Six Degrees of Separation
August 3rd, 6 - 12
Six Degrees of Separation is a Group show mixer with multiple artistic personalities sprawled along the cavernous walls of the new "The Mill Gallery", an annex of your favorite neoteric clip joint, "The Hide Gallery", and located in the same building. Presented at the opening, the wide spectrum of themes will stretch from socio-politics to ethereal nature.
Join us in this night of celebration as the unseen collaborative and solo artworks of several of the territories best painters, illustrators and sculptors collide in visual harmony like nothing you've ever seen.
Gore.b just moved back to his hometown, Santa Cruz, from New York, where he has been pursuing his art career for the last four years. His art works mostly with public space and is created from recycled goods that interact in a public environment. Gore.b has created works for this show that are all made from found materials and deal with local Santa Cruz history.
Elijah Pfotenhauer combines his mediums and methods on a variety of surfaces including canvas, screens and walls. Currently living in San Francisco, he plans to not stop making art.
Jayland Taylor is a water colorist hailing from northeast Ohio. He is currently residing in Santa Cruz, California to document the flora and fauna of the Central Coast.
Spencer Dempsey Jones approaches his art with energetic gestures and movements. This leaves room for many different types of mediums to mingle on a single piece. Much of his influence originates from the graffiti art scene, elemental infusions,and his method varies from finger-painting, crayons, to collage.
Quinn Bartels, a brilliant painter with a touch of something intangible and dark, makes her official debut in the art scene. She has been navigating the infamous Academy of Art, where she has been honing her skills as influenced by 1960's illustrators.
Adrian Rasmussen (Hide Gallery co-owner) focuses on the process of creation as a way of clearing the mind of constant everyday distractions. Rather than focusing on the content as the end result, he creates with an acceptance that the process is the end result.
Six Degrees of Separation begins to describe the closeness of humanity, and how close we all really are. How many people do you know? How many people do they know? If you extrapolate that over six degrees, we all basically know everyone. These six artists have come together for one cohesive artistic goal. Each artist with a different view, background, and style has come together to create a memorable experience of their unique collective brilliance.
