Project Ethos Spotlight: San Francisco Artists
by Sarah Clifford
In just a few short days, Project Ethos will be heading up to San Francisco and we couldn’t be more psyched about the artists who will showing their work at the show. Locals Kelly Clancy, Lawrence Yang, Tony Papesh, and Boris Jovanovic all bring something new and exciting to the table, making for an unforgettable art show on August 11.
Kelly Clancy, originally from Philadelphia, clearly has a passion for art, but also is currently studying neuroscience at UC Berkeley. Her dream-scape imagery in comic style balances a fine line between
Clancy is clearly changing comic style, challenging people to view her commentary as a unique take on social and political times. She finds inspiration in her dreams and from the impossible task of applying rationale to the irrational. Clancy herself says her pieces range in topics, from “alienation to love; from decay to globalism; from faith to the nameless fears that pervade our psyches.”
Clancy’s illustration series, ‘Kids with Guns’ shows an amazing attention to detail with colors draw the viewer’s eye to different emphases in each piece. This same attention to detail carries over to other aspects of her work, including paintings and design.
To check out Clancy’s inspired works, head to her website.
Next up we have the amazing Lawrence Yang, an artist with graffiti art and traditional Chinese painting influences. With that kind of combination, you know you’re in for some astounding one-of-a-kind art, and that’s exactly what you get.
Yang works with ink, marker, and watercolor, using color in dramatic ways. His bright and colorful images bring surreal characters and settings to life – making you think he’s crawled into your head and painting one of your most vivid dreams.
He’s been drawing since he was a kid, and we’re sure his talent will continue to grow and develop. Yang is currently living in SF with his (I already love him) “imaginary pets, Cholo and Binky.”
Check out his profession website here or his personal blog with updates on currently projects here.
Tony Papesh is the next SF artist you can expect to see at supperclub. This guy is an all around artist, working in the fields of digital, sketch and paintings. Here’s another artist who really knows how to utilize color.
Still within the supernatural, whimsical realm, Papesh’s images and sketches are consuming. The simplicity and attention to detail usually has me staring at his work for much longer than I’ve realized. His work has a way of drawing you in and will either make you laugh, or think really hard. To see what I mean, you can see his work on his website.
And last, my certainly not least, is the talented Boris Jovanovic. When I first saw his work, all I could think was, “I need that.” Jovanovic was born in Yugoslavia and used sketching as an escape when he was younger. Now based in San Francisco, his art has a dark beauty, often with hints of tension.
Amazing use of color seems to be a theme with our SF artists, something that is oh so refreshing. Jovanovic uses splashes of color in his pieces, but they never overpower the art. Instead, his subtle use and pops of color are meant to represent glimmers of hope.
His art usually has many layers, each bringing something new to the piece. To see some of his stuff and learn more about Boris Jovanovic, check out:
