Julian Faulkner, Anne Veraldi, and Mick Sheldon Exhibition

The September show at Artspace 1616 will feature new works by Julian Faulkner, Anne Veraldi, and Mick Sheldon.

The rich narrative that defines Faulkner’s work is conveyed through complex elements and archetypal imagery. The paintings have continuity that is comforting, but at the same time reveal an irreverent edge that challenges the viewer to look closer. The current show features works created in the past year. Through visual story telling Faulkner examines consumption, pollution, climate change, and migration.

San Francisco based artist Anne Veraldi uses photography as a medium to create highly conceptual work. She employs various objects, often toys, to stage and suggest tales that appear to be floating between reality and dream. A graduate of the San Francisco Art Institute, Veraldi’s work is can be viewed in the private and public collections of the Crocker Art Museum and Di Rosa Preserve.

The immensely intricate interplay of positive and negative space contributes to the expressive and dynamic quality of woodblock prints by Mick Sheldon. This new series explores the possibilities of the still life with a whimsical twist. Each print is hand colored adding to its visual intrigue.
