Currently on view at Park Life, San Francisco is “Down Below the Feet,” a group exhibition curated by Rich Jacobs and Jordan Isip featuring Melinda Beck, Linnea Gad, Jordin Isip, Rich Jacobs, Chris Johanson, Hannah Lee, Matt Leines, Ashley Snow Macomber, Alicia McCarthy, Jason Polan, Simone Shubuck, and Billy Sprague.  The exhibition offers the notion that there are different ways, methods, and styles in which a person expresses themselves depending on their motivation, circumstance, influences, or simply by conscious choice. Sometimes these methods and practices go unnoticed or exist outside of the eye of an audience.

In curating this show Rich Jacobs and Jordin Isip have selected artists who have produced engaging works rooted in both abstract and figurative styles, though they may be more widely known for one or the other.  Certain freedoms and expectations are known to exist in either realm, and this exhibit will present unexpected points of view from artists asked to present work outside their established zones of comfort in addition to their more established voices.

“Down Below the Feet” is on view through November 24th, 2013.
