Mini mystery

Yes, he is the tinker, musician, musical-instrument maker and printmaker with the alias Art Lessing: Sacramento’s Renaissance man Dan Quillan. His current series of etches on display at B. Sakata Garo this month are dark and mysterious, with delivery trucks quietly breaking the blackness of night—they mark Quillan’s anticipation of the arrival of his first child earlier this year.

Also exhibiting is Lynn Klein and Dennis Raines, the latter of which photographs miniature toys with an ultra-shallow depth of field and sometimes out of focus altogether in order to create his own visual mystery and narrative with these tiny objects.
