    SFMOMA Artists Gallery: Real and True - Janet Delaney, Rachel Kline, James Torlakson, Kendall Waldman.

    Comment by AB: Are realistic representations art or are they just another form of reportage? This show of paintings and photography would seem to indicate the former.

    Eleanor Harwood Gallery: Laura Paulini - Shimmer.

    Review by Clare Coppel: Large acrylic on panel paintings by Laura Paulini kind of remond me of The Matrix except more pretty and big crosses.

    Comment by AB: Mindbogglingly meditatively painstaking paintings by Laura Paulini are composed of countless identically sized dots on top of innumerable regimented stripes, every last one of them applied with inconceivable accuracy. Special added bonus-- the artworks gratify either close up or at a distance. The artist tells me that each painting takes months to produce. They're apparently being well received; the show is almost completely sold out as of opening night. Certainly worth a visit (don't forget your magnifying glass).
