The shows will feature artists that don’t necessarily always create dark art but will do so for this show. Some of the artists are mainly “dark” in all of their works, so it should be a good mix of ideas.

Seen: Some Kind of Wonderful @ Gallery 1988 SF
The day after the Craola/Lister show I headed all the way back to San Francisco to enjoy the day a bit and see the “Some Kind of Wonderful” group show at Gallery 1988. The show features work by Cherri Wood, Mari Inukai, D’holbachi Yoko, Allison Sommers, Sarah Joncas and more.
This was the first time I have seen Allison Sommers work in person, and I was impressed. She really know how to use that gouache. It was amazing how intricate she was able to get in such small works. It was also nice to finally Sarah Joncas’ work in person as well. They are just as good as I imagined. The colors were perfect, bright and vibrant, you could see the works across the room. I am also becoming a huge fan of Mari Inukai. I love the colors and the massive texture that she gets in the paintings.

Here we go, these are the ones that are online for your viewing pleasure:“Imaginary Friends”, a group show featuring work by Andrew Bell, Cherri Wood, Israel Sanchez, Ken Garduno, Scott Campbell & Yoskay Yomamoto at the Gallery 1988 SF is now up.

“Destination Unknown” opened up and Distinction Art, and features work by Sarah Joncas, Angelina Wrona & Patrick Fatica. It’s a good looking show, as all the work by the three artists flows together nicely. It’s very cohesive. Check it out here: Distinction Art
“The Drawing Room” a show curated by Audrey Kawasaki opened Friday at Thinkspace. There is also work by Timothy Karpinski & Robert Pokorny in the project room. I think the Drawing Room show looks great, it’s nice to be able to see some graphite work from Travis Louie (shown), as well as Audrey (shown). I hope he puts more of that kind of work in some shows. Thinkspace Gallery
At the Cerasoli-Lebasse Gallery, you have two shows that opened up. Jill Simonson & Scott Belcastro, as well as “Put on a Happy Face” by Nate Frizzell. All the work here looks excellent, check it out: Cerasoli-Lebasse Gallery
The Copro Nason Gallery has work by Tin, Sas Christian & Kukula for you to gawk at. Tin is getting popular very fast, no works are left to purchase. I am not super happy with Sas’ work, I am a big fan, but these pieces just don’t have the same pop to them. Check out the show here: Copro Nason Gallery
