Art opens the fall gallery season with an exhibition of sculpture by Jeremy Mora. A Los-Angeles-based sculptor, Mora creates miniature landscapes using humble materials. He draws inspiration from bonsai, dollhouses, dioramas, and architectural models, objects united, according to the artist, by their status as idealized miniature environments, where humans can exert “complete control” over nature.

Park reasserted the primacy of the figure within abstraction in the 1950s, ushering in a return to figuration that continues to impact American art today. This exhibition features a selection of Park’s paintings and drawings on paper, rang-ing from rare, early drawings from the 1930s to his celebrated late gouaches, completed shortly before his death in 1960. Also included are figurative drawings that were executed during the now-legendary 1950s group drawing sessions that included Park’s peers Richard Diebenkorn, Elmer Bischoff, Paul Wonner, and Theophilus Brown. Several ink on paper works from the collection of the late Mary Keesling, a well-known San Francisco art patron and a major advocate for postwar California art, are on exhibit as well.

David Park’s paintings are featured in major museum collections, including the Whitney Museum of American Art and the Museum of Modern Art, New York City; Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden and Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco; Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; and Oakland Museum.
