“The pieces in this show are inspired by convenience stores and gas stations. Through representations of consumer products, my work explores the impact humans have on wildlife and the environment. I enjoy creating the colorful packaging as an exercise to see what I can recreate with paper.”
-Andrea Bergen
“Wild In The Streets” is a duo exhibition of two Bay Area artists we’ve long felt were destined to be in a show together. Featuring the off-the-wall, hyper detailed collages and papier-mâché sculptures of Andrea Bergen, and the anthropomorphic (and often surreal) animals of John Casey—these joined bodies of work come together to envision a world where people are all but gone and the animals have taken back over and assumed human roles. Falling somewhere between a rumination on the environmental impact of consumer culture, and a celebratory spree of nature’s reclamation, this show reaches a degree of full-on mayhem that won’t soon be forgotten.
