Gallery 16 is proud to present artist Shaun O’Dell second solo exhibition at Gallery 16, Doubled. May 21-July 10, 2015.
Doubled will be an exhibition of recent mixed media paintings, sculpture, video and a pair of wall drawings by Emily Prince.
In Doubled, O’Dell started with an old portico in Golden Gate Park called The Portals of the Past. His interest in the site comes from its reference in Hitchcock’s Vertigo and his own experience of it on daily bike rides. In both the film and San Francisco folklore the Portals of the Past are associated with the supernatural and a disruption in our understanding of the physical world. O’Dell uses the Portals as a catalyst to make an associative journey through autobiographical, historical and fictional narratives that contribute to an impossible mapping of his position in space and time.
