WE STOPPED BY THE J FLYNN GALLERY SATURDAY NIGHT FOR THE OPENING RECEPTION OF THE CHARLES KRAFFT AND MINDY CHERRI SHOW. CHARLES KRAFFT IS KNOWN FOR HIS CONTROVERSIAL CERAMIC ART WITH TABOO SUBJECTS LIKE NAZIS AND CHARLES MANSON. EXECUTED IN CLASSIC PERFECTION YOU'LL DO A DOUBLE TAKE AS THE SUBJECT MATTER IS PRESENTED IN A MANNER TYPICALLY RESERVED FOR MORE REFINED SUBJECT MATTER. MY FAVORITE WAS THE MICKEY CRUCIFIX.
YOU MAY RECOGNIZE MINDY CHERRI AS THE ARTIST THAT CREATED THE EMERALD JEWELED ANTLERS FOR THE GREEN GIANTS SHOW AT GO,RILLA GALLERY. FOR THIS SHOW SHE AMASSED A COLLECTION OF JEWELED CERAMIC WARES MORE REMINISCENT OF GRANDMAS CURIO. THERE'S POETIC COMEDY IN THE CONTRAST OF HER OFTEN VULGAR PROFANITY PAINSTAKINGLY GEMMED ONTO DAINTY DISHES.
THE SHOW RUNS THROUGH JULY 5TH JFLYNNGALLERY.COM
