“Boy O Boy II” by Julie Heffernan

Serving as a follow-up exhibition to her 2010 show Boy, O Boy at P.P.O.W. Gallery, Boy O Boy II debuted new works by MMG artist Julie Heffernan Saturday, September 3 at Catharine Clark Gallery in San Francisco. Placing emphasis on the male figure for the second time in her career, the show continues to examine an affectionate masculinity within a fragile world, along with ideas of honor, death, and progression through the stages of life. Set in her characteristic environments of lush foliage, hidden treasures, rococo-esque opulence, and delicate figures, Heffernan’s latest examination of self-portraiture, allegory, and narrative is not to be missed!

There will be an opening reception Saturday, September 10 from 4-7 PM, and the exhibition will run through October 29. Further details can be found at the gallery’s website.
