$I’m excited to be back in San Francisco for my solo exhibition with @harmanprojects and @toyroomgallery, which opens on Saturday, June 14th, at @minnesotastreetproject. The title for this solo exhibition, “Fractured,” reflects not only on the current state of our culture and socio-political dialogue but also the theme of duality that I explore in much of my work. This body of work explores the fractured nature of humanity and modern life, and also the beauty found in the fractures such as the rips and tears of layered works on the street. These imperfections symbolize depth, transformation, and the unexpected beauty of a new creation poetically resulting from a destructive act of transgression. The often-clashing elements in my imagery highlight the yin and yang of exquisite fragility and wholeness—much like our Earth, which is both beautiful and marked by scars and fractures. The recurrent use of rips as a motif in the work reflects the chaos of the streets where much of my art has lived and died but also provides a metaphor for the competitive and frenetic nature of a fractured world. Limited quantities of my exhibition print will be available at the show. Additionally, before the opening night reception, I will also be doing an artist talk with my friend @carlomccormickick. For more details about the artist talk, opening night, and the exhibition, please follow @harmanprojects. I hope to see you all there! -Shepard$
