    Paintings

    Gallery 16 is excited to present our first solo exhibition of paintings by Oakland artist Bill Ward. Ward’s paintings and drawings are meditations on the objects, people, and environments that shape our daily lives. Ward’s paintings create complex, layered scenes featuring the everyday objects in his studio, curiosities and attractions in his own Oakland neighborhood. His paintings radiate with energy and explore both the real and the imagined.
