SF Art Galleries - Openings & Events Event source calendar Event Link: see venue calendar above ^^ Gabe Weis | Containing Multitudes Opening Reception: Thursday, 12 November, 5:30 - 8:00p Exhibition runs through Wednesday, 23 December An envelope-pushing blend of neo-Cubism and street art, the paintings of Gabe Weis shake viewers from any semblance of complacency. In Containing Multitudes, Weis addresses the canvas with renewed energy and palpable ferocity. His multifaceted visages—fragmented, layered, and assembled through shifting perspectives—explore the complexities of human relationships, from intimate connections to fleeting encounters. Drawing on the fractured perspectives of Pablo Picasso and George Condo, alongside the raw immediacy and cultural references of Jean-Michel Basquiat, Weis creates compositions in which contradictory emotions and competing identities coexist. Artifacts of popular culture ground these works in contemporary life, balancing disruption with tenderness and revealing the persistent desire for connection beneath the masks we all wear. ―――――――――― location provided by event source: "39 Grant Ave, San Francisco, CA 94108, USA" SF Stuff To Do
