"Shay's Inferno: The Sins and Virtues of Modern Man" Opening Reception April 9, 2011

Distinction Gallery and ArtHatch present innovative artworks by remarkably talented artists to the Southern California region, with a compelling new show featuring the art of Shay Davis entitled "Shay's Inferno: The Sins and Virtues of Modern Man". This accomplished San Diegan artist uses his imagination, playfulness, and his own internal challenges to provide powerful emotional responses to a world of real and fantasy stimuli. Winning numerous awards including the Gold Medal at the New York Art Show in 1992, his original works grace the homes of well-know personalities such as Tony Hawk, Halle Berry, Jayne Seymour and Greg Allman. Coinciding with the show is the premier screening of Shay Vision, a new film documenting Shay Davis, his art, inspiration, and process, at Birch North Park Theatre. Distinction's opening reception will be held on Saturday, April 9, 2011 from 6-10pm with Live Music, complimentary Stone Brewery Beer and Wiens Family Cellars Wine for guests 21 years of age or older.
