Art News:

Greetings!

As we enter the Spring gallery season, Spoke Art is proud to announce our first event of May, "Guns and Ecstasy", the latest solo show by Bay Area artist Scott Hove.

Known for his ferocious cake and taxidermy inspired mixed media sculptures, Hove has created a highly topical body of work for this show focusing on the fetishization of assault weapons in an artistic point of view to the ongoing gun debate. 

Also included in "Guns and Ecstasy" is the debut of the "A Pentagonal Disco Infinity Chamber", a fully immersive installation which brings an intimiate slice of the artist's Cakeland studio to our San Francisco gallery space.

"Guns and Ecstasy" opens tonight, Thursday, May 2nd at Spoke Art. Hope you can make it!

Scott Hove - "Guns and Ecstasy"

Solo exhibition at Spoke Art

May 2nd - May 25th

 

Spoke Art gallery is proud to present "Guns and Ecstasy" the latest solo show from Bay Area mixed media sculptor Scott Hove.

 

Following Hove's participation with Spoke Art at the recent Miami and New York City art fairs in 2012 and 2013, we are honored to have a new body of work by the artist on view in his hometown of San Francisco this month.

 

Known primarily for his ferocious cake and taxidermy sculptures, Hove expounds upon his unique medium in his latest body of work, "Guns and Ecstasy". For this exhibition, Hove has worked with repurposed and modified twelve assault weapons, and created what he calls "A Pentagonal Disco Infinity Chamber"... This is a one-person-at-a-time mirrored cake room with a disco ball and an endless sense of euphoric space.

 

Please join us tonight at Spoke Art for Scott's new show, this is one that needs to be seen to be believed!
