It’s more than just a military memorial.” For more information on this project, call Dee Eva at (650) 368-4800 or e-mail dee@deeeva.com.

A reception for the artists will be held on July 3 from 4 to 7 p.m. at the cooperative gallery, located at 1018 Main Street. Baltzer’s inspiration came from a heavy heart, as he has been caring for his aging father for the last two years. Chlouber, meanwhile, marvels at the wonders of life. Both artists point to perspective. “For me,” Baltzer said, “the work reflects the combination of physical and emotional isolation from the world I would prefer to live in. And it also afforded me the opportunity to re-examine inter-family dynamics and to express it in my continuing series of multi-media painting constructions.” “<strong>The</strong> work,” he continued, “comes out of my experience of watching my father waste away and the isolation and emotional conflicts of re-engaging the family dynamic while cutting myself off from the sources of my own nourishment.” For Chlouber, inspiration came simply from how “unbelievably beautiful and amazing life can be and how lucky we are to be here at all.” “Sometimes it’s easy to become immersed in all the troubles of the world and I, as an artist, have felt a need to keep reminding myself what an incredible place we live in. This doesn’t mean that the work denies the problems we face, but seeks to balance them out and put them in perspective.” Baltzer paints mostly with oil, but in this show he has several pieces that could best be described as mixed media because they include areas of acrylic and encaustic as well as incorporated objects. “<strong>The</strong> paintings are a continuing evolution of a series that I began last year, which explores our modern spiritual Diaspora, or, as Bob Dylan would say,’the new dark ages.’” Chlouber works with many different mediums, ranging from watercolor, oils, collage, printmaking and encaustics. “In recent years, I have been working to balance abstraction with the narrative in art,” she said. “<strong>The</strong> work has layers and sometimes has hidden images and symbols that only reveal themselves when studying the work.” <strong>The</strong> Main Gallery is open Wednesday through Friday from 11 to 4 and weekends from 10 to 3 p.m.
