This Friday, the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts will open the sixth edition of its signature triennial event, Bay Area Now, a celebration of regional artists across an array of disciplines, from performance to visual art, to film/video. Guerrero Gallery congratulates represented artist Ben Venom for being selected to participate in this important survey.

Ben Venom’s pillows, quilts and embroidery simultaneously mock and pay tribute to the encounter between two seemingly opposing forces. His interest in bringing together traditional handmade craft and the extremes of Heavy Metal culture is not an attempt to organize chaos into conservatism, but to provide a reinterpretation through a different medium. Ben Venom received an MFA from the San Francisco Art Institute and currently lives in San Francisco.
