Comment: Gestalt collective is comprised of area artists, here debuting a 20 by 60 foot mural spanning a full wall at Rx Gallery and wine bar. The surprising part is the viability of it all, meaning that the graffiti-based genre, traditionally confined to the great outdoors and bar/club walls, for these guys anyway, appears ready for a dose of prime time-- more conventional venues like maybe major retail stores, high-rise lobbies, malls, or (perish the thought) public buildings. Hey-- it had to happen sooner or later. The mural is fanciful, entertaining, visually rich, and done in time for the show (probably on budget too). They did it here; they can do it again. Small portions of the mural, duplicated on board, hang over their mural counterparts and are available for $200. Larger works of art are on display upstairs, most priced at $750, one at $1000. Good acreage for the money. By the way, combination art gallery/bars work art directly into social settings rather than set it apart like traditional galleries.
