Subtext Gallery Show-Look

Subtext Gallery and Design Bookstore presents Look: The work of Grant Brittain and Josh Higgins. July 30th-August 29th. Opening reception Friday, July 30th, 6:00-10:00 p.m.
Different artists, different mediums, different content. But the song remains the same (or at least similar). Friends and fellow artists Grant Brittain and Josh Higgins will grace the walls of Subtext in a joint venture of unrelated themes. Brittain’s portraiture of some of skateboarding’s greatest names through the years features icons and underground heroes. Higgins’ poster-art focuses on his work with punkers, musical heros, and charitable causes. Together, the collective work suggests what it would be like to eavesdrop on these guys hanging out, having a beer, and comparing broken wrists and paper cuts. LOOK: A dialogue for your eyes. At Subtext this summer.
