Nieto Fine Art: Intrinsic Exuberance - Craig Poindexter; Tracy Piper.
Comment by AB: Craig Poindexter lays down a baffling array of subject matters, from a classic rendition of Symbionese Liberation Patty Hearst to the ultimate beehive hairstyle to a disgruntled child beauty queen. Stir in some insect and sea life compositions, urban commentaries on pollution and global warming, a major mungo heart painting, and that pretty much sums this dealie bob up. Tracy Piper figure paintings round out the options.

The Popular Workshop: Lightning Appears For A Clear Sky - Thobias Fäldt & Klara Källström.
Comment by AB: Stockholm artists Thobias Fäldt & Klara Källström crop out ambiguous instants from larger narratives. Fäldt tells me that nothing is staged; the images are 100% spontaneous as they happen. No shortage of potential outcomes to cogitate on here. Check 'em out.

FFDG: Confessions of an Old Dirty Skateboarder - Mike Giant.
Comment by AB: On the left wall of the gallery is Mike Giant's complete personal collection of his skate deck designs covering a period of nearly 20 years. Get your history lesson here! On the right wall of the gallery, choose from photographs of sizzling hot models thoroughly arted up by Giant himself (it's a tough job, but someone's gotta do it), and limited edition prints of his classic imagery. A must for pop culture buffs.
