Description
Visual Aid artist Charles Bierwirth is best known for his tongue-in-cheek paintings exploring masculinity, Purrrrseus marks a return to the animal imagery he began working with in the late '80's. In his photo-realist paintings, faces of tabbies and albinos are meticulously-rendered in huge, close-ups, becoming fascinating, only slightly disturbing celebrity icons that stare fixedly into space or directly at the viewer.Meet the artist on Saturday, April 25th, during the Yerba Buena Gallery Walk, at Visual Aid between 1-6PM. Afterward, Hotel Palomar, will host a post Gallery Walk wine reception from 6pm - 8pm ($5 donation will benefit YBA).
The exhibition runs from April to July.
