Innocence Perceived |
Opening Reception: Saturday, March 6th 2010, from 7-11pm
Gallery Three is proud to present Innocence Perceived - new works
by artist Jessica ‘Tink’ Whiteside. This
exhibition will feature new acrylic and mixed media paintings, sculptures, a video
installation piece, and a few opening night surprises.
Innocence Perceived
investigates a culture clash which began in America
in the 1950's - revolving around American sexual identity, media influence
on society, and a divide between traditional and progressive values. While mainstream media painted a picture of
domesticated female roles and polite innocence, an alternative movement was
gaining steam. The show peeks behind the
veil of innocence perpetuated in mid-century advertising and propaganda.
About the artist: Jessica's vivid
paintings and unique feminine style have put her in the spotlight in the
Neo-Burlesque art scene. Over the past few years, her art has been
exhibited in a growing number of solo and group shows on the West Coast.
In addition she has curated several exhibitions, ran the San
Francisco chapter of Dr. Sketchy's workshop, and made
many appearances on stage as a bedazzled burlesque performer.
About Gallery Three: Gallery

Gallery, Giarla opened Gallery Three with the intention of expanding on the
genres of Urban and Outsider Art. Gallery Three is located upstairs
at White Walls Gallery on Larkin Street, and is open Tuesday - Saturday, 12
