SUMMARY:Artist's Talk - M. Mark Bauer: THE\, THE
DESCRIPTION:Artist’s Talk Saturday\, July 18th\, starting at 1 pm Galler
 y Hours: Thursdays\, Fridays\, and Saturdays\, 12 – 5 pm Great to see in
  person\, these paintings are not fast-read paintings. Check out a few det
 ails on our website\, come in for the full experience. For a complete expl
 anation\, if that’s even possible\, please join us Saturday\, July 18th\
 , to hear from M. Mark Bauer about his work\, starting at 1 pm. What the ?
  What does it mean? Where DO we stand? ​Mixed messages\, absurd scenario
 s\, improbable unrealities – M. Mark Bauer wades into dynamic narratives
  and an onslaught of incomprehensible untruths\, pervasive and invasive\, 
 redirecting the course of events and outcome potentials at hand. Mesmerizi
 ng rhythmic patterns groove in undulating serenity as wildly complex scena
 rios unfold in the eight canvases on view. Hybrid creatures and colorful c
 haracters cavort in a surreal concoction that speaks to the consequences o
 f our collective insanity on each other and the natural world while sly hu
 mor entertains with bursts of sudden recognition. The Artist observes as E
 ye-hook\, Snake Tongue\, Bo Peep and a Sheep and The Big Bad Wolf join in 
 this precisely executed spectacle of chaos.

SUMMARY:Cade Salamanca: The Final Push
DESCRIPTION:Cade Salamanca\, Come As You Are\, 2026\, mixed media\, 36″ 
 x 36″ x 2″\, photo courtesy of the artist The Final Push marks a pivot
 al chapter in Cade Salamanca’s artistic and personal journey. In 2026\, 
 Salamanca embraced a new name—an act of self-definition that became a po
 werful affirmation of identity and a catalyst for creative transformation.
  Freed from expectations that once constrained her\, her work has entered 
 a period of greater clarity\, confidence\, and emotional depth. This body 
 of work explores the liberation that emerges when authenticity is fully em
 braced. The introduction of wire mesh and draped chains began as formal ma
 terial investigations but evolved into potent metaphors for the protective
  barriers Salamanca had constructed around herself over time. Fragmented m
 esh and suspended chains symbolize the dismantling of fear\, self-doubt\, 
 and inherited expectations\, revealing a renewed sense of freedom and poss
 ibility. Alongside 12 paintings\, Salamanca will debut six double exposure
  self portraits that mark the beginning of a new practice with Film Photog
 raphy on a Canon AE-1 Program. Both deeply personal and universally resona
 nt\, The Final Push is a celebration of self-acceptance\, courage\, and tr
 ansformation—a declaration of identity expressed without apology and an 
 invitation to witness the power of becoming fully seen. Bio: The Final Pus
 h marks Cade Salamanca’s second solo exhibition with Mercury 20 Gallery.
  Throughout her artistic journey\, Salamanca has explored diverse mediums 
 including ceramics and photography. After experimenting with different pai
 nting styles\, she developed a distinctive voice that combines techniques 
 she has honed over the years—from smooth color transitions to rich textu
 red layers.Salamanca’s work has been shown at the Blue Mountain Gallery 
 in New York City\; Made In California 2024\, Brea Gallery\, in La Brea\, C

SUMMARY:Cate White: World Raw
DESCRIPTION:At Transmission Gallery through August 1st\, 2026 (closed July
  4th) All are welcome\, please join us for Cate White Artist’s Talk: Sat
 urday\, July 11th\, starting at 4 pm Gallery hours: Thursdays\, Fridays an
 d Saturdays\, 12 – 5 pm Cate White brings fiercely powerful work to Worl
 d Raw\, consisting of paintings and sculptures selected from the last twel
 ve years. Cate White’s Statement: These works inhabit a world where pers
 onal memory\, dreams\, political reality\, religion\, banal culture\, and 
 archetypal myth have not yet been separately categorized. Images translate
  from one story into another\, remixing contexts until they lose their fix
 ed meanings. Armageddon arrives as a vaguely sinister faceless shmoo. The 
 devil wears flip-flops with socks instead of cloven hooves. Horror and hil
 arity trade masks. The miraculous and the absurd share the same language. 
 The sacred\, psychological\, traumatic\, mythic\, domestic\, and comic all
  stand on equal groundless ground. Over the years\, the work has delivered
  images of confinement and escape: caves\, cells\, thresholds\, thrashing\
 , illuminated openings. But the way to liberation is never clear\, and run
 ning beneath the work is an undercurrent of grief—for failed transformat
 ions\, lost certainties\, and the perpetual distance between desire and fu
 lfillment. The sacred and ridiculous are merged. Enlightenment appears as 
 a spray-painted glow. The process of painting is a tightrope act between i
 ntention and accident\, structure and impulse. Both order and chaos can be
 come prisons. I am searching for a third place: moments of bewilderment\, 
 play\, revelation\, or recognition. Rather than offering a coherent narrat
 ive\, these works invoke a raw world\, unfinished and alive\, where meanin
 g is in the making.
