The Body Tribe will feature pieces by Scott West, Phil Baldwin, Omar Thor Arason and Jedi Baldridge in their August 14th Second Saturday Art Walk Show through September 7th. The August Body Tribe show is stunning, edgey and provocative. This critic finds it to be the most profound Second Saturday offering by any gallery in Sacramento this year. Baldwin pushes the envelope with incredible detail, dark subject matter and controversial paintings, while West blasts us with bright colors and the familiarity of those famous Converse high-top shoes. Omar Thor Arason ambushes gallery visitors from the beginning of the show with his memorable pigs lusting for the beautiful nude "Circe" (Odyssey) and his other provocatively surreal paintings.
