60SIX presents “What if This?”, an exhibition of paintings by Brent Willson and Peter Whitehead. The artists are multi-disciplinary in their approach to creating, each being a musician, poet and painter. Willson’s new series of paintings integrates a wide variety of mark-making. The recent work reflects Willson’s current engagement in assisting Michael Jang in his street art projects. A mission school “non precious” vibe is implicit in the use of found wood and house paint and the artist’s vocabulary is both nuanced and personal. Peter Whitehead presents paintings, sculpture and journals. His paintings are constructed with the most elemental visual forms: diagonal, horizontal and vertical lines. He composes these fundamentals into harmonious sequences.
This exhibition is held June 4-25 at 455A Valencia st. SF. Open Saturdays 12-5. Reception June 4, 5-8PM
