This is a show I missed, but Nichelle diden’t.  Nichelle and Matt are two friends I met recently that attend art openings, just like I do – but they have it down to a system.

“Last night, I attended the opening reception for “The 1,000 Faces of Spook Cornbread” at McCaig Welles Gallery. Artist Anthony Pugh (AKA LogikOne)’s vivid work is influenced by comic books and  graffiti.   From the artist statement,

Taking on both political and racial issues, he uses dark satire to shoe the struggle of the everyday man in America. This collection’s central figure, “Spook Cornbread”, loosly inspired by the novel, The Spook Who Sat By The Door by Sam Greenlee, expresses anger, fear, and frustration at the “bamboozling” of life in contemporary America.

LogikOne‘s exhibit is amazing AND affordable!  The characters in his work reminds me of the “Fat Albert” comics and also the work of artist Ernie Barnes who work appeared in the closing credits of  70′s sitcom “Good Times”.
