I wrote a review of Bill Kane's gorgeous show up now at Themes+Projects in San Francisco. You can see it in person through October 25. Below are the first lines. Read the rest at @roborantreview : /reviews/bill-kane-light-bodies-themes-and-projects
Everything You Know Is False
By Scott Snibbe Bill Kane's striking abstract color-field work began, like many creative discoveries, with a problem. Hoping to enliven the walls of his Petaluma Buddhist center with portraits of great masters, he found his teacher forbidding any guru’s depiction behind the sangha's backs. Determined to decorate this blank wall, he digitally scanned and deconstructed a traditional Tibetan Buddhist thangka painting of 12th-century Buddhist master Geshe Chekawa, then simplified and filtered it, eventually condensing it into an abstract, rectilinear composition. Pleased with the intuitive bliss the image sparked in him, he had the abstraction sewn into four vertical silk tapestries with a striking red central square evoking the interdependent field of emptiness from which all things emerge. This seminal work, Chekawa, now hangs outside Themes and Projects Gallery at San Francisco's Minnesota Street project as the welcome to his two-month exhibition, Light Bodies...
👀 Let’s move our attention to the beauty of the right wall of the gallery that consists of this grid of six by Bill Kane ( @billkane2 ).
🟥 🟨 🟦
🟩 🟦 🟧
ML-30, ML-4, ML-23
ML-2, ML-31, ML-24
Each of the six pieces measure 22 inches tall by 22 inches wide and are lenticular photographs on wooden back frame, with an edition size of 7.
The first three slides are still shots of the art. The fourth slide is a video helping to convey the transition from one perspective to the next. Also note how the surface catches the light to add the illusion of depth to the composition.
To experience these amazing artworks for yourself, “Light Bodies” by Bill Kane is on view at @themesandprojects gallery from September 6 through October 25, 2025!
🏢 Themes+Projects gallery is located in the 2nd floor of the 1275 building of the @minnesotastreetproject in San Francisco’s Dogpatch arts district. Open Tuesday through Saturday from 11am -5pm. Closed on Sunday and Monday.

From left to right:
🟩 LenEM-308 Tenzin
🟧 LenEM-39 Naropa
🟪 LenEM-317 Lotsawa
The first two slides are still shots of the art. One view is head-on and the other is off to the side. The third slide is a video helping to convey the transition from one perspective to the next.
Each of the three pieces measure 76 inches tall by 21 inches wide and are lenticular photographs on wooden back frame, with an edition size of 3.
