STREET LIFE: Pioneer Square's Flatcolor Gallery has the Can't Miss exhibition of the month. Kicking off tonight with August's First Thursday Artwalk is Flatcolor's presentation of three national graffiti artists with a bevy of beautiful street style displays. First is Bay area's Bigfoot, a nature loving artist and skateboard designer. Bigfoot started by writing his name on the streets of San Francisco and now he's moved on to respectable artforms, working with Strangeco, The North Face, Hurley, et al. North Carolina's Chip7 is a sort of abstact scifi artist whose compositions call to mind chaotic and colorful future cartoon lands. The third artist, El Kamino, is a graffiti painter from Virginia. Meditating on nature and technology, El Kamino, like Bigfoot, uses the organic against the constructed, often with striking effect. The show is also presented by The Art of Storytelling. more ›
