Opening Reception Saturday, Sept 10th 3:00 - 5:00 pm
Chandler Fine Art, 170 Minna Street, San Francisco, California

Chandler Fine Art is pleased to present, "Las Nubes," an exhibition of new work by Percy Cannon. Las Nubes (the clouds) is a series of paintings created in the artist's studio in Crockett, Calif.

These paintings are elusive both in content and process. Using a technique (poured acrylic), that is simple but difficult to control to create minimal compositions of saturated color seems a contradiction yet this work seems to evoke a quiet dignity. Obvious references to landscape are blurred by hazy areas of color yet these paintings are clearly based in the natural world.
