Axis Gallery
Richard Gilles’ untitled photo from his “Manipulated Landscapes Series” evokes the remnants of a modern deconstruction of a freeway overpass that suggests the ancient ruins of a Stonehenge-like structure. Examining human’s need to alter the environment in pursuit of progress, the black-and-white prints are up at Axis Gallery, 625 S St., Sacramento. www.axisgallery.org
Elliott Fouts Gallery
Paul Ferney’s new paintings of Southern California beach scenes evoke the pleasures of sunning or surfing on long summer days. Ferney, who is a noted plein-air painter, is the main attraction this month at Elliott Fouts Gallery, 1831 P St., Sacramento. 916-736-1429, efgallery.com
