Remembering Tomorrow, opening Saturday, May 10th at San Francisco’s Shooting Gallery, explores deeply personal and emotional connections to family, friends, life and death. Spending a great deal of time dealing with family loss, reconnections, and experiencing a true commitment to relationships, Curve has created a nostalgic air that is reflected in his work through precise execution in tune with profound meaning.
With a graffiti influence and an extreme passion to simply create, his pieces are layered with spray paint, gold leaf, and drips of colorful acrylic. Layers of paint in the background represent the lack of value and authority with writing graffiti on the street, and its temporary and impermanent nature- easily buffed over the next day- symbolizing our ever-changing existence.
References to the delicacy of life, coping with death, and the idea of everlasting and fleeting existence are all explored. The evocative collection of new hand-painted pieces, mixed media, and an installation to compliment the show, is sure to create reflection in oneself.
