Shamanism: Images of a Mythic Journey by David Mejia

Shamanism: Images of a Mythic Journey new work by David Mejia “I have always been intrigued by the path of the Shaman who lives between the worlds of the known and unknown. The power of myth and magic throughout the ages and into this modern world.” David Mejia is a local San Jose artist who has appeared at art events through out the Bay Area and Northern California drawing quick portraits of patrons at both public and private events for the past 6 years. Drawing since the age of 6, Mejia’s styles vary between realistic, abstract, and cartoon. He works with mixed media, including pencil, watercolor, acrylic, and ink. “I like to live IN my art.

Skunk-Truck & Lucy by Donny Foley

Skunk-Truck & Lucy new works by Donny Foley This March KALEID Gallery presents: Skunk-Truck & Lucy. This whimsical show features Donny Foley’s latest series of large scale Word Paintings. Each painting depicts a single story, but together they create one giant story; the tale of Skunk-Truck & Lucy. Word Paintings seamlessly combines two of Foley’s favorite forms of creative narrative: story telling and painting. The creation of each piece starts with a painted focal point. Then, the background is formed by hand lettering a story of which the entire painting is based upon. When viewed from a distance a Word Painting is meant to convey a cheery anecdote, but on closer inspection the viewer can see the complex nature of a seemingly simplistic image. Artist Reception: March 3rd, 7pm–11pm part of the South FIRST FRIDAYS Art Walk in downtown San Jose. Free & open to the public. Exhibition dates: March…
