Francis Berry in SF Group Show — Noonan Building Artists

An upcoming group show at the Campfire Gallery in the Mission, called “Fractal”, will feature new works on paper by Noonan Building Artist Francis Berry. The show will run between March 12 and April 13, 2014, with an artist reception on Saturday, March 22, from 6pm to 9pm. You can get the address and directions from the gallery’s web site. From the gallery: “Fractal brings together three artists whose work is influenced by the underlying patterns found in our natural and urbanenvironments. Organic and man-made elements are reconfigured into visual landscapes that seek to convey both order and chaos.”

Here is Francis’s statement that accompanies his work in this show: “Rather than contextualizing man in landscape, I contextualize landscape in man. Recycled Landscape reduces human elements to verticals and natural elements to horizontals. By converting the rectangular elongation of the traditional landscape format to a more restrictive square, human design and nature are framed on equal terms. With multiple landscapes crowded in a square format and several horizons stacked on each other, each Recycled Landscape reflects a meditation on the kaleidoscopic interaction between nature and human design.”
