Dolby Chadwick Gallery
Since its inception in 1997, Dolby Chadwick Gallery has hosted over 280 curated exhibitions. “What makes the gallery unique and what we love and care about most is making a big impact on living artists’ lives,” says owner Lisa Dolby Chadwick. “After 33 years on this path, the Dolby Chadwick Gallery has a rich and beautiful community of artists, collectors, writers and curators.” A solo show by painter Alex Kanevsky, Field Work, runs now through Jan. 3. Kanevsky’s oil works highlight a visual fluidity and sensuality with movement not often seen in paintings. 210 Post St., Ste. 205, 415.956.3560, dolbychadwickgallery.com

Caldwell Snyder
Although Caldwell Snyder has three galleries in California, the original opened in SoMa in 1983. Today, the team, headed by Oliver Caldwell and Susan Snyder, is renowned for its international reach and long-lasting relationships with artists and collectors. A show by Siddharth Parasnis is on display now through Dec. 23. His paintings feature geometric boats and landscapes that balance a sense of place with brilliant color. 341 Sutter St., 415.392.2299, caldwellsnyder.com
CK Contemporary
A landmark exhibition by Robert Kipniss, who at 94 is one of the world’s greatest living printmakers, is now showing at CK Contemporary through Jan. 10. “We have artists ranging in age from their 20s to their 90s, they live across multiple continents and they work in so many different styles and media,” says director Lauren Ellis. “Making those connections and facilitating the life cycle of a work of art—which might be made in Portugal, sold in San Francisco and find a home in Australia—will never not feel exciting to me.” Despite its prestige, Ellis and her team are as warm and welcoming to first-time art buyers as they are to collectors. 246 Powell St., 415.397.0114, ckcontemporary.com
