Carlos Fortino Almeida has been painting for the past 11 years. He describes his work as a mixed-media “surrealistic assemblage”. He uses anything lying around as long as it is permanent or can become permanent. He wants to make his lasting imprint on the world and creates his pieces to survive long after he is [...]
Coming off of his win in Estria’s Invitational Graffiti Battle, Vogue is showcasing his latest work in our anniversary show “Eternal Sleep”. He was being very hard on himself and felt that his piece was not up to his standards. We disagree. At first, you look at his painting and think that it looks like [...]
We met Lawrence a year and half ago. He came out with us one night because we shared a mutual friend. The evening was hazy… we hit up Gallery 1988, Poleng Lounge (or at least somewhere near there or was it Madrone?) and a couple of other places. He gave us a mini book that [...]
For this Halloween and Dia de los Muertos weekend, checking out Shawn Griggs oil paintings at 1:AM is a great way to kick off your festivities right! When given the theme of skulls for our “Eternal Sleep” show, Shawn Griggs, aka Redeye, was in his element. Introduced to us by Skew’s mom, we knew when [...]
When I was cruising through the gallery today admiring the artwork hanging on our walls and saddened because they will only be up for one more week, I realized that we have a lot of representatives from Chi-town. Also, they priced their amazing art pieces reasonably. Our anniversary show “Eternal Sleep” showcases Hyde, Peabe, Lawrence [...]
Lily Black is one of a kind… and we are proud to say, and are very lucky, that he is part of the 1:AM family. Lily always has a way of bringing fun and intellect into any situation or conversation. Read our, weird, but entertaining interview with him here: Who is Lily Black? So, of [...]
When strolling or driving down a street in San Francisco, you have probably felt someone staring at you. A monster perhaps? A rabid monkey? Don’t be alarmed, they are real. Lango has made his mark in the city. His craftmanship is impeccable. He transforms walls to look into mythical worlds. Being sandwiched between two of [...]
I was first introduced to Dia’s, aka Sean Somers, work 2 years ago. There was an opening at Fifty24SF gallery and I was inspired by one of his works. I was drawn to the 7 feet tall and 2 feet wide gold and black canvas that portrayed one of Dia’s classic sensual women lounging on [...]
As many anticipate each month, for every new show, we have the exhibiting artists do up our wall on 6th Street. This time we went all out. In honor of the anniversary show we have put together, we have created a collaboration between the different artists that are participating in the show. Street, urban, fine, [...]
Friday, October 16th, 1:AM gallery celebrated our one year anniversary! The artists brought their A-game and filled the gallery with their imaginative interpretation of life and death. One of Shawn Griggs’ oil paintings depicted skull figures fishing, body boarding on a pier that seemed to be floating in the night sky while Lawrence Yang transformed [...]
