Facundo Argañaraz, Greg Ito, and Jonathan Runcio
Made in San Francisco
Romer Young Gallery
1240 22nd Street, San Francisco, CA 94107
April 20 – May 20, 2017
Now on view at Romer Young Gallery, Made in San Francisco is a group exhibition featuring the work of Facundo Argañaraz, Greg Ito, and Jonathan Runcio. All three artists began their artistic careers in San Francisco and have played a role in the development of the city’s art scene. Argañaraz is a founding member of Et al. Gallery, Ito was the co-founder of Ever Gold Gallery and SFAQ, and Runcio is the co-founder and co-director of Capital. The point of departure for the exhibition is a particular shade of violet that all three artists coincidentally found themselves using, with this coincidence inspiring an interest in seeing their work side by side, to draw a line between their practices and their innovative approaches to painting.
