From Forest Bash: stunning, head-turning bowls—no two are ever alike, and the artist boldly signs each one.
Resident artists from the gallery often bring in consigned items, such as Bahari’s vintage pottery and porcelain pieces, which typically draw on late 20th-century designs that blend kiln-fired handmade craftsmanship with modern, organic aesthetics.
Currently, we accept pieces that balance earthy elements with minimalist modern art. Common forms include free-form vessels, ribbed or cascading-texture pieces, and art-inspired bowls or vases.
The pieces frequently feature matte or semi-matte finishes in neutral tones like white, gray, and subtle earth shades…perfect as fall season home accessories –FH&G
New artist for the gallery.
Marilyn Sanbrailo works in Geometric Abstraction with clear influences from the Bauhaus movement. It relies entirely on non-representational forms, textures, and lines to create balance and movement rather than depict a real-world subject. Marilyn created the work in pen, ink, and watercolor. Sharp, structured forms, such as triangles, intersecting linear bands, and distinct circles, dominate her compositions. A fluid black form, decorated with white dots, meanders down the left side. This organic form balances the rigid geometric lines. The piece combines smooth, translucent watercolor or ink washes with precise fine-liner ink work. Notable details include the crosshatched grid at the top and a stippled, bubbly column near the bottom right. The colors are restrained and sophisticated, featuring muted ochres, warm browns, and varied slate-gray values. A single bold, dark red circle acts as a primary focal point on the right. Parallel vertical lines slice through the composition, adding rhythm, structure, and an upward, architectural tension.
Q: How are the artists selected for gallery representation, you ask?
A: FH&G selects artists based on the strength and coherence of their portfolio, the clarity of their artistic vision, and how decisively their work aligns with the gallery’s exhibition program and collector base.
Q: How about cohesion with the other artists in the gallery, you ask?
A: Each artist selected has a distinctive perspective, a recognizable style, and a consistent body of 6 to 20 original works.
Q: How does the work fit the gallery’s conceptual direction?
A: From day one, in 2006, FH&G chose to feature artists who do not overlap another artist’s style, to fit into its existing collector network.
Q: How are artists discovered, you ask?
A: Gallery directors and curators discover talent through group exhibitions, art schools, residencies, and studio visits.
Q: Do other artists recommend fellow artists to the gallery?
A: Yes, indeed. Introductions or referrals from trusted artists, collectors, or peers carry a lot of weight.
