A Living Landscape
Alejandro Rubio’s “The Green Man” invites viewers into another, greener, world.
In the back corner of The Orchard Galleries on 25, artist Alejandro Rubio sat in his sun dappled studio surrounded by his paintings. In a color palette reminiscent of Seurat, but with a texture that seems to be a cousin to Mission School muralism, Rubio’s paintings demand a long first look. And then a second.
The Vision Behind The Orchard Galleries
Peter Dreyfuss
Founder, Artist & Curator
For Peter Dreyfuss, art is more than an object—it is a conversation, a connection, and a way of bringing people together. As a painter, sculptor, and founder of The Orchard Galleries, Peter envisioned a space where creativity could flourish beyond the walls of a traditional gallery.
Located in the heart of Oakland's vibrant arts district, the gallery is home to a carefully curated collection of contemporary art, celebrating originality and artistic expression across a variety of mediums.
Peter's vision is to cultivate more than exhibitions, a cultural destination where creativity is celebrated, conversations are sparked, and every visitor leaves inspired by the power of art to transform perspectives and connect people.
