Featured Artist

Each month Gallery 10 features a solo artist or a themed show that will be of special interest to the community and our collectors. A public reception is held on the first Saturday of each month to honor the participating artists. The Gallery 10 reception is held from 2 p.m. until 4 p.m. with refreshments available, free of charge, to our guests. This special event is aligned with the “Amador Art Trek” a free, self-guided tour of the Gold Country’s local galleries and businesses that feature local artwork.

Please check this web site at the beginning of each month to learn about our current Featured Exhibit.

Dave Manousos

No.9 Series and Characters in Abstract

Dave Manousos is a fine artist originally from Oakland, CA, currently residing in Northern California Gold Country. His artwork is regularly showcased in various regions including the San Francisco Bay Area, northern California Sacramento region, and Southern California, including Las Laguna and San Diego. Additionally, he has exhibited his work in numerous locations on the east coast as well as in Zurich, Switzerland.

Specializing in acrylic medium painting, Manousos is best known for his “Big Eye Collection.” This collection seamlessly combines his illustration and painting techniques, prominently featuring an oversized eye on one side of the face.

His artwork is characterized by vibrant colors, textured layers, and abstract shapes, all of which work together to depict nostalgic imagery of individuals from his own life. Manousos seeks to capture fragmented moments and preserve history through his art. Drawing inspiration from memories of past relationships, family members, and significant life events, his paintings serve as narratives of profound interpersonal connections.

With his art, Manousos aims to evoke nostalgia, stir deep emotions, and leave a lasting impression on those who experience his creations.
