Corazones/Hearts
October 3rd – Present
This exhibition by Adrian Arias explores the symbolic meaning and form of the Heart, navigating themes of passion and heartbreak, both socially and personally. The heart is depicted as a dream, a labyrinth, and a space for connection and separation, delving into the pain and hope tied to the organ that continuously beats like music within us.
OPENING RECEPTION:
October 3rd, 2024
ARTIST BIOGRAPHY
Adrian Arias is an international multidisciplinary artist working at the intersection of visual arts, poetry, performance, and social justice. A descendant of the Mochica culture of ancient Peru, he embraces his culture’s use of dreams as a transformative catalyst between reality and imagination. Arias has created large-scale murals for public and private businesses such as Google and a three-story mural at the corner of Turk and Hyde in San Francisco, commissioned by the Luggage Store. He has recently created murals for Magic Theater, Freight & Salvage and Red Poppy Art House. Is the co-founder of Mission Arts Performance Project MAPP.
The Red Poppy Art House has featured installations and/or rotations of work by numerous Bay Area artists including Paz de la Calzada, Alberto Toscano, Fernando Diaz, Yolanda Lopez, Adriana Camarena, Indira Urrutia, Todd Thomas Brown, Adrian Arias, Ytaelena Lopez, Calixto Robles, Mona Caron, Dustin Fosnot, Claudio Nalerio, Sebastian Alvarez, and more.
As a predominantly multidisciplinary performance space, the Art House does not usually host formal exhibitions. Rather, we present works throughout the year via informal rotations of works for sale as well as socially engaged large-scale installation pieces.
