FRIDAY JUNE 17
Artist Reception and Opening Party
Creature Heroes
Recent work by Damon Soule, Matt Furie and NoMe
9pm - until
Mark your calendars now for the much anticipated art opening for "Creature Heroes" featuring new work by Damon Soule, Matt Furie and Nome. Celebrated San Francisco painter Damon Soule is one of the leading artists to emerge from the Bay Area's vibrant graffiti art scene. His mixed media works center around an imaginary comic universe with a widely-recognized cast of hybridized man/machine characters, each of whom continue to evolve, age and morph after nearly a decade. With exploding robots, cartoonlike animals, design riffs and urban automata, Soule's works capture the raw energy of urban life with invigorating style. This will be the artist's first exhibition since moving to New York nearly two years ago.
In addition, the show features new work by NoMe, who's formalist blob-like paintings explore the lyrical potential of graffiti and word-drawings. By abandoning the decipherable qualities or "hidden truth" of the graffiti text and focusing on the inter play of rhythmic form and pure color, the artist frees graffiti from language altogether making a kind of "sculptural creature" which owes as much to blob-design as to the discourse of urban art and graffiti writing.
Finally, local emerging artist Matt Furie makes very small and intricate drawings of his imaginary aliens, monsters, and oddly beautiful mise en sc?nes. In like manner, his cast of creatures extend beyond their often normalized settings, conjuring up familiar science fiction narratives and kitschy futuristic diasporas
