Coda EV pics, video
The February SFEVA meeting was a huge hit! Standing room only for the presentation; countless test rides. Coda has built a OE grade car, the best fit and finish of any start-up EV company we’ve seen. That’s a reflection of their impressive network of suppliers and JV collaboration with Lishen. They still have some marketing quirks to work out (Slogan: “100% fuel deficient”...? Gotta drop that ASAP) but the tech side inspires a lot more confidence. The remaining obstacle will be competitive pricing against the Nissan Leaf.

Artist’s Statement:
“I make paintings on canvas using oil bars and paint, dry pigments and washes, brushes and rags. Often, I invent processes that require touching the surface of the painting with my hands, developing surfaces that contrast repetitive, obsessive, time-consuming procedures with abrupt, accidental moments. The imagery that develops often shifts back and forth between the figurative and abstraction. Repetitive actions seduce my mind below the surface of thought, where unpremeditated gestures can bring something tangible and meaningful from behind the screen of consciousness out onto the canvas. Those rare moments in life when the brain scrambles to decode visual input that is not readily interpreted are exciting to me, and I look for ways to reproduce that experience as I work. Many of my paintings explore color relationships as a kind of emotional sign language. I enjoy watching colors interact as dramatically as characters in mythology or opera. Visual interactions between marks and surfaces made with oil paint, dry pigments, and spray paint create complex relationships that I hope will reward patient and persistent examination.”

ART IN THE SHOP: Patrick Smith “LIFEnearDEATH”
Patrick Smith
LIFEnearDEATH
Portraits from a Hospice
July 7th - August 7th
Join us for the reception:
Saturday, July 11th, 4-7
“This series of portraits shows the faces of patients living in a hospice. The patients are of many ages, from early forties to late eighties. They are dying of various illnesses—stroke, congestive heart disease, emphysema, cancer, AIDS, alcoholism, drug addiction—and of simple old age. Most of the people in the portraits are now dead. A few live on bearing the daily efforts of life. Some are vividly aware of their condition, some are in dementia or wandering the dreamy labyrinth of final days. Some are on the private, knowing journey through medicated pain. The portraits are meant to show that life does not surrender itself until the only final moment; and to dream that, in a way, no one dies, because there is no land between life and death. There is the ultimate heroism, and then the rest.”
