Reception: 5–7pm
Artist Talk: 5:45pm
Join us at NY2CA Gallery for the Artist Reception for Lisa Reinertson: Of Water & Earth, a solo exhibition by distinguished Benicia artist Lisa Reinertson.
Bringing together new and earlier work, the exhibition features figurative ceramic sculpture and works on paper in pastel, pigment, charcoal, and oil stick. From intimate shoreline studies to major freestanding figures, the work explores water and earth as both subject and substance, connecting landscape, body, memory, and material.
Reinertson is perhaps best known locally for Neptune’s Daughter, her bronze sculpture on the Benicia waterfront. This exhibition offers a rare opportunity to experience the broader range of her practice and the deeply human ideas that move through it.
The evening will include an Artist Talk at 5:45pm, offering guests a chance to hear Reinertson speak about the origins of the exhibition, her relationship to the Benicia shoreline, and the ways memory, nature, environmental urgency, and care have shaped the work.
