The Wandering Gallery is an art project bringing together two British artists in San Francisco, California.
The relationship between artist and gallery is complicated. Artists need the audience and exposure enabled by the gallery, and the gallery needs the work and profile of the artists to bring in their audience. The difficulties of producing art shows have been exacerbated in 2020 with the restrictions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, forcing galleries to close, keeping audiences at home and artists in their studios.
As a result, Jayne Foster and Gary Miller, two British artists, have collaborated on a project aiming to break this deadlock.
The Wandering Gallery represents a section of a gallery wall, which moves silently through San Francisco, presenting work in various locations around the almost deserted city, looking for its audience.
The pieces on show are an introduction to the work of artists Jayne Foster and Gary Miller. Both have similar backgrounds in fashion design, each focusing on exploring divergent facets of portraiture.
Jayne’s work is predominantly printed with mixed media elements, made using a combination of machine and handcrafting techniques, creating multilayered visual effects that reflect the multi-faceted personalities within the works.
Gary’s work is predominantly mixed media with paint. He works methodically by combining wet and dry mixed-media techniques in order to create images that are part drawing, part painting, and part surface textile application.
