Description

Opening Reception for Artist Brendan Rogers.

Brendan Rogers grew up in the mission district of San Francisco where he was a well know graffiti artist in the early 1990s. By the age of 12 he was one of the most prolific graffiti writers in the city, and had been initiated into the notorious "Fearless Youngstas" graffiti crew.

Brendan later moved to the U.K. for studies and was exposed to a vibrant underground art scene. After school Brendan returned to the United States where he enlisted in the US Coast Guard, where he served with distinction for 10 years. His military service took him across the globe, responding to suicide, human trafficking, smuggling and emergencies at sea.
Brendan left active duty last June to pursue his passion for painting and to raise his 8 year old girl.

Gallery Lounge welcomes Brendan Rogers home with his first ever above ground show. The work explores in various forms, the intersection of violence and humanity in american culture, society, and history with his colorful, and potent images.

Join us for an opening celebration on August 1st. 2008, at 8-PM, Music provided by turntablist Juan Bella and friends. Artist will be on hand for questions and comments.

Show will run from Aug. 1st - Sept 1st. 2008
