We visited SF MOMA and were able to catch the exhibit, The SECA Awards, 50 Years of Bay Area Art, before it closed. This was an interesting and wonderful show with artists we hadn’t seen before and altho the exhibit is over, we wanted to feature the ones we really liked – in different posts. It is really rewarding to see a show like this at SF Moma – local and fresh artists – instead of the same old Warhols and Fridas. There were way to many to cover in one post, so for the next little while we will be sharing all these fantastic artists with you.
Really, really love this very large and dark piece by Larry Thomas, dynamic with movement and velvet blackest black. Titled Soul Trap – charcoal and pigment on paper.
