B.L.T. Brings it to Berkeley

Followers of this blog will likely recall the collaborative painting group I'm a part of-- called B.L.T. for Bob, Lisa, Tony. This week, if you're in the East Bay, you'll have a chance to see several of B.L.T.'s paintings (six to be exact!) on display in a group exhibition with 'Sonoma Blight', a group that Tony's been meeting with for a bit. This is their inaugural exhibition together.

Other 'Blighters' included in the show include: Todd Baricklow, Art Moura, William Smith, Judson King Smith. "We are a Sonoma County art group that is distinguished from the typical pleasant art of Sonoma County wine art. There is a natural attraction to each other's work which drew us together to form The Blight. The work is concerned with dark humor and is often political. It can be raw or dexterous but either way we try for the gut."

There will be an Opening Reception held Friday, July 9th, from 7-10pm. Firehouse North Gallery is located at 1790 Shattuck Ave. in Berkeley. The show remains up through July 30th. Please check their website for info on visiting the gallery-- I believe there are limited hours.
