If daylight savings hasn't already given you enough reason to get out on the town, these art openings should. Serge Sorokko Gallery hosts the eccentric Hunt Slonem, Alter Space features creative performances and displays by local artists, White Walls Project Space unveils portraits of the Tenderloin's overlooked, and Rudolf Bauer finally gets his due with a retrospective and a play.
Hunt Slonem: Quantum Leap
With a lifestyle as colorful as his oil paintings, the New York-based Hunt Slonem has generated much ballyhoo. Collectors, museums, and gallerists can’t get enough of his vivid portraits and playful depictions of toucans, parrots and butterflies. His celebrated rabbit paintings – inspired by the fact that the year of his birth, 1951, was the year of the rabbit in the Chinese zodiac – appeal to all ages. For the next month, Serge Sorokko will showcase work from Slonem's new book Bunnies, as well as 40 of the artist’s most sought-after pieces.
The exhibit runs through May 10th at Serge Sorokko Gallery (55 Geary Street). The opening reception and book signing will be Thursday, March 20th, from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m.
