On View: “Au9usto” Group Show at Gauntlet Gallery

Currently on view at Gauntlet Gallery in San Francisco is "Au9usto" — as the title suggests, a playful group show featuring nine artists with a penchant for experimentation. There's the dark surrealism of Wednesday Kirwan, a fully-functional guillotine sculpture by Sam Lamott and heavily tattooed vintage celebrity portraits by Cheyenne Randall. Bennett Slater offers an irreverent take on neo-Classicism, Justin Hopkins distorts perspectives and Rebecca Adams takes us into a Richter-esque time warp. Take a look at some of the works in the show and catch the exhibition on view through September 20.

Peter Jansen’s Sculptures of Human Motions in Sequences

English photographer Eadweard Muybridge became a pioneer of capturing movement when he took position on a popularly-debated question of the day: his photographic sequences proved that all four feet of a horse were inexplicably off the ground at the same time while trotting.

The project observes the dynamism of the human figure in motion and the visual magic that occurs when we slow things down, frame by frame.

A Watercolor London Painted by Marija Tiurina

Rendered in watercolors, a vision of London is cast by illustrator Marija Tiurina that took months to complete. The artist says the piece wasn't planned or sketched, despite its complexity, as she opted to create it in a "a purely intuitive way."

Christopher David White’s Ceramic Sculptures Mimic Nature, Humanity

Christopher David White says that “human is to nature as skin is to bark – as roots are to veins.” The artist's striking ceramic sculptures attempt to reconcile humanity’s rightful relationship with the natural world, one long abandoned for consumption and convenience.

Adam S. Doyle's oil paintings of animals and fantasy creatures emphasize the physicality of his medium. He appears to paint entire realistic creatures using just a few pronounced strokes, evoking the intentionality required for writing calligraphy. Doyle's subjects are often woodland animals like wolves, rabbits, and crows, though he has other series inspired by mythology and folklore. His paintings resemble a dance between paint and brush and simultaneously remind us of his process while whisking away our imaginations with the final result.
