Michael Brennan: Pandemonium
Opening Reception: March 17, 6 – 10pm
Michael Brennan in collaboration with Martin Muller are pleased to present Pandemonium, an exhibition consisting of over a hundred of Brennan’s circus-themed paintings and portraits. The exhibit also celebrates the release of a book (Norfolk Press) by the same title, documenting the full series and accompanied by several critical commentaries. The former San Francisco Chronicle art critic Charles Desmarais shrewdly describes the effect in his Pandemonium book essay, writing that “Brennan’s technical mastery… confounds, raising a middle finger to artificial distinctions between art and craft, representation and abstraction.”
Other Exhibition Dates: Friday, March 18, 12 – 6pm
Saturday, March 19, 12 – 6pm
Sunday, March 20, 12 – 6pm
