SAN FRANCISCO - PennZone -- Scott Richards Contemporary Art is delighted to present Michael Reafsnyder in his first San Francisco solo exhibition: SUMMER JAM. Celebrated for his energetic, tactile approach to abstraction, the acclaimed Southern California artist brings his signature energy to this vibrant summer showcase of gestural paintings. The exhibition opens with a reception for the artist on Saturday, July 12 from 4 – 6 pm and continues through August 30th.

SUMMER JAM offers an invitation to revel in the immediacy and joy of color—each painting a declaration of the sheer vitality of being alive. Click here for more information

Reafsnyder creates his exuberant paintings using palette knives, his own hands, and found objects—intentionally avoiding brushes to heighten a sense of raw, physical immediacy. Thick, lush, mixes of vividly tinted acrylic paint glide and gather across his canvasses in robust and unexpected color combinations. His works continually unfold, offering moments of delight, surprise, and sensual seduction, their delightful spontaneity translating not only in the artist's energetic joy of making but also the viewer's thrill of seeing—each painting a celebration of the boundless pleasure of being alive.

Intentionally shying away from the brooding legacy of Abstract Expressionism, Reafsnyder paints these recent works with a nod to grisaille—the technique of building luminous layers from a foundation of modulated greys. By mixing cool and warm tones into neutral bases, he builds surfaces of unexpected depth. In some of the works, (Pastry Store), icy greys peek through candy-colored swirls; in others, (Chop Shop) warm underlayers subtly glow beneath bold, gestural strokes. Ripping Good's red intensity grabs attention immediately and unveils slowly, upon extended viewing. Nuance arises and space is disrupted while scale immerses the viewing into a complex array of movement and action.

"My paintings are exuberant and celebratory," says Reafsnyder. "They intend to delight, glee, and exhilarate. I want to make works that present sudden, wild surprises and joyous acrobatics that can wiggle out from the burden of expectations."
