In a fantastic collision of natural and human-made elements, Minneapolis-based artist Gregory Euclide explores aspects of nature, impermenance, and the human experience in unusual relief artworks that seem to grow and drip from vertical surfaces. Some sculptures are framed inside boxes, contained worlds of topographical chaos incorporating plastic, foam, paper, model elements, architectural and geometric elements, paint, ink, and a host of other mediums. Other artworks are mounted atop standard whiteboards found in classrooms, a nod to his role as a teacher where he’s been known to paint elaborate sumi ink landscapes during his lunch break—all of which are subsequently erased.

This week I’ve got culture covered with a report on a favorite San Francisco gallery, Modernism, and a wonderfully witty exhibit to catch. Art dealer Martin Muller has a fantastic eye and mind for new talent and fresh ideas. Through June 25 (and via an e-catalog) catch the subversive art of Denver painter, Shawn Huckins, and the wildly imaginative studio ‘portraits’ by Damian Elwes, a British ex-pat living in Santa Monica. I love the irony, artistry and spirit. Come over and discover. SHAWN HUCKINS MRS. GIDEON TUCKER: I MEAN, LIKE, I REALLY CAN'T EVEN 2016 ACRYLIC ON CANVAS 44 X 36 INCHES Modernism’s Latest Show I’ve been an admirer of Modernism gallery in San Francisco for some years, and always pay attention to the exhibitions and discoveries of its owner and founder, Martin Muller. Through June 25 (and available for viewing through an electronic file) two new exhibits and collections recently caught my eye. Painterly precision, irony, enquiry, and engagement are evident in the paintings. This new show, featuring new art by Shawn Huckins and Damian Elwes, is one to discover in person if you can. Modernism is just around the corner from SFMOMA. Devote a day to art—or request an e-catalog. DAMIAN ELWES PICASSO'S STUDIO, CANNES 2015 MIXED MEDIA ON CANVAS 66 X 66 INCHES "So the easy looking aspect of Elwes’s canvases, the sense of painterly well-being that pervades them, comes from painstaking research. He visited each studio and culled hundreds of photographs of them from the Internet and more traditional resources. These were attached to the walls of his California studio as he worked." — Anthony Haden-Guest About the Exhibits Shawn Huckins EVERYTHING IS HILARIOUS AND NOTHING IS REAL Through June 25, 2016 SHAWN HUCKINS RAFTSMEN PLAYING CARDS: EVERYTHING IS HILARIOUS AND NOTHING IS REAL 2016 ACRYLIC ON CANVAS 62 X 84 INCHES SHAWN HUCKINS ROBERT E LEE: UGH 2015 ACRYLIC ON CANVAS 58 X 48 INCHES SHAWN HUCKINS LAKE GEORGE: LAUGHING OUT LOUD, SERIOUSLY? 2016 ACRYLIC ON CANVAS 24 X 36 INCHES Damian Elwes ARTIST STUDIOS: FROM PICASSO TO JEFF KOONS Through June 25, 2016 DAMIAN ELWES DAVID HOCKNEY'S STUDIO WHILE PAINTING PAPER POOLS 2016 MIXED MEDIA ON CANVAS 66 X 66 INCHES DAMIAN ELWES PICASSO'S BATEAU LAVOIR STUDIO 2008 MIXED MEDIA ON CANVAS 50 X 64 INCHES DAMIAN ELWES PICASSO'S VILLA LA CALIFORNIE 2006 MIXED MEDIA ON CANVAS, DIPTYCH 66 X 66 INCHES DAMIAN ELWES MATISSE'S STUDIO, VENCE II 2007-15 MIXED MEDIA ON CANVAS 58 X 58 INCHES DAMIAN ELWES LUCIAN FREUD'S STUDIO, LONDON 2015 GOUACHE ON BOARD 19-1/4 X 24 INCHES DAMIAN ELWES TWOMBLY'S STUDIO, GAETA, ITALY 2016 GOUACHE ON BOARD 19-3/4 X 19-3/4 INCHES About Modernism Gallery Founded in 1979, Modernism has since presented more than 375 exhibitions, historical and contemporary, in media ranging from painting to photography, sculpture to performance, by an international roster of artists.

In Sonia Alins’s dreamy works, figures gently break through the surface of the sea, creating a minimal ripple around their bodies as they dip in and out of the water. The Spanish artist and illustrator (previously) is known for her expressive swimmers, whose enlarged limbs splay in graceful positions as they float and move through the ocean. Translucent sheets of vellum produce the cloudy effects of water, obscuring fish and coral and adding a three-dimensional element to the largely ink, acrylic, and watercolor drawings. More
