Artists Imagine Disaster at 1AM Gallery

On September 28, San Francisco's 1AM Gallery will open a new group show, "Reckoning," featuring art by Robert Bowen, Leon Loucheur, Monty Guy, Optimist, Pemex and Chamber Made. An investigation of our society's preoccupation with eminent disaster (it is, after all, 2012), the show features aggressive, edgy works that use surrealism to explore our worst fears of an imagined doom's day. 1AM Gallery recently sent over some photos of the artist's works in progress, take a look below.
