Matt Hewitt

"Blargh!" Matt Hewitt's solo show at Big Umbrella Studios Came down a couple of months ago, but the gallery still hasn't recovered from his unique and sometimes terrifying drawings. Spear holes, black blood and incredible monsters still linger-at least in the minds of those who saw his epic show. A movie maker and conjurer of ancient lore Matt Hewitt is a name that has long been associated with BUS, with his collectible drawings an often requested item in any of our shows.

mé·lange...Sept 2nd

Posted August 30 by Therese Agnew

About six months ago, our good friend and rad artist Fred Gray kept talking about tiny things: tiny paintings, tiny works, everything tiny. It started as a broad idea for some artists to focus on--take a break from the big money, big kahuna works--and possibly find a humble approach, well, at least a humble size. Turns out, not only did Mr. Gray encourage at least fifteen artists from the city to adhere to his 8.5" x 11" maximum size, but b.u.s. Gallery is hosting a month long show of this art in a smaller dimension. Come check out the hard work he has put into curating the show, and the work of many artists--most of whom will be in attendance at the opening reception--with paintings you've never seen so small.
