AMANDALYNN + LADY MAGS

Opening Reception: Friday, JULY 12th, 2019 | 5-11pm | Through Aug. 29^th

Alynn-Mags are very proud to present ‘Lullaby’, a fine art exhibit, debuting at 111 Minna Gallery in San Francisco, CA, opening Friday, July 12^th, 2019. By definition, the word Lullaby refers to a soothing song or piece of music that is played for children. Lullabies are also often used to develop communication skills and emotional intent. Amandalynn was inspired by a beautiful Lullaby written by her friend, Phyllis Whitney and sung by the very talented Venetia P. The simple yet meaningful words and melody of this particular Lullaby evoke an emotion of peace and connectedness to everyone. For Amandalynn, that is something that she also hopes to achieve with her new series of work for this exhibition. She shared this Lullaby with Lady Mags, and together the duo has been dreaming up a visual display of artwork intended to inspire and ease the viewer, just as the perfect Lullaby can soothe one’s inner child.

Together, Amanda Lynn and Lady Mags are known as Alynn-Mags, a street mural and fine art team.  Both artists are Bay Area residents, and together they have over two decades of painting experience.  Alynn-Mags has been immediately recognized for their large-scale spray paint and acrylic brush paint mural combinations. In their fine art collaborations, the duo also merges different mediums and techniques to create their pieces. Lady Mags often works with abstract watercolor imagery, which Amandalynn incorporates into her detailed illustrations. The symbiotic friendship between these two women shines through in their collaborative works, each element supporting the other in their final compositions.

Celebrating 30 years of Swiss Made in America

(Every) Now and Then is a retrospective exhibition that represents 30 years of art and music by San Francisco icon and Swiss born artist, Roman Weingartner, but more widely known as ROMANOWSKI.

The show will highlight the artist’s deep diversity in a wide range of mediums and practices, from assemblage, wood-work, stencils, sculpture, painting, photography, “mattress bombing,” music production, and turntablism.

Since his arrival in the U.S. in 1988, he has nurtured his many crafts, while garnering attention from likeminded artists both visual and musical for his originality. Romanowski has collaborated with many other well-known artists such as, Mars-1, Doze Green, Nome Edonna, Damon Soule, Brian Barneclo, David Choong Lee and Daniel James Burt. His musical collaborations are also extensive with artists such as Quantic, Tommy Guerrero, DJ Smash, Walter Earl, J. Whitfield, PEACE (Freestyle Fellowship) and more.

His musical inspirations are so vast and varied he’s aptly dubbed his sets “All Styles, All Smiles”.

WILLIAM ARVIN | Show Statement

I remember watching movies on my VCR as a kid and pausing particularly striking scenes. I would allow the image to linger for a time until I could fully ingest its properties, often having to fight through the VHS glitches that would obstruct different parts of the image. Interrupting the narrative thread, the image as well as the illusion were suspended while breaking the fourth wall in this way, a way which gave me a sense of participation in the work, an empowered viewer who could wield the medium, and the work itself, to his own liking. Shadows, bright lights, shimmering rain and neon soaked streets, figures in motion, gripping facial expressions, pivotal moments in the story, compositions both structured and spontaneous, all of these elements mystified the screen and gave it gravity, elevating the consumer electronic device to the realm of the sacred.

JOHN OSGOOD | Artist Statement

Sometimes the journey is more important than the destination. It’s the experiences along the way that provide us with valuable insights… sometimes those experiences are purposeful, sometimes they are arbitrary and sometimes they are “happy accidents”. How we learn from this journey and create memories from them, weaves the fabric of who we are. What do we chose to keep? What do we chose to cover up? My paintings are reflections of my journey in life and this body of work poignantly depicts my transition from the Pacific NW to the San Francisco Bay Area. I am a process-oriented artist. I begin paintings with large strokes of color and add texture as I go. I may have up to 20 paintings going through this process at any given time. Just like there are many choices we can make in life to change the outcome, I am in a constant state of flux with my pieces until the path becomes clear. I leave hints and cues with text and symbols in each painting leading the viewer to find their own interpretation of our shared human experience. Continue reading →
