Six Degrees of Separation
August 3rd, 6 – 12
The Mill Gallery, 131 front st.
Santa Cruz, Ca 95060

Six Degrees of Separation is a Group show mixer with multiple artistic
personalities sprawled along the cavernous walls of the new “the Mill
Gallery”, an annex of your favorite neoteric clip joint, “the Hide
Gallery”, and located in the same building. Presented at the opening, the
wide spectrum of themes will stretch from socio-politics to ethereal
nature.

Six Degrees of Separation begins to describe the closeness of humanity,
and how close we all really are. How many people do you know? How many
people do they know? If you extrapolate that over six degrees, we all
basically know everyone. These six artists have come together for one
cohesive artistic goal. Each artist with a different view, background, and
style have worked together to create a memorable experience of their unique
collective brilliance.

Join us in this night of celebration as the unseen collaborative and solo
artworks of several of the territories best painters, illustrators and
sculptors collide in visual harmony like nothing you’ve ever seen.

Gore.b just moved back to his hometown, Santa Cruz, from New York, where
he has been pursuing his art career for the last four year. His art works
mostly with public space and is created from recycled goods that interact
in a public environment. gore.b has created works for this show that are
all made from found materials and deal with local Santa Cruz history.

Elijah Pfotenhauer combines his mediums and methods on a variety of
surfaces including canvas, screens and walls. Currently living in San
Francisco, he plans to not stop making art.

Jayland Taylor is a water colorist hailing from northeast Ohio. He is
currently residing in Santa Cruz, California to document the flora and
fauna of Central Coast.

Spencer Dempsey Jones approaches his art with energetic gestures and
movements. This leaves room for many different types of mediums to mingle
on a single piece. Much of his influence originates from the graffiti art
scene, elemental infusions,and his method varies from finger-painting,
crayons, and collage.

Quinn Bartels, a brilliant painter with a touch of something intangible
and dark, makes her official debut in the art scene. She has been
navigating the infamous Academy of Art, where she has been honing her
skills as influenced by 1960’s illustrators.

Adrian Rasmussen (Hide Gallery co-owner) focuses on the process of
creation as a way of clearing the mind of constant everyday distractions.
Rather than focusing on the content as the end result, he creates with an
acceptance that the process is the end result.
