featured artist: Howard H. Kaneg
“ Howard Kaneg’s art comes out of his dreams and his life: a gentle innocence; a desire to find the pattern of art in symbols; and – of crucial importance – his life spent at the edge of a vast ocean; the Pacific. The Pacific’s presence – its rhythms, power, depth, breadth – is a constant of his work.” – from Pacific Paintings Exhibition at Frederick Spratt Gallery in San Jose.
Mr. Kaneg’s large canvas impressionistic acrylics are awe inspiring and complex. Many pieces feature water as the joining textures and the moving subject. Don’t miss this special Show.
Show ends May 2006

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Director: Gretchen Werner
Asistants: Kimberly Parrish and Millicent Swick
Exhibition: Howard Kaneg, acrylic on canvas
Exhibition Dates: September 17 – October 28, 2005
NIDO Gallery is proud to present a one-man show of recent paintings by local artist, Howard Kaneg.
After receiving his BFA from California Institute of the Arts (CalArts), Kaneg went to New York to pursue his painting studies as part of the prestigious Whitney Museum of American Art Independent Study in 1974.His work was exhibited extensively in New York City, including shows at: The Whitney Museum of American Art, Paula Cooper Gallery, and Carol A. Goldberg Gallery. Since his return to California, Kaneg has exhibited with the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (New Talent Awards Exhibition and Art Rental Gallery), Patricia Correia Gallery, and the Triton Contemporary Art Fair in San Francisco and the Frederick Spratt Gallery in San Jose. An acquisition of Kaneg’s work by the Triton Museum in Santa Clara was exhibited in 2001.
Kaneg’s acrylic on canvas shows his depth of thought and feeling with a connection to eastern spirituality paralleled with local images. His appreciation of the power and rythym of the ocean comes through with a distinctive style, which is carried throughout his work. With the stacks of Moss Landing power plant, the eroded pier, and images of sinking ships, these lyrical paintings evoke a sense of loss, plan and tragedy but there is also a perception of faith and optimism in his reverence for nature.

PACIFIC PAINTINGS: It’s not the land but the ocean that is the mystical subtext of the paintings of Santa Cruz Artist Howard Kaneg, on display at Frederick Spratt Gallery Through April 1.
Kaneg, who studied art at the California Institute of the Arts and the Whitney Museum’s independent study program, moved to Santa Cruz from Southern California 20 years ago and has had only intermittent contact with the art world since. Not that he ever stopped painting. When he wasn’t surfing or at his day job as a Dry Waller, Kaneg was at his easel.
In Kaneg’s large acrylic canvasses- often 4 feet square or more- oblique references to the ocean mix with Eastern characters, obscured natural objects and swirling shapes to suggest a mysterious, unknowable world. Internally consistent but still broadly varied, they are unlike any other contemporary painting I’ve seen.

ARTSCENE
The Monthly Digest to Art in Southern California
Howard Kaneg’s luminous abstractions are fluid renderings of ghostly apparitions. Applying oil, acrylic and enamel in this, scrumbled washes, Kaneg creates a watery world of sinking boats, whirling waterspouts and giant waves. Shimmering with rich hues of blue, black, coral and crimson, these eerie boats and mysterious seas are rendered with much grace and delicacy. Poised on the brink of abstraction, his imagery seems caught in a vortex of line, color, and rythym. These lyrical paintings are silvery, glowing odes tot eh power of the ocean, with the underlying poetry of motion in the angles masts and the swirling wavces clous and skies (Patricia Correia Gallery, Santa Monica)

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Director: Patricia Correia
Assistants: Shana Dambrot and Janée Smith
Exhibition: Howard Kaneg, painting – project room
Exhibition Dates: 10 August – 14 September
Artist Reception: Saturday, 10 August 5-8 pm
Patricia Correia Gallery is proud to present a one-person exhibition of recent painting by California artist Howard Kaneg.
After receiving his BFA from California Institute of the Arts (CalArts), Kaneg went to New York to pursue his painting studies as part of the prestigious Whitney Museum of American Art Independent Program in 1974.His work was exhibited extensively in New York City, including shows at: The Whitney Museum of American Art, Paula Cooper Gallery, and Carol A. Goldberg Gallery. Since his return to California, motivated by a desire to find a creative environment free from political motivations, he has exhibited with the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (New Talent Awards Exhibition and Art Rental Gallery), Patricia Correia Gallery, and the Triton Contemporary Art Fair in San Francisco in 1994.
Painting in acrylic and oil on canvas, Kaneg’s unique style of representation has developed from a synthesis of New York and California schools of thought. He has become equally concerned with line and with color, basing his style on abstraction and minimalism, while never letting go of his rich lexicon of symbolism. These symbols are culled from familiar and fantastic imagery of Western and Eastern cultures. Kaneg also incorporates conventions of representation from other cultures, for example techniques of color wash from Asian screen painting. A gestural and deeply expressive line hovers loosely above color fields applied to unprimed canvas. The flatness of the surface which he achieves in this way is broken by patches of white, untreated canvas.
The overall effect is of jagged, shifting imagery which supports complex poetic metaphors of magic and loss, pain and joy, spirituality and carnality, hope and despair. The latest series is based on the imagic theme of sinking ships, with titles invoking not only tragedy, but prayer and hope. Kaneg has begun introducing enamel pigment into the acrylic paints, creating a surface shimmer which further relates to the chimerical objects of prayer which form part of his inspiration.
This exhibition will mark Kaneg’s full-fledged return into California art, with an uncompromising vision. His newest work is a truly useful aesthetic for our time. Darkly spiritual and grudgingly physical, giving form and equal treatment to intellect and instinct, Kaneg’s painting encompasses the totality of interior/exterior dual consciousness, just as it marries the apparently disparate concerns of pure form and symbol.
Howard Kaneg is represented exclusively in Los Angeles by Patricia Correia Gallery at Bergamot Station Art Center, 2525 Michigan Avenue E2, Santa Monica 90404. Gallery hours are Tuesday – Friday 10 am – 6 pm, and Saturday 11 am – 6 pm. Patricia Correia Gallery is a member of the Art Dealer’s’ Association of California. B/W available upon request.

Artist’s Statement
From Carlos Castaneda’s, The Teachings of Don Juan: A Yaqui Way of Knowledge, “Para mi solo recorrer los caminos que tienen corazon, cualquier camino que tenga corazon Por ahi yo recorro, y la unica prueba que vale es atravesar todo su largo. Y por ahi yo recorro mirando, mirando, sin aliento. (For me there is only the traveling on paths that have heart. There I travel, and the only worthwhile challenge is to traverse its full length. And there I travel looking, looking, breathlessly.)”
As William Blake is quoted in Aldous Huxley’s, The Doors of Perception, “If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is, infinite.”
