Hospitality House’s Community Arts Program (CAP) is pleased to invite you to the group exhibition entitled 7 Deadly Sins, featuring works from artists utilizing the free-of-charge fine arts studio and gallery temporarily housed at 1009 Market Street at Sixth Street.
Through the centuries the seven deadly sins have represented the dark side of human nature’s shortcomings, and their meaning has evolved over time. As a group they have inspired countless writers, artists and musicians; they are even found today in cinema, modern video games and Manga series. The seven deadly sins encompass the opposite of some of the higher virtues mankind is expected to achieve: humility (pride), charity (greed), kindness (envy), patience (wrath), chastity (lust), temperance (gluttony) and diligence (sloth).
The CAP continues the tradition by asking the artists to expand the interpretations into a modern day context on how they relate to each artist or their works.
Some of the participating artists are: Ronnie Goodman, Jason Rivers, Robert Miklos, Ren, Charles Blackwell, Joyce McClellan, Roya Bozeman, Michael Pilate, J.C. Brown-Miller, Harry Driggs, Dot Butcher, J. Rickey, Janet Williams, Txutxo Perez, Robert Chambers, Greg McKenna, J.L. Smith, Bua James Irvine Taylor, Marsha Campbell, Sita, Kyle Breschini, R. Panter, Bobby West, Ivan Vera, Pepe, Mini Sage, Jeff Roysdon, Jim Housley, Peter Chrisler, Frank Ward, Brock Bates, Tom Jirasek, M. Clift, Insomnia, Warren Ross, Michael Blakemore, Nathony Lattorue, Julius, Blu Eyes, Shroom, Apple and Mitch Hoyt.
The exhibition runs from September 23 through November 4, 2011 with an artist reception on Friday, September 23, from 5 to 7 p.m. The reception is free and open to the public. For more information, contact Ivan Vera at 415-553-4525 ext. 304 or ivera@hospitalityhouse.org.
