Spoke Art Gallery is proud to present “New World Hoarder,” an exhibition featuring new work by Los Angeles based artist Casey Weldon.
For his San Francisco solo show debut, Weldon will be debuting fantastical and beautifully painted images meant to inspire, question, parody, and evoke laughter. “New World Hoarder” takes you on a surreal adventure ripe with four-eyed animals, majestic woods people, and chalk full of acerbic pop culture jabs.
Weldon pairs exquisitely rendered paintings on wood panel with thoughtful, humorous and biting takes on the obsessed world around us. He seamlessly balances the monumental with the trivial to offer the viewer a truly original slice of life today. This show mixes the cute, the creepy and the melancholy. The artist presents the idea of a romantic and colorful image as a means to deliver something a little darker, stranger or just plain absurd.
Showing alongside Casey Weldon will be Peter Adamyan in a special mini show entitled “Back Room Cinema”. Peter started his artistic career in Los Angeles and has recently relocated to San Francisco. Adamyan’s series of work takes its influence from exploitation and B-movie posters. “I conceived the main pieces in this show with the idea of creating a poster for my own non-existent film, to tell the narrative I want to share. The narratives range from social issues to historical reinterpretations. Subjects range from interracial relationships to denied genocide to women’s reproductive rights.”
