Appealing photography at Appel

Pacific Northwest artist Robin Bartholick has worked as a commercial photographer for the likes of Nintendo, American Airlines, Microsoft, Ford Motors and Starbucks. So you wouldn&Rsquo;t expect his upcoming photography exhibit at Appel Gallery to be very interesting. But while some of his digitally tricked-out photography has the gloss of (imaginative) stock art, his other works range to an intriguing, sometimes dreamy and sometimes dark, City of Lost Children aesthetic. 6/14 through 7/31. 931 T Street; (916) 442-6014; www.appelgallery.com/index.asp.
