He has been tipped by the leading financial press as one of the street art movement’s most investable artists, but Sickboy refuses to play by the rules of the mainstream art industry. Turning down offers by auction houses and galleries, the British artist stays true to his ‘outsider’ roots – as evidenced by the caged heart installation he dropped outside The Tate Modern last week in response to the corporate backing of a graffiti show held there recently.

North Beach, the neighborhood in San Francisco that by fine artist and illustrator Jeremy Fish (Juxtapoz cover #71) calls home, is the inspiration behind Ghosts of the Barbary Coast, the newest exhibit from Fish, opening Thursday, December 4, 2008 from 7–9:30 pm.
Through his research, Fish found that SF is a city “built on an adventurous pioneer spirit, which you can still see traces of in contemporary San Francisco. It’s that magnetism this city has to that adventurous personality that I am building on.” Through his pieces, Fish resurrects the San Francisco of the past, a time when “young men and women were finding millions in gold, just as fast as they lost it at the gambling table, or to a thief.”
Jeremy takes us to bars of the past such as “The Fierce Grizzly” (that actually featured a live female bear chained to the wall), or “The Boars Head” (where a woman performed sexual acts with a pig). The San Francisco that Jeremy Fish explores is one with 24-hour pharmacies selling single-dose intoxicants to patrons of The Coast at all hours. This was certainly not the norm in the U.S. in 1850, but “this was the dawn of the west coast.”
In Ghosts of the Barbary Coast, Jeremy Fish celebrates the individuals that chased their dreams all the way to San Francisco. In exploring the city he admires, and has called home for the last 15 years, Jeremy Fish unwittingly writes a love letter to San Francisco through his works of art. Jeremy states:
The artwork in this show is my personal interpretation of some of San Francisco’s more colorful founding folklore. The goal for this show is to gain a better understanding of San Francisco’s formative heroes, and honor them in my drawings, paintings, and sculpture, as well as, finding parallels to the early days of San Francisco in today’s contemporary San Francisco, and the cyclical nature of this city and its ill behaviors.
The show features over 35 highly detailed new works, including large woodworking projects from Indonesia. Ghosts of the Barbary Coast will be on display at the upper level of FIFTY24SF Gallery from December 4-30, 2008.

32-year-old German artist Martin Denker will present an exhibition of 20 high-speed and dynamic works in CitizenOfThePlanet.
Combining elements from surrealism, Pop Art and science fiction in many layered, lusciously colored digital whirls of psychedelic images, Denker creates shimmering collages that sweep viewers into other worlds. He finds inspiration everywhere: in neurology and the processing of information in the human brain, as well as in digital technology, Buddhism, traffic, video games, psychotherapy, literature and, he adds, “the colors of some candy stores.” He believes anything can be an inspiration when the gates of perception are open.
Denker uses Photoshop and other image processing applications, sometimes weaving together up to 50 photographic layers of countless sources for one final, extraordinarily complex image. He begins by searching for pictures from the news, war, film-stills, literature, childhood memories, graffiti, architecture and advertising and combines them with his own source images.
CitizenOfThePlanet will open December 13th and run thru January 24, 2009. More info on CitizenOfThePlanet at benjamintrigano.com
