FIFTY24SF Gallery in San Francisco announces the opening of Descriptive Verse, a two-man show featuring the works of Ala Ebtekar (Bay Area) and Rene Almanza (Mexico.)
Through Descriptive Verse both artists will offer new collections of works on paper, drawings, and paintings. The works illuminate a subtle commentary on their culture, human interaction, their similarities in their use of the figure, and a strong attention to their line work.  
Ebtekar describes his works as visual narratives that are a “crossroad where present day events meet mythology.” He also seeks to create “unkown” or “unfinished” moments with his pieces; therefore the stories he creates offer many interpretations or outcomes.
Almanza’s work focuses on introspection, while also being an assiduous glance into his surroundings. “My inspiration comes from almost everything, I'm trying to condensate in my drawings what is happening to my surroundings, its aesthetics and authenticity. Every living moment seduces me to portrait it in its more absolute context, that is what I try to do,” comments Almanza.
Descriptive Verse opens Thursday, July 3rd and will remain on view thru July 24th. Catch some Descriptive Verses before they're gone.
