Sheltered Layers Perfectly Still by Nathan DeYoung
Last Thursday, San Franciscans could leave their computer screens and get a taste of an L.A. gallery normally only accessible to us through the Internet or the occasional trip down south. Thinkspace Gallery premiered their group show, “Synergy,” at Spoke Art, where many of their represented artists came together to showcase a diverse array of bold, contemporary styles. The show’s subject matter ranged from cute to cryptic, giving the Bay Area a taste of what’s to come at Thinkspace this year, as many of the artists have solo shows coming down the pike. From David Cooley’s cartoon-inspired creations to Craig “Skibs” Barker’s mysterious portraits, the diverse show represents low-brow art at its best. Take a look at some photos from the opening night. – Nastia Voynovskaya
