ART OPENING FOR SURREALIST PAINTINGS
OF FRANK GARVEY

Free opening reception on Fri., Mar. 10 from 7-11 p.m.

A hyper-caffeinated brew of jack-in-the-boxes from
hell, vaginal orchids, armless but not harmless alien bone-beings and
espresso will be served at the opening of Frank Garvey's exhibit of
paintings and sketches at Muddy Waters cafe.

Garvey's paintings ferment Da Vinci-like technique into audacious,
oracular
visions of working class oppression, backlit by the atomic pollution of
deadly mushroom clouds. Miniature tableaux, packed tight with sardine
tin
precision, cast humankind's inhumanity to man in blinding relief, from
mohawked skateboarders to jiving carnival freaks.

The founder of SoMa's OmniCircus, Garvey's 15-year-old theatre is ground
zero for grim, post-9/11 Guignol movie sets, prophesizing America's
soul-destroying demise. A science-friction, neo-crassical cabaret of
junkyard robots, Garvey's OmniCircus exposes the brutal and violent
collisions of uber-geopolitics with human suffering in a ballistic
ballet of
butoh, live music, theatrics, virtual puppetry, experimental digital
video
and searing performance art.
