Hosfelt Gallery *

Founded in 1996, Hosfelt Gallery has distinguished itself through the introduction of exceptional new artists from around the world, the intellectual rigor of its programming, its role in nurturing the careers of now internationally-renowned artists, a commitment to showing work that doesn't necessarily align with current trends, and representation of some of the most important artists of the Bay Area and beyond. In 2012 the gallery consolidated its operations with a trailblazing move to its current location. Hosfelt Gallery is a member of the Art Dealers Association of America.

SAN FRANCISCO ARTIST WEBSITES


Abstract painting by Kathryn Arnold located in San Francisco, 010323

Kathryn Arnold - Paintings

Kathryn Arnold is a painter whose work explores abstraction through a deliberate and intuitive approach to composition. Her use of color ranges from jewel-toned brilliance to soft, muted hues, while the varied textures of her surfaces invite close engagement. “I allow for intense optical mixing as layers build upon each other with translucent effects integrating both on canvas and in the eye,” she explains. “As I work, I notice a sense of personality and emotive nature developing and pursue it. Poetic gestures reveal the diaphanous character of thoughts and associations, processes of mind, in substantial and solid form.” Located in San Francisco.
