The artwork of Point Richmond artist Steve Hurst will exhibit throughout the month of September in the newly renovated Bridge Storage and ArtSpace main gallery. The exhibit will showcase a retrospective body of work, including paintings, illustrations, and clocks— spanning over 40 years.
Raised in Chicago’s Ida B. Wells projects, artist Steve Hurst sees beauty and value in things others might just throw out. He made his first clock in 1990, after seeing an ad in Popular Mechanics selling spare clock parts, which he bought and combined with a pair of bookends he’d had for years. Now, his one-of-a-kind wall, mantel, and table clocks incorporate found objects and tell a story as well as time.
They also have names, such as “The Joy of Rising Everyday” and “Caller EyeDee.” Most of Hurst’s work is done on commission, in which he incorporates at least one object treasured by the buyer, and he is hoping to work with North County fire victims to reimagine saved items.
In addition, at the reception on Sunday, September 23, from 2pm to 6pm, Steve will show off his singing skills, accompanied by Oakland pianist, Ben Flint. He’ll also do readings from his book in-progress. Steve was recently named “Best Creator of Clocks” in East Bay Express’ “Best of the East Bay 2018”. He is “Artist in Residence” at Bridge Storage and ArtSpace. Join us to celebrate his work!
