You See What I Did There? by John Hageman, Jr.

KALEID Gallery presents You See What I Did There? new works by John Hageman, Jr. “Lately I have been making work with a lot pop culture references. With this show, I wanted to focus on creating more original pieces using my signature color and humor. I have challenged myself in scale and attempted tiny experiments in color. Not that you would notice… or maybe you did. The work before you on the treated dry wall, is a collection of non sequitur thoughts regarding everything from my lack of sleep to a spirited discussion on current affairs. I have a friend coming to play some songs on his guitar his name is Muffin.” ~ John Hageman, Jr. Artist Reception: Aug. 5th, 7pm–11pm part of the South FIRST FRIDAYS Art Walk in downtown San Jose.
