DESCRIPTION:April 28 - May 30, 2013, open 10am - 6pm, M-F\n\nIn this exhibition of 
 ambitious, large scale mixed media paintings, David Young Allen explores 
 the complex achievements of three men who opposed slavery, Simon de 
 Bolivar, activist warrior who freed Latin American colonies from Spain; 
 Alexander von Humboldt, adventurer and explorer of South America; and Roger 
 Williams, advocate for Native American rights and early proponent of 
 religious freedom and separation of church and state.\n\nAllen made these 
 paintings in New York City, where he lived during the mid-1980s and early 
 1990s, before returning to San Francisco. Informed by his travels to 
 Ecuador, Venezuela and Australia, Allen's near-obsessive interest in the 
 three figures portrayed in these paintings was his response to the United 
 States' illicit interventions in Central America in the 1980s and Reagan's 
 failure of leadership during the AIDS crisis. \n\nAllen lives and works in 
 San Francisco, California. He is known as a member of the San Francisco 
 Renaissance, when a thriving poetry scene in San Francisco in the 1950's 
 and '60's broadened into a community of artists. Painters, avant-garde 
 filmmakers, collagists, and musicians freely explored form and content, 
 embracing new aesthetics and breaking away from codified style. The 
 blossoming movement encompassed philosophy, a new interest in other 
 cultures and changing social sensibilities.\n
