Bay area painter Chad Buck opens an exhibition of new work at Brian Gross Fine Art at One Post Street on March 31, 2009. On view will be five paintings that each resonate with rich color and texture. Long focused on reductive paintings through process and materials, Buck's latest abstract paintings reveal a new sophistication of painterly nuanced hues. The exhibition continues through June 27.

Born in Caldwell, Idaho, Buck received his MFA from Brigham Young University, Provo, Utah. He has exhibited widely in the United States, as well as in Japan, Mexico and France. He lives and works in Oakland, California.
