audio visual

Come on by next Friday, July 23, 7-10PM, for our latest show called Audio Visual, featuring a collection of works honoring one of art and artists' most beloved companions, music. Eight of our usual partners in crime are participating in the show, and it's going to be a fun one.

We'll also be having our usual Street Food Fridays so get ready to feast, not just your eyes, but your mouth as well on the culinary artistry of Soul Cocina, Toasty Melts, Pearl's Kitchen, and Sweet Constructions. We hope to see you!

inside outside

Please join us next Saturday, July 10, 7-10PM, for the opening of our biggest show to date, Inside Outside, featuring indoor and outdoor works in our brand-new sculpture garden by Daniel James Burt and Romanowski in collaboration with Flora Grubb Gardens.

Exploring the concept of “inside” beauty being brought outside, and vice versa, this collection of sculpture and assemblage features work that is both organic and man-made. Plant life inhabits art in living, growing pieces throughout the existing gallery, while artwork makes it way outdoors into our recently-expanded garden.

Daniel James Burt is a San Francisco-based sculptor whose intuitive style integrates mixed media to create installations and stand-alone sculptures. His use of body parts to create a series of landscapes as a means of portraiture garnered a commission that rests alongside a Ruth Asawa sculpture. He has a BFA from the University of New Mexico as well as an MFA from Academy of Art University, where he currently teaches graduate level Figure Modeling and Anatomy.

Romanowski is a Swiss-born artist, musician, and DJ who has made San Francisco his home since 1988. His keen sense of style and extraordinary talent for vintage shopping has made him one of the most sought-after DJs and collectibles hustlers this side of Zurich. His artwork includes top-notch spray stencil pieces and found object assemblages that are coveted by music and design aficionados around the world.

Inside Outside will be on exhibit from July 2 through August 2. Don't miss it.

For four days only -- May 14-17 -- we'll be showing his recent works, including pieces from his recent residency at the SF Dump, as we gear up for our next group show, Painted Ladies (opening May 22), as well as his upcoming solo show in September.

In addition to Erik Otto's artwork, Sunday will see a daytime party featuring a special radio broadcast from Grown Kids Radio, live painting, a fun BBQ (bring your own), free iced coffee courtesy of Stiff Coffee, the ever-famous Creme Brulee Cart, and loads of fun.

supernatural gallery pix

If you haven't yet had a chance to SuperNatural, you can view it online or visit our galleries before May 10. Many thanks to our jurors, artists Leon Loucheur, Erik Otto, and Ursula X Young.

chamber made

Chamber Made is the moniker of collab duo Leon Loucheur and Mike Gallegos. The artists and long-time friends had been riffing off each other for awhile but last year decided to delve further into the team effort. With Loucheur providing the realist angle and Gallegos bringing the graffiti sensibility, their pieces evoke a modern balance that most anyone can appreciate.

These two acrylic and graphite pieces, "We All Owe A Death" (top) and "Lonesome West" (bottom), arrived at fabric8 Galleries a little while ago, and "We All Owe A Death" is still available for US$ 250. Email us for more info, and look out for these guys at a gallery near you.
