MAIN GALLERY
EXHIBITION TITLE:
”Colorfornia: New Forms in West Coast Street Art: Apex, Chor Boogie, and Jet Martinez”

This fall/winter, the Warehouse Gallery's exhibitions focus on the medium of painting. Placing street art, by definition a public art form, in the more formal space of the Warehouse Gallery offers the opportunity for a new perspective on the role and place of street art, specifically the pivotal role of street art in California. All three artists have contributed significantly to public art in San Francisco, San Diego, and other major cities nationally (Minneapolis and Washington D.C.) and internationally (Beijing, Dubai, Sydney, and Tokyo).
