Facades: Mid-Market Landmarks, Paintings by Patricia Araujo
San Francisco History Days, Sept 25th-27th, 2020
Slideshow featuring original images, text and narration by Patricia Araujo
[See video!]
For “San Francisco History Days 2020”, Patricia Araujo is presenting a slideshow featuring work from her “Facades: Mid-Market Landmarks” series, as well as information about her books and highlights of her past exhibitions which also include at the Old U.S. Mint during San Francisco History Days of the past.
While living in San Francisco’s SoMa (“South of Market”), Patricia Araujo witnessed the changes taking place in this redeveloping neighborhood, and found herself enchanted by the rich architectural history of that area and the decayed beauty that remains. Her fascination with domes, towers, sacred and municipal structures began with daily observations of the Golden Gate Theatre at Sixth and Market.
Since the late 1990’s, Patricia Araujo has painted the facades of both iconic city landmarks and abandoned downtown buildings. Araujo’s stately, abstract paintings depict praiseworthy examples of the city’s architecture, some utilitarian and others grandly ornamental. She portrays survivors of Beaux-Arts San Francisco, such as the Hibernia Bank and the Old Emporium dome. Other notable landmarks include the Warfield, the Forgotten Fox Theatre, the Old Mint, the Marriott Marquis, the Thermal plants of 6th & Jessie Streets, and the new high-rise additions in SoMa.
