SAN FRANCISCO ART GALLERIES OPENINGS
FIRST THURSDAY 10.05.06
REPORTED BY MATTIE BAMMAN

Fifty24SF: Mike Giant; Vitche.

Comment: Mike Giant's pen and ink drawings are reminiscent of his tattoo work-- mostly black and white lines. The images are clear and powerful without great detail, viz they can be transferred to needlework without a hitch. The subject matter is Satan and sailors. Vitchie's wood and metal sculptures have the presence of ancient tribal artifacts but with the flare and uneasiness of The Nutcracker or jack-in-the-box horror shows (fyi no cheeseburgers implied). Some have working pieces you can turn, crank, or pull.
