OnSix Gallery presents Sacred Geometry
Guest curated by David V. D'Andrea

Featuring the sadistic, suicidal, and skirted catholic school paintings of John John Jesse. In his paintings, razor blades, whiskey bottles, and spit are swapped between his emaciated long-limbed punk girls. John John is a New York artist and former bass player of the band Nausea. This will be his first time exhibiting artwork in San Francisco.

Rob Middleton has risen to become one of the seminal artists of punk and metal history. He has done countless pieces for Napalm Death, Hellchild, Spinewrench, and his former band, UK crust legends, Deviated Instinct.

Kristen Ferrell, of Lawrence Kansas, will exhibit her heart-wrenching paintings of love, loss, mistrust, and peculiar furry entities.

Tattoo legend Freddy Corbin, of Temple Tattoo, Oakland, will hang his tiled mosaics.  Altar-like designs of devotion, these pieces are amazing compliments to his tattoo work.

Uninhabitable landscapes of alienation and marginalization form Carl Auge's paintings, hazy glimpses into his experiences of Oakland, by way of the Deep South.

Keith Evans, of world-renowned film collective silt, will create a projected experience of the paranaturalist kind.

The photography contingent will be held down by Paul Schiek and Danielle Graham. Paul's photos evoke the surreal silence of the Midwestern woods, and life as real as a midnight swim in the darkness of July. Danielle's layered images cross flesh with pattern, animalism with otherworldly vanity.

Benjamin Vierling will be joining us from Nevada City, CA. with his classically dark and psychological paintings.

From New York City, Madeline Von Foerster will exhibit her incredible paintings of Flemish-influenced arcanum.

The demoniacal inkwork of Tim Lehi from Blackheart Tattoo, and his father, Ricky Peters, Sham's fire and brimstone explosions from the Tenderloin, Leslie Kulesh’s intricate installation, Jeremy Forson's frantic scratchings, the subtle sinister of Mary Scott's portraits of women criminals, Moses Saarni's paintings of corruption, greed, and beauty turned on its head, Erin Brookey's sculpture, an intensely personal chronicle of her life in cloth, pierced plastics, crossed wires, dental floss, and journal entries, Jason Mcafee, of Temple Tattoo’s graphic portraits, D.V. D'Andrea's fourth installment of his Book of Enoch series, and Monica Canilao's incredible stitched, painted, and torn installations of found surfaces and profound grace.

The architecture of our bodily existence is determined by a sacred world of pure form and geometry. The 21 artists in this show have somehow taken their measurements of the earth and rendered visible this world of sacred geometry.
