Later Saturday we moved on to the opening reception over at White Walls and Shooting Gallery. Aaron Nagel, from Oakland, displays his show, Marks, at the Shooting Gallery. 11 pieces showcase stunning women which are portrayed as Catholic martyrs. Although most are penetrated by arrows, the women seem unaffected, if not calming. The black paint dripping from the women's hands represents a guilty past. What freaks me out the most was to find that Nagel is entirely self taught. His work is absolutely stunning - I couldn't get enough.
