Abby Zhang’s upcoming exhibition, "California in Brushstrokes: Impressionistic Landscapes of the Bay Area and Beyond," at Gallery 9 will showcase her plein air paintings that focus on capturing natural light and atmosphere. Trained by Russian master painters, Zhang incorporates Eastern artistic principles such as wabi-sabi into her work. The exhibition aims to transport viewers to serene locations like Russian Ridge and Pescadero, evoking feelings of joy while appreciating simplicity and transience in nature. Runs from July 1 to July 27, with an opening reception on July 12.
Zhang's paintings capture California's essence through light, movement, and memory, aiming to evoke quiet joyousness in viewers as they connect with nature.
Drawing from Eastern aesthetics, Abby Zhang emphasizes simplicity and the beauty of imperfection, creating landscapes that reflect her training in the Russian Academy of Arts.
