Harry Clewans’s exhibition, Eye/Hand, is a collection of works that hope to communicate that all things, by virtue of their makeup, are connected. Because the woodcuts are made from found items, Clewans also wants to emphasize that “all things participate in a cycle of composition and decomposition, in which the old, the broken down, and the disposed of becomes material for the new.” Some of these woodcuts may consist of objects such as a broken lightbulb, a battered plastic toy, a dried piece of kelp, etc. The texture of one woodcut image may be used to depict the skin of an animal, the ground floor, or the trunk of a tree.
Exhibited extensively in California, nationally and abroad, his work has been awarded the James Phalen Award for printmaking and a fellowship at the Kala Institute of Art. His work has also been collected by The Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive, the Achenbach Foundation for Graphic Art, the Mills College Art Collection and the Judah L. Magnes Museum.
The Triton Museum Art is a nonprofit institution and a vital community resource that provides accessible exhibition and education programs, which promote a broad range of contemporary California art. Through its multifaceted programs, the museum brings together the culturally diverse population of the Greater Bay Area to foster a better understanding of art and its role in building a strong community. The museum provides free parking and free admission; the museum is open Tuesday through Sunday from 11:00 am to 4:30 pm.

Magnolia Editions is a fine art print studio in Oakland, California. They provide artists with technical expertise and access to large-scale, pigment-based electronic printing processes; a newly renovated paper studio; an etching press; a powerful automated cutting machine; and other state-of-the-art tools. For almost three decades they have worked closely with artists to produce and publish print multiples, unique artist’s prints, works on paper, and editioned textiles, utilizing both traditional printing methods and the most advanced digital printing and Jacquard weaving techniques. They have also collaborated extensively with artists on developing large-scale, public commissions. In early 2017, ceramic tile mosaics created at Magnolia Editions by artist Chuck Close were permanently installed in the East 86th Street Station of New York City’s Second Avenue subway line. Working with the San Francisco Art Commission, Magnolia has also developed and fabricated numerous works commissioned for the San Francisco International Airport. Other public commissions in which Magnolia has played an active role include works for the San Francisco Superior Court Building, the Laguna Honda Hospital in San Francisco, the Cathedral of our Lady of Los Angeles and the San Jose Museum of Art.
