Nathaniel Parsons has a large solo up at Alphonse Berber Gallery in Berkeley titled “WITH.” There is a wide array of Nathaniel’s paintings, sculptures, and installations. Everything he makes has a warm handmade quality that I find quite charming but at the same time the work contains an inner narrative that feels quite strange. Of course I also find the strangeness compelling. In most of the works there are familiar references to oddball Americana but there there is some associated text or titles that put an unusual spin on things. The Alphonse Berber Gallery, run by Cameron Jackson and Jessica Cox, is moving to San Francisco. “WITH” is a nice final show in the current space. This show runs through July 31.
