artMRKT

A couple of weekends ago, Z and I got a chance to stop by artMRKT at the Concourse Exhibition Center in SOMA and viewed work being displayed by galleries from all over the United States. With a fair portion of the art priced between several hundred to many thousands of dollars, SOMA seemed the appropriate setting with its gleaming skyscrapers and parvenu savor. The pictures below are just some of the multitudinous volume of  work at artMRKT.











Broken Love by Grisha Briskin



Cirrosa by artist Jessica Drenk who transforms familiar objects into patterns seen in nature.

Margaret Keelan’s uncanny sculpture Dancer in Red Dress


This last picture is one of my favorites. What may seem like some ubiquitous  American Flag artwork was actually small items (scissors, swiss army knives, lighters, etc.) that have been confiscated from various airline travelers. There were definitely some completely random items! Yay America!
