Jeffrey DeVore’s paintings are the antithesis of washed-out. What he commits to canvas are mundane stills of everyday life, and his scenes of contrasting dark reds and blues and black can make for a chaotic perspective. DeVore’s work has hung on the walls of many Sacramento galleries and restaurants in the past few years, and this month, he adds another venue and show to his résumé with The Doll Auction at Blue Moon Gallery.
