Eight bridges connect the San Francisco Bay, so it is an apt name for a gallery platform that brings the Bay Area art world together.

Our mission is to maintain a vibrant gallery scene, despite restrictions on travel, celebrations and other larger gatherings. We want to support our artists by informing and entertaining curators, collectors and critics with potent online exhibitions of their work.

On the first Thursday of every month, we will launch 8 shows of artists relevant to the Bay Area. They may be working in this place, long considered an epicenter of change, or deeply engaged in the conversations the Bay Area holds dear, whether it’s related to technology, the environment, social justice or sexual identity, to name a few. In addition, each month will highlight the crucial work of a Bay Area non-profit arts organization.

ARTIST PRESS:

MIGUEL ARZABE
Review by Genevieve Quick for 48 Hills: ‘…Arzabe’s energetic patterns and meticulous crafting present a formally strong show where the artist’s process of making, unmaking, and reassembly speaks to the hybridity and nonlinearity of traditions, narratives, and place. Moreover, Arzabe’s show demonstrates the artist’s keen ability to push viewers back to take in the whole while also pulling them into to inspect the details, where from both perspectives the view is entrancing….’

RACHELLE BUSSIÈRES
Studio visit with Kevin Umaña: “Bussières’s work draws upon various art forms to reshape how we perceive light and shadow as a sculpted form. Her environmentally generated works manage to capture the essence of time progressing and sets a mood in which the optical space is determined by our personal perception.”

CRAIG DORETY
Knoxville Mercury, “The Future of Electronic Art Opens Up at KMA’s New ‘Virtual Views’ Exhibit”, Denise Stewart-Sanabria “…Unseen strands of LEDS hide behind the aluminum circles…it has the feel of a time-lapse animation showing what the light of the sun and moon does to an object over the course of one day….”

MATTHEW F FISHER
Interview Surf Simply Magazine by Kim Feldman: “In a way, my paintings exist within the reality of one’s memories. When we think of a particular wave, rarely do we recall an exact wave. Just like sunsets, rocks, and seagulls. Instead, our minds summon a collection of waves and create a facsimile of what waves are. My images are not real; rather, they are idealistic representations of what we thought we saw. In that sense, everything is real.”

MARK FLEURIDOR
Interview: “My art practice has changed over time and probably will change in the future. For now it has been focused on depicting forms of love and protection. This stems from the genuine love I have for my family, but also the fear of anything negative happening to them… It is important for me to be able to learn while making art. Every time I create, some of my main goals are experimenting and learning. Sometimes I learn a new technique while other times I can have a resolution with a memory. It is also just very fun to work with different mediums and techniques.”

ALEXANDER KORI GIRARD
In The Make, “Alexander Kori Girard” “…Kori’s vivid work does indeed look like it was born out of dreams; the geometric compositions are rich in color and cryptic, and evoke a sense of the mystical… as if they might represent lived realities that we have no words for…”

ROBERT POKORNY
Juxtapoz, “Thinking, Staring & Smoking: An Interview with Robert Pokorny” by Sasha Bogojev July 27, 2021 “Pokorny is one of those enigmatic, hyper prolific and hard to define figures, capable of working in a variety of styles and techniques, all in the same, high quality manner. From clean line or geo form-based depictions, over cubist-like portrayals, all the way to raw illustration-like or gesture-based renditions, the LA-based artist is continuously exploring a wide range of styles and techniques.”

BLAISE ROSENTHAL
Square Cylinder, “Blaise Rosenthal @ Johansson Projects” Julia Couzens “…Meticulous and moody, Blaise Rosenthal’s asymmetrical paintings are like slow moving boxcars, carrying the freight across a vast American landscape…The eclipsing vastness of Torrents, the largest piece in the show, spreads out before us, a yawning canyon in the night. But the abutment of the two canvases cleaves a line down the middle, causing us to recalibrate our relationship to the painting not as an image, but as an object…”
