Gallery Six is proud to present ETERNAL BEAUTY REST: the observation and classification of phantasmal specters and the interdimensional experience by Jason Vivona. This exhibition showcases more than sixty original drawings, paintings, masks, and mixed media works. Please join us for the opening reception on Friday, November 13th 2009, from 7-11pm at 66 Sixth St in San Francisco.

The art of Jason Vivona presents a combination of abstract expressionism, skate-punk culture, and design. An emphasis on spontaneity serves as a platform for surrealist work with unexpected juxtapositions. Initially unidentifiable visual elements meld to create cohesive, realized images that are often laced with cultural reference and satirism. Incorporating a diverse array of mediums including latex, aerosol, gouache, ink, and even tea or wine, Vivona creates complex and beautiful works on paper. Bright, vibrant colors explode with random drips and variations, other times with deliberate appearance using stencil and print making techniques.
