i see a narrative across the seven prints.

the show also features a new series of Tiffany's paintings on maple. if you are in san francisco, this is worth checking out in person.

Andrew Schoultz @ Marx & Zavattero

i stopped by Andrew Schoultz' installation of his new solo show, "In Gods We Trust," @ Marx & Zavattero in san francisco on august 27 and september 3.

Andrew continues to push chaos with even more depth and layers in this new work.


the work rewards the careful viewer -- note the currency embedded in the sails


below are some highlights.




















the show includes a huge installation



(Alex Lukas assisted Andrew with the installation)

and make sure to check out Andrew's show in person (it runs through october 25th). Andrew is one of the hardest working and most prolific artists that i know of and this show highlights some new directions in his spectacular output.

Matt Petty of sfgate also visited Andrew's installation and posted a video here.
