Gaps and Glances

A Solo Exhibition by Sarah K. Horowitz

August 15 – September 30, 2025
Ingleside Gallery at Ballast Coffee, 329 W. Portal Ave, San Francisco

In Gaps and Glances, Sarah K. Horowitz brings together two compelling series that speak to the quiet spaces we overlook and the deeper truths we often leave unspoken.

 

Her Secret Views paintings capture the city’s in-between spaces—backyards framed by fire escapes, balconies seen through branches, and windows just out of reach. These scenes evoke a sense of intimacy, ambiguity, and stillness.

 

In contrast and conversation, her Gender Wage Gap paintings translate economic data into stark, visual compositions—elegiac, personal, and quietly confrontational. These works bear witness to what’s still missing.

 

This is Sarah’s first solo exhibition in San Francisco. We’re honored to share her thoughtful, rigorous work with the community.

Opening Reception was on Saturday, August 16, 2025
