Rich Jacobs

"Move (#19)" “Move” is an ever evolving group exhibition that boasts a myriad of artists from across the U.S. Everyone one from Jordin Isip and Evan Hecox to Dave Ellis and Barry McGee have been involved in one or more versions of the “ Move” movement.  Rich Jacobs, the founder and curator, has been keeping the “Move” alive for over ten years and continues to bring some of the best artists together for the eclectically composed event. Mixing various styles and mediums to the point of (what would seem like) chaos, Rich builds an orchestra of sensory stimuli.

Even More From Move 19 - Chris Shary and Jeff Canham

Chris Shary: If asked to describe Chris in a single word, one's only option is "delightful."  Chris and his work invite you into a world of joy and laughter.  The soundtrack to this world is written and performed by the punk rock bands and its color-scheme is as vivid and exciting as that of Chris's boots (see Move #19- Opening Reception Recap).  His fun-loving personality is transferred onto paper in his beautifully strange linoleum prints.

In addition to his prints, Chris has put out a punk/hardcore skate zine and done cover art for The Descendents, All, Armchair Martian, and The Stupids, and more.  He also enjoys passing his creativity along as a high school art teacher and play director in Sacramento, CA.

Jeff Canham:

Jeff Canham is easily one of the most talented designers in San Francisco.  His brilliant use of color and typography are rivaled only by his ability to think outside the box.  The combination of these traits has resulted in Jeff's success as a sign painter at the world-renowned New Bohemian Signs, as an art director at Surfer Magazine from 2000 until 2005, as a designer, illustrator, and painter.  The flags, waves, and other intriguingly odd design elements will leave you staring endlessly, through what originally seemed relatively simple, into the perfectly constructed paintings.

While we're preparing for our upcoming show "Move #19"....

We are rapidly unpacking artwork and preparing our gallery space for our up coming show "Move #19"  with over 20 artists participating things are pretty hectic over here.  We will be posting some sneak peaks soon. In the meantime, we thought you might enjoy this stop motion film that Dave Ellis and Blu worked on while at Fame Fest this year. I can't imagine how intense this must have been to execute.  Well done boys. Very impressive.

Rich Jacobs' "Move #19"- Opens next Thursday, Oct 1st.

Who is Rich Jacobs?

This internationally renowned artist is recognized as much for his distinctive illustrations as his role as a successful and innovative curator for more than a decade.
