40 x 400
On Saturday, January 10th, Flower Pepper Gallery is pleased to present 40 x 400, curated by Mark Todd. 40 x 400 is a collection of 8” x 10” works by a diverse roster of 40 acclaimed artists. Each piece will be priced at $400, giving new and seasoned collectors alike an opportunity to add highly desirable pieces from sought after artists such as Jim Houser and Shark Toof to their collection. From the elegantly executed yet grotesquely satirical oil paintings of today’s society by Sean Norvet to the quirky and incredibly cute cartoonish works of Amanda Visell, this show offers something for everyone. These pieces will go quickly, so arrive early! Pre sales are encouraged. The show’s curator, Mark Todd says of his inspiration behind 40 x 400, “There is something I find interesting about curating a gallery show with a set size restriction. This may sound anti-creative or stifling in some way but I see it as a way to mesh a group of artists together without favoring any one artist. By sharing the same amount of space to explore, the artists are given equal opportunity to have a conversation with the viewer. For this show, all of the pieces will be priced at $400 each and the 40 invited artists were asked to create a piece measuring 8" x 10" vertical. I intentionally chose this very unassuming standard size as a way to let the art just be.”

Sametan: Don't Tread On Me
SAMETAN: DON'T TREAD ON ME PangeaSeed in collaboration with Tokyo-based vinyl toy designer Cometdebris (Koji Harmon), are pleased to announce our latest shark-saving effort: Sametan – Don’t Tread on Me For one weekend only, March 29-30, 2013, at the Spoke Art Gallery in San Francisco, we will host a one of a kind art exhibition featuring 30 custom Sametan vinyl figures designed by 30 global artists including Frank Kozik, Buff Monster, Jenn Porreca and many more. Through this unique event we aim to generate greater awareness for the global plight of sharks and the importance of our oceans via creative and entertaining avenues in order to raise critical funding to support PangeaSeed’s ongoing efforts and groundbreaking projects. Proceeds raised through the sales of the vinyl figures will help fund PangeaSeed’s 2014 “Year of Living Dangerously” art tour of Asia. Because Asia is ground zero for the trade and consumption of many endangered species, the 2014 Asian event will reach six major Asian cities extending our core message to critical audiences.

The Great West Coast Migration
In the spirit of ocean conservation the international non-profit organization, PangeaSeed, is ramping up its 2012 summer activities in the United States with a west coast art exhibition tour. Tailored to address one the biggest threats facing the health of world's oceans today, the rapid mass depletion of sharks, PangeaSeed aims to expand the public’s knowledge of the inhumane practice of shark finning and its deep impact on the health of our oceans. In the cruel process of shark finning, primarily practiced in Asia but also in other parts of the world, sharks are killed solely for their fins to satisfy an unsustainable appetite for shark fin soup. The shark is hooked and brought aboard the boat where its fins are then cut off and the still alive but limbless animal is tossed back into the sea to drown. With each minute that passes close to 200 sharks are killed, adding up to an astonishing 73 million deaths each year. Scientists estimate that global fish stocks will be in full collapse by 2048 if current consumption and destructive fishing practices continue. But even more shocking is the concern that the majority of the ocean’s shark species could be extinct within the next 10-20 years. PangeaSeed, with an inclusive approach to spreading its message by engaging audiences through the mediums of art, photography, film, music and discussion, will embark on a series of art exhibitions held at a variety of forward-looking, socially-conscious galleries located along the United States’ west coast. The pioneering tour kicks off in mid-July in Seattle, Washington, and will then continue onto Portland, Oregon, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Costa Mesa, California, and culminate in San Diego, California, in mid-August.
