PERCY
GALLERY AND CONCEPT SHOP
SEPTEMBER 6, 2014 6-9PM
Opening on September 6 at 4124 Broadway in Oakland, Percy will function as both an exhibition space for artists and artisans as well as a retail space for short-run objects, books, and furniture.
Join us for our inaugural exhibition entitled ANIMAL, featuring new works by Luísa Matsushita from Brazil. Luísa is the well known musician Lovefoxxx, lead singer of beloved Brazilian band CSS which started in São Paulo 2003.
For this exhibit, Luísa has created three series of works. Her sumi ink paintings depict assemblages and unearthly landscapes of jaguars which are delicate, expressive yet graphic, showing off the artist's exquisite technique. Her collages are exuberant, with bold use of color and shape. The third series features black and white drawings with a vocabulary of symbols which nod to both new wave and the classics. Also on show is a collaboration between Luísa and local ceramicist Daren Wilson. Luísa currently lives in Hudson, New York.
Percy’s retail space includes exclusive works by local artists and PERCY's house line, as well as books by OTTO of New York. We are delighted to be joining Blue Bottle, Cafe Underwood, True Burger, and Premium Tattoo in a burgeoning block of young Oakland businesses.
Percy is pleased to invite you to meet the artist at our opening event Saturday September 6th, from 6 to 9 pm.
