The paintings of West
Coast artist Jesse Reno will be opening Wednesday, September 12th. Reno's
visceral, cave-like paintings are influenced by aboriginal art, politics,
mythology and experimental music. The show runs through October 20th. Artweek Magazine
(July/August 2007) describes Reno's artwork as "...ritualistic and
para-lingual, Reno's work bypasses the obstacle course of verbiage
in favor of the ancient, tried-and-true method of direct, minimally
mediated system of archetypes and icons which our culture both
trampled and idealizes as an indicator of an untenably pure state of
being."
