Openning Reception:
Saturday April 19th, 2008
7pm to 10pm
White Walls Gallery is pleased to announce the first solo exhibition in San Francisco by New York collage artist Greg Lamarche.
This exhibition celebrates 27 years of writing graffiti and making collages with the new series 27 Tags. The deceptively simple collages from old and discarded papers form an autobiographical survey of hand-style. The series illustrates the progression from past to present and how graffiti, text, letters and hand-style are the basis of all his work.
In the site-specific installation Things I Picked up Along the Way, uncut papers and other found materials are tacked to the walls of the gallery making a larger than life size collage. The accumulation of material is central to his artistic process and each element has particular significance and meaning. The installation also reveals the sources and inspirations which result in the surrounding collages.
