Real Time and Space is excited to host REAL TALKS with resident artist Anais De Los Santos and special guest Paige Valentine on Thursday, March 27th from 6-8pm PST at RTS located at 125 10th St. Oakland.
Anais De Los Santos (b.1996) grew up in suburban New Jersey and received her BFA from the San Francisco Art Institute in 2019. Working mainly in ceramic sculpture, she utilizes her background in drawing and film to transform ceramic surfaces. She has worked in clay studios between the Bay Area, Philadelphia and New York City. Centering a DIY approach to her practice, Anais prefers to collaborate with young artists in her community, curating art shows, holding weekly ceramic workshops and hosting a monthly drawing club. She is currently based in Brooklyn.
Paige Valentine (b.1996, Los Angeles) is an East Bay-based multidisciplinary artist who merges painting and ceramics with themes of humor, tenderness, grief and interspecies connection. Her ceramics often defy traditional functionality, creating scenes through combined and assembled elements. She graduated from the San Francisco Art Institute in 2018 with a BFA in Painting. She has had two solo exhibitions at Pt.2 Gallery (Oakland, CA) and has exhibited in group shows across the Bay Area, Los Angeles, New York, Europe, and more.
