Upswelling
What:
Opening Reception for “Upwelling” – an art show featuring current work from Shawn Griggs, Spencer Reynolds, and Matt Beard. Also featuring live music performed by Likwefi.
Location: Eureka Art and Frame Company – 1636 F St. Eureka.
Time and Date: 6-9pm, November 13th (the show will be up from Nov 13th to Jan 12th.)
Why? : Hmm. Well, the three of us all have a common thread in our artwork of surfing the waters of the pacific northwest. We’ve all been invited to participate in various projects and events outside of the area, but have never shown together locally. We figured it was about time.
Cost: Free to all.
Misc: Some brief info about the artists-
Shawn Griggs - www.redeyelaboratories.com - known for his bold colorful depictions of the rugged north coast… and skeleton people. Super cool skeleton people.
Spencer Reynolds - www.artandsurf.com - not know so much locally yet, as he lives 2 hours north in Brookings, but some amazing renderings of waves with more color and flow than most artists would know what to do with…
Matt Beard - www.beardart.com - know locally for a various surf shop murals, graphic work for Humboldt Nutrients and A Fertile World, luminous coastal landscapes, as well as a depiction of the local surf community published in 2008 in the Surfer’s Journal, the most prestigous (cough, cough…) surf magazine published today.
