Cooks. Know n for her bronze sculptures and metal public art visible throughout Northe rn California\, Diana Pumpelly Bates\, (MA 1987\, MFA 1989) began her care er as a painter and printmaker. In the 1960s\, she explored themes of unit y\, beauty\, and family in large-scale canvases and small prints. Bates’ curious forms express movement and energy. The unique\, two-toned\, chrom atic pairing in each composition offers vibrations of color. From a distan ce\, the silhouetted shapes appear as single forms. A closer look shows mu ltiple elements united to make a whole. Based on her experiences of family formations and interpersonal relationships\, Bates considers each paintin g a combination of codes and secrets\, and nonsense and beauty that give h er life.\n\nAs a student at SJSU in the 1980s\, she discovered her love fo r sculpture and spent most of her time in the art foundry. There she disti lled her interests in three-dimensional works inspired by natural forms. S everal of these works have become part of our shared visual culture throug h public commissions for public parks\, rails stations\, buildings\, and a bridge in San José\, San Francisco\, Pleasanton\, Sacramento\, and Sunny vale. Other smaller scale bronze work was inspired by the Baháí faith\, African American literature\, and Bates’ everyday experiences. Diana Pum pelly Bates: Unity Revolution brings together the artist’s painting\, pr ints\, and sculptural works for the first time.
