Loneliness, desolation, altered states of reality, and being stranded all play a part in Receiver Gallery’s latest exhibition, Your Face Looks Like An Island. The San Francisco-based gallery will feature the work of Belgian artist Sacha Eckes and Porous Walker (who claims he was once visited by the ghost of Shel Silverstein).

The two artists approach the subject of the island in their own distinct ways. Eckes favors amorphous shapes and lines, while Porous takes a three-dimensional approach, creating his own islands he peoples with juvenile figures.

Your Face Looks Like An Island runs February 3 – February 27, 2007.
The opening reception is February 3, from 7 – 10pm.
