If you’ve never been introduced to the incredible art of painter Josh Keyes – and if you’re fortunate enough to be in the Bay Area these days, consider checking out his new show at Hang Art Gallery on Sutter St. in San Francisco.  I have known Josh for over a decade, had the tremendous good fortune of going to school with him in Chicago, and have been inspired by his painting for so, so long.  I constantly marvel at how he manages to keep lit things so beautifully simple, yet completely described, in impossible contexts.

A great review at a cool, if bizarrely named, art site, Fecal Faces.
