111 Minna Gallery is excited to invite you to our latest art exhibition – two solo shows – featuring new and exclusive works by Guy Colwell in his solo show entitled ‘Simple Pleasures Primal Terrors‘ and by David Ball in his solo show ‘Fanfaronade.’
Coming off the heels of a retrospective with 111 Minna Gallery entitled ‘Walking, Talking, Stalking’ – which chronicled his work from the ‘90s to 2018 – Bay Area native and prolific artist Guy Colwell is back with a brand new series of paintings. Colwell’s ‘Simple Pleasures Primal Terrors‘ highlights society’s twisted inner workings and the human form throughout the Anthropocene in his signature surreal style. Similarly, SF-based David Ball unveils his third show with 111 Minna entitled, ‘Fanfaronade,’ a new collection of otherworldly abstractions created in isolation during the pandemic utilizing collage, decollage, acrylic paint, and colored pencil.

What:
‘Above It All‘ – Solo Exhibition by Alec Huxley
‘Blasphemous Nature’ – Solo Exhibition by Robert Bowen
When:
Where: 111 Minna Gallery at 111 Minna St, San Francisco, CA 94105
Alec Huxley (B. 1980) specializes in painting spacey dream states and wild animal encounters.
He is based in San Francisco, California.
Description of Huxley’s work from 111 Minna’s former curator Micah LeBrun:
“Alec Huxley anchors this body of work with his signature style of iconic and suit-clad figures which seem to be suspended between dimensions or speak to ones consciousness slipping from reality to that of a lucid dream all the while traveling through and viewing these scenarios through the lens of a vintage space helmet. Conceptually, Alec’s subjects seem to be sourced from historical Americana and subcultures that exude a renegade ambience when remembered, like the beatnik movement or the whisky runners of the prohibition era. His ability to seamlessly overlap conceptual ideas, create a similar illusion like that of a locomotive resting on the ocean floor”
