"Make Believe" solo show
Opening Reception
The Shooting Gallery, San Francisco
June 14, 2008
When I first saw Minneapolis-based artist Greg Gossel's mixed media paintings that mashup vintage comics, pulp-like cover girls and graffiti, I got fairly giddy. I'm a big fan of collage and mixed-media art, and especially when it looks like a big tribute to Teen Confessions Silver Age comics -- which I've been collecting for over a decade. His work reminds me of Roy Lichtenstein meets Bansky -- which means of course that I love it!
But unless my next book makes the bestsellers' list or I manage to get a screenplay optioned, I won't be seeing his awesome work on my walls at home. So I guess I'll just have settle for admiring my photos of his art.
Be sure to check out his "Make Believe" show -- which runs from now until July 7 -- at San Francisco's art gallery The Shooting Gallery.
