About the City Hall Gallery Program

The Solana Beach City Hall Gallery is an unique space dedicated to supporting local artists by providing a complimentary, high-traffic venue to display their work. The program hosts six exhibitions each year, each lasting two months, featuring a rotating display of artistic talent through solo, group, or curated exhibits. The gallery has showcased a variety of art forms, such as watercolors, photographs, recycled metal sculptures, children’s art, and painted surfboards.

Located inside Solana Beach City Hall, the gallery is open to the public during regular business hours and during opening receptions. The City hosts a special opening reception for each exhibit, inviting the public to come view the art and meet the artists.

About the Exhibit

Uwe is a realist, but not photo realist. His sea and landscapes portray the ocean's cyclic moods and powerful grace, reflecting his life long fascination with the natural world and his desire to depict its beauty. His love for the color and beauty of the desert is also represented in this exhibition. This exhibition shows a cross section, but not all of Uwe's subjects of interest.

Artist Statement

Born in Germany, Uwe has lived in the USA since 1952. He is a graduate of the University of Washington in Seattle with his degree in art. After returning from Viet Nam he settled in Coronado and established himself as a professional artist having made this his sole career. His work has been carried in numerous galleries and he has had many one man shows. He has also been featured in many newspaper and magazine articles including Southwest Art.
