Word on the Street: Interpretations of the urban landscape September 19, 2008

Market Street Gallery is pleased to present "Word on the Street," an exhibition of screen prints on paper that graphically portray the modern urban landscape.

The technique of screen print (serigraphy) is especially suited to the bold graphic styles that the featured artists employ in their street-level depictions of the city. The exhibition opens on September 2nd and runs through September 30th. There is a gallery reception on Friday, September 19th, from 6:00 to 9:00 pm.

The work of artists Charles Ford, Evan Hecox, Mike Kimball and Hilary Williams feature the imagery of San Francisco, Oakland, New York and Mexico City in four distinctly different styles ranging from photorealism to the graffiti-and street art-inspired.

During the gallery reception on Friday, September 19, San Francisco artists Hillary Williams and Mike Kimball will be demonstrating the screen print technique by producing and selling a limited-edition print commissioned by Market Street Gallery especially for the "Word on the Street" exhibition.

Market Street Gallery exhibits work of established and emerging artists of the San Francisco Bay Area. Exhibitions are held approximately 12 to 15 times a year and include almost all categories of work, including painting, printmaking, photography, sculpture, fashion, street art, installation art and film and video media.
Located in the Hayes Valley neighborhood near the corners of Market St. and Van Ness Blvds., the gallery is one of many in the area. Market Street Gallery participates in the Hayes-area gallery Arts Stroll every 3rd Friday, along with eight other locations. Muni access: Civic Center Station
