Chandler Gallery is pleased to present Flora + Fauna, a group exhibition on view from September 12th through October 24th, 2026. Please join us for an opening reception from 5 to 7pm on September 12th at 1150 25th Street in San Francisco. All are welcome to attend.
Flora + Fauna brings together work by seventeen artists: Mari Andrews, Gale Antokal, Shannon Belardi, Patrick Berran, Paola Bignù, Renée Bott, Tiffany Bozic, Squeak Carnwath, Mary Chasen, Jamie Emerick, Gianluca Franzese, Lachlan Hinwood, Haley Mellin, Lekha Singh, Ryan Steadman, Nicole Wittenberg, and Adam Wolpert. These artists share a subject as old as the impulse to make an image at all: the natural world, and our long attempt to see it clearly, not just with the eyes, but through attention and investigation. In their hands, that seeing becomes a kind of storytelling
What connects these works is a human eye that is curious, reverent, and inextricably implicated. Whether rendered with scientific precision or pulsing abstraction, with admiration or a quiet unease, the plants and animals in the exhibition are not merely subjects. They are interlocutors: the things we look at in order to better understand ourselves, and where we stand in the vastness of it all.
