September 2009 Archives

KALEID Gallery presents the featured exhibitions Anxiety by Julie Bilyeu, and From the Rubble by Drew Clark for the month of October.

Anxiety new drawings by Julie Bilyeu
Julie’s love for art has helped her cope with a severe anxiety disorder. Drawing has become a necessity for her and she is currently inspired by these anxieties and panic attacks which manifests as dark and dramatic charcoal drawings of her experiences.

From the Rubble new paintings by Drew Clark
Drawings on cave walls and old temples have always depicted the end of the world and the collapse of civilization. The Modern Age is no different; visions of recession, biblical apocalypse, climate change and environmental destruction by industry. These new paintings explore the symbolism of the End Times.

Artists' Reception: First Friday, October 2nd, 7-9pm

This event is part of the South FIRST FRIDAYS art walk in downtown San Jose. Free and open to the public.

Exhibition on view through October 30, 2009.
