THE RESISTANCE
Tim Davis Conversations Exhibit
1/10/26 – 2/28/26
Davis’s paintings invite lingering. They reward patience. The craftsmanship is intricate, layered, and deliberate. Sometimes gold ‘dust’ or subtle swirling elements add both depth and dimension. There is a conversational quality to the work – of endurance, hope, and transcendence. The paintings feel like thoughts recalled rather than scenes explained.
Fred Schnider Gallery. For more information. Artist talk with Tim Davis 2/7/26 4-6 pm.
Xanadu
1/30/26 – 2/14/26
Xanadu follows the journey of a magical and beautiful Greek muse, Kira, who descends from the heavens of Mount Olympus to Venice Beach, California in 1980 on a quest to inspire a struggling artist, Sonny, to achieve the greatest artistic creation of all time – the first ROLLER DISCO! (Hey, it's 1980!) But, when Kira falls into forbidden love with the mortal Sonny, her jealous sisters take advantage of the situation, and chaos abounds.
