FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:“UNDEFEATED”PAINTINGS AND RECENT WORKS BYDAVE CROSLANDwww.hiredmeat.comAUGUST 7 THROUGH SEPTEMBER 2OPENING RECEPTION FRIDAY AUGUST 7, 8 – 11PMwith DJ’S TRIZZAE, KERO ONE, GREEN TEA, and THE TONESRSVP AT www.going.com/undefeatedD-STRUCTURE SF 520 HAIGHT ST.SAN FRANCISCO, CA 94117415.557.2431www.d-structuresf.comDave Crosland’s UNDEFEATED is a visual story following the eternal conflict of Good versus Evil, characterized by The Angel, a giant in boxing gloves, and The Brute, a beastly wolf-headed boxer. This solo exhibition features these nemesis behemoths as they face off for the fate of all humanity. The Angel battles with love, nature and creation – the essence of life. The Brute employs fury, vice and destruction – the keys to mankind’s undoing. Along with the giant pugilists, these new works also focus on ordinary people caught up in the sway of the fight. From innocent children heeding the call of The Angel, to mutated adults warped by the dark promises of The Brute, Crosland illustrates a world that balances brooding ferocity with childlike hopefulness. At times colorful and controlled, at others raw and explosive, these paintings, drawings and large wooden cut-outs represent classical themes while reaching beyond black and white archetypes. The end result is an exciting tale told in paint, pencil, ink and wood that will capture viewers’ hearts and imaginations. In dark days like these, it’s easy to think that Evil has the forces of Good on the ropes. But they’re not out of the fight yet. Not by a long shot.Dave Crosland is an independent illustrator based in San Francisco’s Lower Haight district. UNDEFEATED is his third and most ambitious solo exhibition to date. His previous works include comic art for Image Comics and IDW Publishing, character designs for Cartoon Network and Disney, and album art for Blueprint and Gym Class Heroes. Since the start of his career in the year 2000, Crosland’s original artwork has been enjoyed by private collectors of all ages, both in the USA and abroad.For more info, visit www.hiredmeat.com and www.d-structuresf.com.
