Saturday, October 15th 6:30pm-2:00am Free ----/ Event Description /----------------------------------------------- The New Naturalists Carson Ellis, Brook Caballero and Kelly Lynn Jones at Giant Robot SF October 15 - November 16 Reception: Saturday, October 15, 6:30 pm - 10:00 pm Giant Robot SF 622 Shrader St SF, CA 94117 grsf.com 415.876.GRSF Giant Robot San Francisco presents, The New Naturalists, featuring works by Carson Ellis, Brook Caballero, and Kelly Lynn Jones. The central theme inherent to all three of these artists work is how we coexist with nature. Carson Ellis renders images of trees and plants thriving in a world devoid of humans. The image of a tree growing out of a house could represent nature's natural progression of taking back space. Brook Caballero integrates images of figures and architecture against vibrant watercolor landscapes. In these works, Caballero wants to depict moments of discovery and pure bliss. Kelly Lynn Jones is interested in the process which allows us to adapt so quickly to our ever-changing environment. A painting of a squadron of helicopters flying over a pair of schoolgirls expresses how we as humans can be conditioned to the absurd. Carson Ellis was born in Vancouver, B.C. and raised in suburban New York. Her art education includes a BFA in painting from the University of Montana and a semester's stint at the Lacoste School of Art in Lacoste, France.
