Hibbleton Gallery announces “I Left My Heart in Detroit”, featuring an all-Detroit lineup of artists: Niagara Detroit, William Zdan, Matt Gordon and SLAW. The opening reception is Friday, February 4, 2011 from 7:00 pm to 11:00 pm during the Downtown Fullerton Art Walk, and is free.
Lowbrow icon Niagara has a rich history in the Detroit art and music scene. She was front woman of the proto punk band Destroy all Monsters featuring former members of the Stooges. Her rugged, female-power art has been featured in galleries around the world, including Sydney, Tokyo and London.
Detroit expatriate and Southern California resident William Zdan has shown in galleries in and around Los Angeles and Orange County. His work mixes political and religious satire with a classical, trained style to create stirring and provocative works of beauty and contemplation.
Matt Gordon’s work has been featured in Juxtapoz Magazine, on album covers (including Modest Mouse), and in RVCA designs. His works collects a Bosch-like assembly of modern-day characters for a surreal (and often comical) experience.
The art of SLAW re-creates a Motor City landscape decorated with hep cats, muscle cars, and seedy lounges. His “shaken-not-stirred” approach perfectly complements this cocktail of accomplished artists.
Curated by William Zdan.
“I Left My Heart in Detroit” will show through February 26th, 2011.
