Andy Vogel: Chasing the Light presents landscape paintings of the Santa Barbara area rooted in the California Impressionist tradition. Vogel pursues atmospheric transformations — tidal ebbs, shifting shadows, morning warmth softening hillside lines — at magnetic locations both well-known and personally significant. For Vogel, painting these places is an act of protection and documentation, cataloguing delicate and threatened environments for preservation. The works pause at moments when fog dissolves into sunlight, green turns to sunburnt yellow, and the vague California seasons blend and shift.
