CK Contemporary proudly presents Urban Sprawl: Examining the Human Environment, featuring artists Rosalyn Bodycomb, Hollis Dunlap, Ronald Dupont, Juan Escauriaza, Emily Fromm, Michelle Osman, Elizabeth Patterson, and Marc Trujillo. The gallery will host an artist’s reception on Saturday, August 24, from 6pm–9pm.
“At a time when San Francisco and cities across the US are experiencing unprecedented shifts in demography and landscape,” remarks Owner and Director Lauren Ellis, “it has become ever more crucial for artists to examine the human environment, asking us to pause in the face of the small moments that create the backdrop of our everyday lives.” In Urban Sprawl, CK Contemporary presents eight artists’ interpretations of the public terrain, and how it has become a metaphor for the human condition.
An ‘urban landscape’ is defined merely as a “representation of the physical aspects of a city or town”, but where that definition ends is precisely where the works by the eight represented artists in Urban Sprawl begin. The images in this exhibition are not simply documents of our thriving metropolises and small towns, but are instead windows from which we can examine the beauty of our shared human experience.
