Exhibit June 18 - July 19, 2022; Artist reception Saturday, June 18, 2-4 pm
NOW & THEN: The Art of Blane Asrat, Joseph JD Green, and Mari Tepper
Join us for the artist reception on Saturday, June 18, 2-4 pm. Exhibit runs through July 19.
NOW & THEN reflects the cycles through which artists come of age in each generation. Blane Asrat and Joseph JD Green are up and coming San Francisco contemporary BIPOC artists, both with bold, evocative styles; Mari Tepper came of age as a young woman in the male dominated art scene of the 1960s.
Blane Asrat came to San Francisco seven years ago from Texas, earning a degree from the Academy of Art. Her work explores the sensitivity of everyday experience, with a focus on emotional and narrative portraiture and figurative art, and each piece involves evocative multilayered imagery, often combining physical and digital process using oil, acryla-gouache, charcoal, and digital mediums. This layering of processes deepens the viewers connection to the piece, creating a strong sense connection between the viewer and the art work. Joseph "JD" Green's work demonstrates an eye for detail combined with a penchant for quick handwork. He creates preliminary sketches from source imagery found online or from his imagination, and the result of his unique and intricate mark making are stunning pieces with an internal energy and movement that belies their two dimensions. Hayes Valley's Mari Tepper entered San Francisco's contemporary art scene at the age of 18, during the explosive countercultural psychedelic poster movement of the mid 1960s. Originally hired by impresario Bill Graham on behalf of the SF Mime Troupe and eventually Bill Graham Presents at the Fillmore and Winterland Auditoriums, Tepper created some of the era's most distinctive and powerful work. Especially important are Tepper's works conveying strong human rights sentiments, such as HALLELUJAH THE PILL.
