Group Show
Silva Gallery, Santa Barbara
This mish-mosh fiesta exhibition seems to feature anybody who wants to hang a picture on the wall. Nevertheless, several good works are included, almost as if by accident. William Hesthal’s dramatic, calligraphic drypoint Small Big Crowd easily stands out as the finest work in the show. Of special note also are Margaret Hart’s free watercolor improvisation Dave Brubeck #2, and Gary Chafe’s strangely evocative family scenes, executed in pencil and gaudy poster colors.
