Press Release
We are thrilled to announce an exhibition of rarely seen work by visionary Bay Area artist Ariel Reynolds Parkinson (1926 – 2017) organized by Zully Adler.
For every chapter of Bay Area bohemianism there was also Ariel, carving her own channels between what she called “Beat then Hip, then Rock, Love, the Natural World.” At first, in the late 1940s, she found herself among the poets and playwrights of the so-called Berkeley Bunch. Younger than many and one of few women, she maintained a sharp and sometimes ironic distance 9om their oblivious masculinity, even if she also enjoyed their “pacifist, anarcho-syn- dicalist, syncretist, pan-cultural gatherings.” Then she studied at the California School of Fine Arts, painting under Hassel Smith when “Dream was in, and Cosmos.” Afier that, the dawn of the hippie movement, walking to the Human Be-In with her young 9iend Allen Ginsberg and holding a sign that read “I Represent the Lower Animals.”
