Experience the creative energy sparked by imaginations that run amok in the City.
The January exhibition at C.A.V.E. Gallery will showcase the work of a talented group of art renegades, whose dynamic compositions are inspired by the surrounding urban environment - the density of buildings, the serendipitous interaction of city dwellers, and the hope that elements of nature will find their way into our urban daily lives.
This exhibition will feature an interesting diversity of cutting edge works, including paintings, mixed media collages, pen and ink, and unique hand-sprayed stencils.
In addition to showing their artwork in galleries, several of these artists also seek out empty, ignored, monolithic urban facades as their canvas and have created urban scale murals as public art.

Last month, we caught up with Daryll Peirce (Oakland) at Miami's Art Basel. Daryll was invited as part of the epic Primary Flight installations to paint his iconic "arterial- botanic" city organisms on the streets of the industrial Wynwood area.
Focused on exploring the connectivity within humanity and its claims of control over social systems, habitat, nature, and the future - Daryll’s artwork pendulates between the satiric and esoteric, optimistic and pessimistic, scientific and spiritual, bold and poetic.

We are looking forward to kicking off 2010 with this exciting show that will hopefully encourage some thought-provoking reflection on our current urban condition.
