The John Natsoulas Gallery is thrilled to host the major retrospective exhibition of the work of acclaimed Funk artist Mark Bulwinkle, opening June 2026. Spanning two floors of the gallery, this landmark exhibition will survey six decades of the artist’s prolific career and explore the full breadth of his creative practice. This exhibition, the first to consider every aspect of the artist’s significant career, will address Mark Bulwinkle’s interests in printmaking, ceramics, and metal sculpture. His distinctive artworks will be accompanied by an array of archival materials - photographs, publications, and ephemera - that all highlight his expansive body of work. The exhibition will follow a chronological arc, presenting his earliest forays into printmaking and ceramics and to his later development into one of the most well-known metal sculptors of today. The organization of the exhibition will highlight his place alongside fellow artists who also pioneered West Coast art movements.
The John Natsoulas Gallery is proud to present the newest exhibition of paintings by Sacramento-based artist, Pat Mahony. The works in her exhibition, all created within the last year, are representative of her travels throughout California and to Hawaii. She captures endemic and tropical vegetation in her iconic, impressionistic style.
In this exhibition she explores scale across multiple canvases, creating a diptych and a quadriptych, allowing for greater immersion and artistic presence. Mahony can best be categorized as a colorist, with a style derived from the Impressionists and Post-Impressionists, which is well suited for capturing the fleeting moments that begin and end in such rapid succession in the natural world. Her paintings are a balance between abstraction and representation. Immortalizing the vibrancy of the Sacramento Valley natural environment is key to her work, and her dazzling painting captures the beauty of the beloved flora and landscape she calls home.
