Larry Calof’s “Hidden Treasures of Bisti Badlands” at Portola Art Gallery in Menlo Park throughout May. After a successful 30-year career in corporate and securities law, Larry Calof rediscovered his passion for photography. His travels seeking subjects brought him to the Bisti/De-Na-Zin Wilderness area, covering 45,000 acres of rolling badlands just north of Farmington, New Mexico. There, time and natural elements have etched a fantasy world of strange rock formations of sandstone, shale, mudstone, coal and silt. Through May 31, Portola Art Gallery presents “Hidden Treasures of the Bisti Badlands,” a collection of photographic images from Calof’s trip to this remarkable place. A reception for the artist will be held on 1-p.m. Saturday, May 18. Portola Art Gallery is located within the historic Allied Arts Guild, 75 Arbor Road in Menlo Park. For more information call (650) 321-0220 or visit http://www.portolaartgallery.com/.
