    Michael Rosenthal Gallery: Mutant Anxiety.

    Artists: Megan Whitmarsh, James Benjamin Franklin, Matt Furie, Clara Fialho, Jane Fine, Veronica de Jesus, Kelly Allen, R Nicholas Kuszyk, Derek Weisberg.

    Review by Pilar Vree: The artwork at Michael Rosenthal bursts with color and goes giddy with movement. With distorted creatures, bizarre collages and hectic texture, this vibrant show screams with 21st century excitement, a strange perception of things to come.

    Comment by AB: My propensitous predilection would be a dizzyingly intricate wall installation up front by New York artist R Nicholas Kuszyk.

    Lukas Stained Glass, 152 Helena Street, San Francisco, CA 94124: Guardian Art Show.

    Artists: Prairie Prince, Pete the Painter, Amandalynn, Wythe Bowart, Nick Lukas, Moria Lukas, Margaretta, Jin Kim Chon, Matt Gil, George Mead, Lucien Shapiro, Sharon Collins, Stan Peskett, Paul Knotter, Megan Shaffer, Tom Rudolph, Charlie O'Hanlon, Catherine Murty, Gretchen Hodgins, Devon Raphael

    Comment by AB: According to publicist Amandalynn (who also happens to have painted my favorite painting in the show), the work on display here is themed on the idea of the Guardian Angel. The participating artists share studio space here at the former Lukas Stained Glass studio. It's about art, friends and family, and celebrating the Holiday Season.
