San Francisco mixed media artist and illustrator, Lisa Congdon opens a solo Valentine's show on February 12th titled, Love Me Not at BellJar in San Francisco. States Congdon,"In Love Me Not, I explore both the traditional decor and subject matter of Valentines from the Victorian Era (now nearly obsolete), along with common Valentines sentiments and proclamations. In some cases I have taken the gaudy decoration and purposefully toned it down to be more austere to play with the viewers sensibilities. The pieces are intended to be interpreted by each viewer however he likes depending on his level of cynicism. The show features 12 shadowboxes, drawings and gouache paintings."
