Jillian Mackintosh enjoys the independent creative life in San Francisco. She travels around the city streets on her sea foam green bicycle to artists studios, exhibits and receptions, fueled by French pressed coffee and noodles from her favorite Tenderloin Thai restaurant. When she is not scribbling fine words onto paper, about upcoming artists exhibiting at The Shooting Gallery, White Walls and Gallery Three, you can find her curating exhibits of her own at 666 Gallery.

Sneak peak at The Shooting Gallery and White Walls opening receptions this Saturday! Dropped by yesterday to check out the art from my good pals of Antistrot. Johan and Silas are just two of the members of the Antistrot group and came all the way from Denmark to install and paint murals on the walls of The Shooting Gallery.

Check out some of the sneak peak pictures of whats in store for this weekend.

Martin Machado is a painter, photographer, filmmaker, and traveler of the open sea. His works stem from a life reflective of his passions and career as a merchant marine, commercial fisherman and sailor. When the long months at sea are done he resides in beautiful San Francisco with his brothers.

 Marty begins his paintings while on tour, often using the rocking motions of the sea as the premise for his works. By spilling paint on paper and letting in freely move across the surface with the rocking of the boat he creates a parameter in which his ocean scenes will develop.   His experimental methods of painting include materials such as epoxy, fiberglass and seawater.  Once the painting is finished he coated the paper on wooden canvas with resin forming a clear and solid surface safe for touching (similar to the feel of a surfboard).

His paintings capture a peaceful serenity abstracted with obscure shape and unusual colors. Almost dreamlike in nature, his perspective is easy to relate with.

Gallery Six recently had the pleasure of working with an artist who goes by the name Jason Vivona. His art is a mixture of humorous situations, psychedelic colors and shapes and insightful creations of mixed mediums.  Vivona's "Eternal Beauty Rest" incorporated painting, drawing, sewing and spray paint. Not only was the artwork impressive but the night had something for the ear and stomach too, with a live band, home brewed beers and Danica's famous chocolate chip cookies.

Eternal Beauty Rest window installation made of painted, sewn lettering and yukalaylee.
