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 Terrorsand 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.
