Spoke Art are certainly one of the most diverse and exciting galleries, specialising in an eclectic mix of contemporary painting, sculpture and illustration, there is always something bold and different on show from month to month.

January is no exception and see’s Spoke Art presenting the Third Annual Supersonic Invitational, a group show dedicated to highlighting emerging as well as established artists in the New Contemporary art movement. The show itself will open on Thursday, January 9th. 6pm-10pm  with artists in attendance at the Spoke Art Gallery, 816 Sutter St, San Francisco and will run daily from January 10th until the 25th.

The show will see contributions from an impressive 41 artists who have been chosen for their “diverse ways of expressing similar reflections of life in the second decade of the 21st century”.

In a press release earlier today, “Supersonic Electronic” curator  Zach Tutor described the show and working with Spoke Art as such;

“I see Supersonic and Spoke Art as the seeds and hopefully roots of this burgeoning movement as Supersonic is a source of this aesthetic inspiration for many artists around the world and seeks to chronicle, as well as unify, the styles of this generation’s work.

Thanks to Spoke Art the yearly show has become a platform to showcase the best of these talented artists in a physical space furthering what these artists are defining. The gallery is still the most important space for an artist and these artist’s works which are mostly viewed on screens around the world are given, in a sense, a physical blog post.

For me there is much beauty in seeing an artists work from the distance of a screen and finally having the chance to view it in person. It’s like knowing of a treasure’s existence, following the map and then digging it up, basking in the light of the gold.”

The list of contributing artists certainly is impressive and divers. Spoke Art describe the selection as existing “in a world with instant access to unlimited aesthetic inspiration resulting in a very multifaceted generation of artists whose work displays and contains an extraordinary amount of influences. This access to all forms of art and media has shaped their creative output greatly and has pushed art forward to an exciting new era that is only just beginning to be recognizable.”
