DESCRIPTION:Visual Aid artist Charles Bierwirth is best known for his tongue-in-cheek 
 paintings exploring masculinity, Purrrrseus marks a return to the animal 
 imagery he began working with in the late '80's. When encountering these 
 works, the viewer is cast as a modern day Perseus, facing head-on the 
 giant, monster-like Felis catus, also known as the domestic cat. In these 
 photo-realist paintings, faces of tabbies and albinos are 
 meticulously-rendered in huge, close-ups, become fascinating, only slightly 
 disturbing celebrity icons that stare fixedly into space or directly at the 
 viewer. \n\nFound vintage studio portraits of cats are the source material 
 for Bierwirth's paintings, which are created directly on unstretched canvas 
 tarpaulins. \n\nMeet Charles Beirwirth on Saturday, April 25th, at Visual 
 Aid between 1-6PM.  The exhibition runs from April to July. \n\nAlways 
 wanted to check out the arts and culture heart of San Francisco? Explore 
 the Yerba Buena Neighborhood with the very popular Yerba Buena Gallery Walk 
 April 25 from 1-6pm - visit Visual Aid and other local galleries in 4
