Wave Pool
New works by Casey Gray
April 10th – May 10, 2015
Opening Reception Friday April 10 6-9pm
San Francisco-based artist Casey Gray will present a new series of paintings for his first show at Park Life Gallery.
The show titled Wave Pool, will feature Gray's "wavy" paintings that depict universal symbols of everyday life in a wavy or rippled motif that communicates a feeling of uncertainty or mistrust; a general cynicism related to the current changing socio-economic climate and related identity crisis of San Francisco. The symbols themselves are generally lighthearted and optimistic, some having humorous meanings or connotations. The distortion of these symbols inject a level of cynicism and lack of control into their emoji-like imagery.
Casey's more formally composed still-life and cabinet paintings also gain inspiration from his everyday experience. Digitally sourced objects are chosen and composed in a way to suggest a non-linear narrative that is both real and imagined. The artist is interested in using images without context or history and injecting new importance into them by their association with and relation to other images. The works are an attempt at communicating the artist's complex relationship to the world around him, and are an exploration into the overlap of virtual and actual reality.
All works are spray painted acrylic on wood panel.

New Paintings by Joe Ferriso
February 20th – March 22nd, 2015
Opening Reception Friday February 20th, 6 – 9 pm
Park Life gallery presents Ajar a selection of new paintings by Joe Ferriso. These modestly sized acrylic and latex paintings on panel unfold color sensitive spaces for your consideration.
"All these doors leave one’s thoughts ajar. As if in wind or mind. What’s in there?
Nothing, insofar as “art has no inside, nothing you can’t see,” to quote Hugh Kenner.
But really, what’s in there, in those rooms the doors adjoin. It looks like one invitation
after another, each opening into someplace distinct and different. So maybe it’s just
that—the pleasure of arriving in a brand new place. Brown and gray studies, simple
huts, little neon verandas from Miami or the Mediterranean, ordinary adjacent spaces:
the tidiness has an immediate thrill. Their disorders (more charming still) will disarm
you at length. " - Jason Morris
Joe Ferriso is a San Francisco based artist and co-founder of Anzfer Farms. Recent solo painting exhibitions include Mesa SF, Daniel Weinberg Gallery LA and Heliopolis Brooklyn, NY. There will be a catalogue with an essay by Jason Morris to accompany the exhibition.
