paul wacker's show at eleanor
harwood is called "another side of this life."
the show features portraits of landscapes and architecture
with a muted color field palette
one of two current art forum picks
for san francisco. glen helfand references "wackers's young, eco-oriented peers (chris johanson, kegan mchargue, jules de balincourt, chris ballantyne, and leslie shows)."
this piece
reminded me somewhat of jacob magraw-michelson's washout,
which i have been pining over.
