Local Color, Take 2


There's one week left to catch two excellent examples of contemporary screenprinting on 14th Street. "Tribute 2" is Irvine Gallery's last show at its present location. Mum's the word on where they will pop up next. Political propagandist and graphic designer  Shepard Fairey's flag prints, called "HPM" (Hand Painted Multiples) are multi-layered masterpieces. And don't miss the city's best mural in the alley behind the gallery, with more of Fairey's trademark patterns and revolution imagery.

Just a couple blocks walk is "Local Color" at Plan B, featuring the work of another graphic designer turned screenprinter. Michael Crossett's freeform collages are peppered with local landmarks and screened onto paper and board, the latter sometimes dipped in a thick coat of reflective resin.
Both shows close at the end of the month.
