Local emerging artist Alex Heilbron is having a show at Shudder Gallery tomorrow night and you should go. This will be the 24 year old’s first solo show in her own hometown. Alex’s work “speaks to the relationships between contemporary paintings and the dichotomy of pop culture and pop art,” says the gallery’s assistant coordinator, Sharona Franklin. “Bright, off putting textures of paint and playful comic-style lines along with her use of negative space in a cut-out composition create a type of narrative referencing 70’s style cartoons and modernist paintings.” Check it out.

HAPHY opens Thursday, April 19 at 7pm and runs until May 5 | 433 Columbia | Thu – Sat, 12:30 – 5:30
