    Andrea Schwartz Gallery: Nicole Buffett - Matriarch.

    Comment by AB: According to the proclamation, "Nicole Buffett's paintings of abstract landscapes allow the viewer to interpret the suggestive spiritual possibilities of deeper consciousness. By using a variety of organic and synthetic mediums on panel, Buffett creates abstract landscapes that act as topographical worlds, which invite the viewer into visceral and meditative experiences. This allows Buffett to map the relationship of things close and far, of things felt, and of things invisible." In other words, Buffett's art is whatever you want it to be. Or if you're seeking a more metaphysical message, maybe this-- "Everything is everything." The art itself? Aesthetically satisfying and well-made. For you genealogists in the crowd, Buffet is the granddaughter of investment guru Warren Buffet.

    Fifty24SF Gallery: Stanley Donwood - Over Normal.

    Comment by AB: London artist Stanley Donwood, known for creating twenty years of Radiohead album covers, here shows a provocative mix of text and chart-based works comprised primarily of words and colors used in spam emails. To drive it all home, he piles cans of spam in the gallery's front windows and prints up a 12-page newspaper to elucidate us on the essence of his endeavor. Effective overall; stop on by.
