Multitude

Description

Show Opens on October 1, 2008
Opening Reception: Thursday, October 9, 6pm-9pm

Hotel Biron and curator Heather Bernard is pleased to present a new exhibit featuring local San Francisco artist, Micke Tong. This show, titled "Multitude", will display drawings in black ink on paper.

Multitude is a series of drawings that are based on the idea that "by unifying the many, a powerful visual message is concieved," explains the artist. The same philosophy can be universal when applied to politics, architecture, wars and social environments. Tong's drawings are populated by an expansive cast of human, animal, hybrid characters and mechanical objects. For this exhibit the artist uses repetitive imagery, based on inspirations of pointillism and his penchant for digital pixels per inch (PPI), to create a foundation for his drawings. Despite the works complexity the artist avoids any direct narrative, which he consequentially invites various interpretations.
