Ed Hardy: Visionary Subversive is a major exhibition of original art by one of the world's most well-known culture icons. Co-curated by Hardy's assistant Trevor Ewald and presented by Varnish Fine Art at The Midway in San Francisco, this month-long art show includes Ed Hardy's self-described "Automatic", "Crazy Animal", never before shown "Eyecon" and "Rose of No Man's Land" paintings alongside the debut of his porcelain "Panos" inspired by jailhouse handkerchief art. With a half-century of fierce dedication as an artist, art historian and writer, Hardy seamlessly fuses disparate artistic elements to his own personal history, telling the story of his life in art.
During the counterculture revolution of 1960's San Francisco, Ed Hardy began subverting notions of what art is, and elevated tattoo from a marginalized craft to the vital contemporary art form as it is known today. He continues to look beyond cultural boundaries to inspire his personal art and inform the public, promoting art world underdogs to Sailor Jerry infamy. Artists from Ed Hardy's hometown of San Francisco and tattoo artists from around the world participating in the Bay Area Tattoo Convention will join him for special events from 7pm to 11pm on Thursday October 29 and Monday November 2 in the gallery at the Midway located at 900 Marin Street in San Francisco.
The Ed Hardy: Visionary Subversive art exhibition is on view at the Midway from October 5 to November 2, 2015. Gallery hours are Mondays through Fridays from 11am to 3pm.
Artist Reception: Thursday October 29th, 7-11pm Closing Party: Monday November 2nd, 7-11pm
