FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Sacramento Showcase with Richard Stein – October 2-25, 2025
SACRAMENTO, September 1, 2025 – Archival Gallery will present Sacramento Showcase with Richard Stein in the Main Gallery October 2-25, 2025. Additional displays of new work by Mel Smothers and Aparna Jaituni will be featured on the Front Walls. The Gallery will hold a Second Saturday Public Reception on October 11 from 5-8 p.m.
“California’s agricultural fields—when observed from an aerial perspective—can reveal textures and patterns that are not readily apparent at ground level. My drawings and paintings are my interpretations and manipulations of those textures and patterns to create a representation of what can be seen in life. I use a careful compositional layout, a particular choice of colors, thickened paint and a selection of certain tools to create the final image,” says artist Richard Stein.
Joining Richard at the Gallery are Mel Smothers with his I Painted Over Andy Warhol collection, and Mystic Mandalas by Aparna Jaituni.
Gallery guests may also explore the Gallery Backroom featuring estate artwork and consignments, the California Art Gift Shop and a working studio presented by resident artist Davy Fiveash.
