The list of artists that John Stuart Berger selected to be in Fe Gallery’s Fauna Anomaly is long. It’s more than 40 names deep and ends with “and more,” so we’ll only list a few of them here, such as Christine Benjamin (bold paintings), Dan Herrera (surreal photographs) and Angela Tannehill (mystical collage mixed-media). Many of the artists in this animal-themed group show fit snugly and adjacently into the lowbrow category, and some will be recognized from the Toyroom Gallery’s heyday—such as Robert Bowen, Kim Scott, Carrie Cottini and Stephanie Skalisky. Plus, there will be work from some students of Short Center North, where Stuart Berger is a program director. So expect to see loads of vibrant color, the grotesquely beautiful and more, of course.
