Shasta College is pleased to present an exhibit of the recent works of Thai Mainhard. Thai is an abstract painter and Shasta College alum who works and lives in Los Angeles, California. Originally from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Thai draws inspiration from human experiences and the tensions found in daily life. The exhibition will be on display from January 16-March 29, 2024, at the Shasta College Art Gallery. There will be an artist’s lecture on Wednesday, January 24, 2024 at 10:00-10:50 p.m. in room 806, with a reception to follow at 11:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. in Building 300. This event is free and open to the public.

Ms. Mainhard’s use of dense colors combined with loose mark-making expresses the pull she feels to the untouchable and what can be seen. Her artwork expresses the interplay between the spiritual and the real, and the components that make up our lives that are more tangible than we realize. Thai strives to capture a fragment of what life could look like in an ideal world without any intentional representation of physical objects. In her opinion, that is what makes abstract art so powerful. 

Thai is a 2016 graduate of Shasta College who is represented by galleries in Los Angeles, New York, Boston, Naples (Italy), Geneva (Switzerland), and London (England).

The Shasta College Art Gallery is open Monday / Wednesday 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Tuesday / Thursday 8:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m., Friday 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. For additional information, please contact Susan Schimke at schimke@shastacollege.edu.

Usual & Unusual is an extraordinary art gallery exhibition featuring the captivating works of two accomplished artists, Deborah Curtis and Justin King. Through their distinct approaches, Curtis and King explore the beauty and transience of nature, shedding light on the intricate relationships between man, the environment, and the ephemeral nature of life.
Deborah Curtis, a visionary artist, transforms single-use plastics and disposable materials into stunning works of representational art. In her intricate pieces, Curtis masterfully repurposes discarded plastic bottles, breathing new life into them as they evolve into intricate depictions of birds, flowers, and forests. The seamless transformation challenges viewers to reconsider the value and impact of natural resources, while Curtis's commitment to engaging her audiences in artistic discourse amplifies the urgency of environmental conservation.
Justin King, on the other hand, presents a unique perspective on the floral theme by capturing the subtle beauty of flowers in their later stages of life. King's keen observation of aging blooms reveals a nuanced exploration of color, form, and texture as they undergo transformations influenced by time, weather, and life's inevitable adversities. His larger-than-life, shaped panel paintings serve as both a testament to the delicate aesthetics of fading flowers and a commentary on the cyclical nature of life and decay. King's innovative use of shaped panels adds a sculptural dimension to his paintings, allowing them to exist as both two-dimensional artworks and tangible objects.
Together, Deborah Curtis and Justin King present a harmonious dialogue on the interconnectedness of art, nature, and the human experience. "Usual & Unusual" encourages reflection on the delicate balance between preservation and transformation, urging viewers to consider their role in the ever-evolving narrative of our natural world.

Old City Hall is located at 1313 Market Street in Redding, CA. This gallery is open to all ages and free to visit. Gallery hours are Tuesday-Friday from 10:00-4:00 and Saturday from 10:00-3:00.
