Wow. ❤️🔥 plus my hand-pulled print from Sergio De La Torre & Chris Treggiari’s Sanctuary City mobile print shop cart. ❤️🎨 Fun closing party @sanjoseica! ### #dtsj #sanjose #sofadistrict #art #contemporaryart #contemporaryartists #bayareaarts

#Repost @ArtWalkSJ ・・・ Phantom Galleries presents “Emotional Massacre with No Regrets Just Yet” (from title by @jhuisk) abstract art by Jemal Diamond on view NOW at 488 Cafe in downtown #SanJose - drop by and check it out, and add your own title right on the label! 🎨🎨🎨 “Abstract artist Jemal Diamond graces the beautiful blue exhibition wall of Cafe 488 in downtown San Jose with his improvisational, playful, figurative work. “My drawing style comes from the grand tradition of doodling. It’s the marks we make in the margins while our focused minds are elsewhere I find most interesting. Most of the work is improvisational, with no intended outcome – only hopeful surprises. Over the years several natural visual motifs developed that I return to again and again, “The Goddess,” “The City,” and the “Map to Heaven.” You’ll find these frameworks here, often a mix of two or all three. There are embedded intentional dichotomies in each figure to create a playground of visual cues and possible meaning.” Titles for Jemal’s work comes solely from viewers like YOU, including the title for this show. Thanks to artist Jenna Huisken for her title “Emotional Massacre with No Regrets Just Yet.” Drop by the Cafe 488 and add your own title right on the label!” - @thejemalshow 🎨🎨🎨 @phantomgalleries #488cafe #cafe #sofadistrict #dtsj #arts #sanjosearts #art #instaart #artsoninstagram #abstractart #illustration #artsy #artists #408creates #digitalart #sanjoseartists #joy
