Oakland based conceptualist Scott MacLeod defies easy categorization as an artist. He is a maker of objects, a publisher of books, a performer, and a keen and compassionate social critic. In this exhibition, we will be showing a group of pencil drawings he did as a young boy of four. Previously exhibited at the San Francisco Art Institute, these precocious sketches are significant in their own right but MacLeod has lived his life in such a way as to reach back and validate this work in a manner few could. We are excited about the opportunity to show these remarkable drawings in the room for paper. A catalog of the exhibition with commentary by the artist is available through the gallery.
