"A Tale of Two Cities" is a collaborative exhibition between Sparks Gallery in San Diego and bG Gallery in Santa Monica: two art galleries connected by the same coastline, and shaped individually by their respective cities’ rhythms, energies, and audiences. Through this collaborative partnership exhibit, Southern California artists and internationally collected artists represented by each gallery will be on view in each other’s gallery for a limited showing. On view from January 7– February 7 in both galleries, the works are curated toward the partner gallery’s audience, and each celebrates the spirit of dialogue, play, and shared imagination that can flourish when two art worlds meet. For this gallery swap, Sparks Gallery brings to bG Gallery a vibrant selection of works by four San Diegan artists whose practices embrace bold color, pop-influenced social commentary, and meditations about the world around them. Their pieces pulse with dynamic linework, layered symbolism, and speak to the collecting style of bG Gallery’s diverse, ambitious, and maverick collectors. Meditative and expressive works by bG Gallery artists coming to Sparks Gallery
