Includes an essay by the Director of the CK Contemporary Gallery, Lauren Ellis, Chronology and brief credits. This catalog was created for the exhibition at the CK Contemporary Art Gallery, San Francisco, CA (September 21 - October 16, 2013). From the essay: " In the hands of a lesser artist, the optimism and energy that one feels in front of Escauriaza's paintings would surely be lost. Though his buildings are sometimes down-at-the-heel, they are almost always set against radiant and cloudless skies of ocean blue. His vivid shadows create a delicate geometry that infuses life into the inanimate and it is the combination of his signature precision with unexpected instances of fresh painterly brushwork that introduce a palpable vitality into his canvases." Acquired from the private library of photorealist, Robert Bechtle and art historian, Whitney Chadwick. Heavy and oversized items may require additional shipping.
