“Menagerie” at Modern Eden Gallery

This past Saturday, San Francisco's Modern Eden Gallery opened its group show "Menagerie," an animal themed exhibit benefitting the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Works by artists Chelsea Brown, Robert Bowen, Helice Wen, Archer Dougherty, Mary Syring and a dozen or so others were on view and will continue to be until March 4th. The works range from dark pieces resonating occult themes and populated by wildlife, to whimsical and even kitschy cartoonish critters that pull inspiration from pop culture. View more images of the artwork and opening night photos after the jump. Marisa Ware

We recently stayed at the 21c Art Museum Hotel in St.Louis as well as the 21c in Bentonville, Arkansas and had the best time. 21c locations combine actual contemporary art museum gallery exhibitions which are free and open to the general public. Read our hifructos.ecom exclusive interview with 21c's curator Alice Gray Stites by clicking above.
Gil Bruvel’s work seems to be both modern and craft movement inspired at the same time. They are made of hundreds of parts; intricate, yet, when those parts are viewed from a distance, are smooth and cohesive. We’ve asked the artist to delve into his process and themes and a bit of his background as an artist. Click the image above to read our Hi-Fructose exclusive with the artist

(Above: Drone photo by stephan pruitt/fiasco media) We are living in even stranger times. While fires are ravaging Los Angeles on the west coast of the United States, affecting many of our friends and collaborators, the scores of artists in Asheville affected by Hurricane Helene in December are still reeling from the loss of their homes and studios. To provide support, Bender Gallery has organized an art show with their local artists to support the River Arts District. Click above to read all about it and see a few works on display.
