CONTRAST opens at Low Gallery

CONTRAST featuring works by Tiffany Bozic, Mike Giant, Jeremy Fish, and Mat O'Brien opens Saturday, October 22 from 6-9 at Low Gallery. The exhibit runs from October 22 - November 20, 2005.

Group show featuring black and white drawings including installation.

"Tiffany Bozic's works on paper demonstrate her drafting virtuosity in stark relief; and the precise naturalism of her technique migrates to her paintings, combining with the rather esoteric subject matter to create a kind of surrealism derived from erotic archetypes of the natural world that is essentially Humanist, lyrical and spiritual." -Shana Nys Dambrot

Jeremy Fish is an artist/ illustrator based in san franciscos gloomy outer sunset. He is the co-owner and designer for the Unbelievers skateboard company. His work is a blend of cute and creepy. Using a basic language of charachters and symbols, Jeremy tells simple stories about real life. He works mainly in black and white, pen and paper, but also painting, woodworking, screenprinting, and sculpting as well. His work has appeared in galleries all across the us and around the world. Jeremy enjoys the color brown, old vans, pretty girls, sunsets by the beach, skinning up, saying "nice one", and all things Lebowski.

"Mat O'Brien seems to never be satisfied with one genra or a single point of view in the subject matter of his images. They seem derivated from cliche topics, a view of the sardonic, a friendly jab, or even a simple mans translation of a beautific expression. Although sometimes abstracted his influence's resinate with talk radio, a passing song lyric or a borrowed quote from a friend or author. His boundaries seem to keep him from the obvious or pretentious. This making his work more inviting. At least for now.... at least in his most recent images." -Dan Gallagher
