< Back Phillip Hua SEP 28 - JAN 12 You Can Never Go Home Again Phillip Hua is a South Bay Area native whose art speaks of the delicate relationship between nature and commerce. As someone familiar with the ever-changing landscape of the Silicon Valley, Hua visualizes this shift in his art using unique processes that combine creative digital and traditional techniques. His work presents a call to be aware of how we're affecting the world around us and to question what our priorities are. This exhibition will include a selection of the artist's 2D works. Artist Statement: When I was growing up in San Jose, fields, orchards and wild, undeveloped lots were abundant. In the house that I spent most of my adolescent years in, there was a small personal farm behind our backyard. I could hear crickets when I went to bed. Today, that small farm is now replaced by new housing. The nights are mostly silent. The fields and orchards that I remembered are now office parks and commercial spaces. Where the change has been an economic boon to the Bay Area, I question what was replaced. The tide of redevelopment fueled by the relentless march of tech washed away so much of the beauty of nature. My memories of San Jose no longer align with what it is today. My artistic process is a blend of traditional and digital techniques, revolving around creating photo composites that I print, rework, scan, and digitally rework again. I incorporate dots to represent printing, ink bleeds to represent painting, and squares to represent pixels, influenced by our blended digital and corporeal lives. I draw inspiration from Asian brush painting, technology, and nature. While political, my goal is to always lure the viewer with beauty and color to provoke contemplation. This exhibition draws from over 17 years of work, ranging from portraits that invoke nostalgia and childhood to works that portray the intersection of the environment with the economy. Previous Next

Portals & Passages: An evolution of paintings, sculptures, and social magic Laurus Myth Marquee: Laurus Myth, Birth of the Universe, Acrylic on canvas, 2023 Echoes from the Womb Series JAN 25 - APR 27 Will be on View in the Warburton Gallery < Back Overview Local artist Laurus Myth debuts Portals and Passages, her first solo exhibition at the Triton Museum of Art, 1505 Warburton Ave. (January 25 - April 27, 2025.) Portals and Passages is a reflection point, weaving together Laurus’ portfolio of work across disciplines. From vivid colors, patterns, and layered paintings evolving into sculptural forms, Myth leans into art to tell stories of connection and relationship. Myth’s visual language is influenced by nature, technology, and intuition as they use symbols to decode their experience. Portals and Passages transforms Triton’s Warburton Gallery with works that draw viewers through moments of connection. This expansive body of work bridges dualities: technology-nature, movement-stillness, internal-external, and day-night. Artist Statement: Laurus Myth is an Asian-American interdisciplinary artist raised in Silicon Valley. A born innovator, Myth follows a creative and intuitive path as she fabricates and curates intentional spaces. Drawn to sacred architecture and mental landscapes, her work is colorful, symbolic, and deeply immersive. Myth’s experiential practices birthed several installations she calls “Social Magic.” Visually drawing– these playful and often temporary installations invite us to connect with our narratives and become part of a larger story. The artist turns the museum's gallery into a spatial story with codes and keys leading us to places unseen. Portals and Passages distill the last decade of Social Magic into new queries, forms, paintings, and sculptures. Previous Next

Director & Curator's Choice Curator’s Choice: Vanessa Callanta, Curator Deirdre White, Summer Had Inhaled And Held Its Breath Too Long , 2021, Oil on Panel, 30 x 36. This painting stands out to me as beautiful and, at the same time, horrifying. There’s this sense of dread and heaviness I feel while viewing it, but it has this morbid allure that keeps me hooked. I want to know what shape the deflated balloon once took, but am afraid to ask. The bold colors, while simultaneously grotesque and attractive imply a sense of illness and unrest. I love it and cannot look away. Director’s Choice: Preston Metcalf, Executive Director and Senior Curator Suzette McDonough James Whitehouse, Paparazzi Portrait #2, Mitch Huitema & Tim Holmes, 2022, acrylic, 36 x 48. I am often intrigued by partners who paint together. How does one project their vision in concert with another? It is an exercise in trust, and valuing the creativity of each. Suzette and James have made tandem painting one of their trademarks. Sometimes they will each paint the same subject, to be shown side-by-side, while at other times — as in this painting — they will each contribute to the same canvas. I am intrigued not only by the decisions each make in composing the overall whole, but in the daringness they take as a team in portraying some parts in completion, while others are left to our imagination, as if in fleeting visions captured by paparazzi’s cameras. Curator’s Choice – Bryan Callanta, Curator of Digital Programming Bounds, Float , 2023, Acrylic, 24 x 12. I enjoy this painting for its subject matter, it’s creativity, and uniqueness. I am intrigued as to why the whale is floating on the surface of the water. There is a heart on fire above the creature which may represent a passion or feeling of love. There are also scars on the whale’s head and body. What is it that the whale is ultimately seeking outside of its home? Want to be notified about future Salon Competitions? Sign up Today!

< Back Hana Lock SEP 14 - JAN 5 Anatomica Hana Lock is the Best of Show winner for the 2023 Salon at the Triton. Her work is an intriguing mix of bizarre and sublime, depicting in great detail our delicate anatomy alongside or combined with other wonderful creatures such as rabbits, frogs, mice, snakes, wolves, beautiful plants and flowers - our connection to the natural world. Her work displays our vulnerability and forces us to confront what is inevitable - that, along with all over living beings, we will all die and decompose. However, this fate is not portrayed as something to be feared, but rather embraced as part of the natural rhythm of life and death. This exhibition will include a selection of 2D works by the artist. Artist Statement: Anatomica is a collection of paintings and drawings that draw inspiration from my love of anatomy and fascination with the transience of life, the inevitability of death, and the mystery of what lies beyond. My work offers a holistic view of the body by highlighting the beauty of its internal structures without shying from the grotesque. Referencing visual and philosophical concepts from Buddhism and European medieval funerary art, my art often features anatomized bodies being strewn across the composition as their viscera intertwines with flora and fauna. In my practice, I primarily use ballpoint pen, watercolor, and acrylic to create intricate and precise line work and vibrant, flat colors reminiscent of Japanese woodblock prints and Art Nouveau. I strive for precision and detail, and I believe that in addressing the formal and conceptual qualities inherent in line, I am effectively capturing the delicate intricacies of the natural and imaginative world.

< Back Marc D'Estout JAN 18 - APR 19 A Singular Evolution: A 20 year survey of Marc D'Estout Marc D'Estout is a multi-disciplinary artist, curator, art director and designer who graduated with a MFA from San Jose State University. His extensive career includes exhibiting at numerous galleries throughout California and the United States, being featured in several art and design publications, and keeping an active art and teaching career. Artist Statement: Although I am now primarily an object maker, my formative art career was rooted in conceptualism and installation work that actively engaged viewers in carefully created environments. I think of my current pieces as sculptural haikus–formalist reductions. I experiment with subliminal (or sometimes blatant) imagery in response to observations of social and cultural memes, personal (mis)communication, politics, or pop (sometimes dark) humor. I usually draw my pieces first… sometimes as sketches, more often as precise guides. Most of my work is created from flat sheet-steel... the thickness of car bodies. Some pieces include steel rods. Shaped parts are created by hammering the metal into a sandbag or, sometimes, over curved metal blocks called stakes. The parts are then joined by welding and finished by filing and sanding seams, often to give the illusion of a single form. Surfaces are finished with either paints or patina. Other works repurpose and alter found objects… sometimes with new handmade components. These pieces often have a more immediate gestation. While concept drives my imagery, I am equally obsessed with using traditional labor-intensive processes to manifest my vision. The act of hand-making objects from metal has become my Zen.
