CHICAGO REPPIN’ HARD

1:AM — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 22:28:24 +0000

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 Yang, Phoneticontrol and 64 Colors, all from the Chicago area. If you or anyone you know is interested in any of the pieces, holler at info@1AMSF.com.

Here are pictures of their art:

"You Can Run but You Can't Hyde" and "Eternal Love" by Hyde

"Bath", "Untitled", and "You Can't Stop It" by Peabe

"Under the Volcano" by Phoneticontrol

"Forgotten Soul" by 64 Colors

ETERNAL SLEEP OPENING RECEPTION

1:AM — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 05:50:23 +0000

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 his characters to have skulls with a story of absorption and Sesl commemorated Dia de los Muertos by painting a traditional life and death ceremony. This is just 3 out of the 50 amazing pieces we have at the gallery for the Eternal Sleep show.

The vibe was great at the opening reception. People enjoyed the art and each other’s company. Most of the contributing artists were on hand schmoozing, boozing and having fun.

Here are some pix:

“Into the Darkness” 06.05.09 Opening

1:AM — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 05:46:29 +0000

Phew. Whatta show.

Last Friday (6.5.09), 1AM hosted the opening reception of “Into the Darkness” with DrilOne. The custom vinyl toys were out of this world. Over 40 artists are participating in this show representing their interpretation of “Into the Darkness”.

Besides the art pieces, the cool thing was that a lot of the artists were there kickin’ it with the common folks. They were chillin’, drinking beer, answering questions about their art, admiring other artists’ pieces, taking lots of pix of each other, and talkin’ about whatever came up in discussions. Big ups to DrilOne, Leecifer, Brian Colin, Gatchbert, Leonard Amaral, Phoneticontrol, Delicious Drips, Gray and Lily Black.

Come on by and check out the show at 1AM SF gallery. The show will run through July 3rd 2009 or you can visit www.toyjunkiesf.com “Into the Darkness”.

Here are some photos capturing the evening (visit http://tiny.cc/3osny for more pix on Flickr):
