Under Pressure: Painting with Air

Though a hip medium in the world of commercial art today, airbrush is actually a 19th century invention. Comprised of 40 works wide-ranging in theme and style, this exhibition showcases the creations of noteworthy artists who have chosen airbrush as their primary medium of expression.

Featured masters Don Eddy, Jerry Ott and George Green (1943—2020) were part of the earliest known exhibition of airbrushed art, 40 years ago in San Jose, California. Bruce Evans, Alan Pastrana, Cesar Santander, Hisaya Taira, and Dru Blair are regarded among the very best to have ever worked in the medium. Blair is widely known as much for his art as he is for his mentorship — this exhibition also includes the work of several of his most notable protégés, who are now well established artists in their own right.
