I’m very happy to announce, my Third Annual Open House at Hangar 18 Studio Gallery on Friday, July 15 from 12 noon to 6 pm.

Let’s get together for a celebration! I’d love to welcome the Widespread Panic family to Oakland, California and give everyone a warm welcome to the my studio. This is a great opportunity to visit the print studio that gave birth to some of your favorite posters for your favorite band. I’ll be making a Widespread Panic art show, an exclusive showing of my art prints on oak panel, with some special prints, rarities, and surprises available!

We will be giving people random numbers at the door at 11 am, so overnight camping is not encouraged.

Mats Stromberg at Hangar 18 Studio Gallery, February 7 – February 28, 2014

MATS-SHOW

 “EYE will devour everything in SIGHT”

Mats Stromberg Solo Show

at Hangar 18 Studio Gallery

1428 34th Street, Oakland, CA

Opening: Friday, February 7, 2014 • 6 pm to 11 pm

Show: February 7 to February 28 (by appointment)

Hangar 18 is very proud to present “EYE will devour everything in SIGHT” a solo exhibition of Mats Stromberg’s extraordinary paintings and art prints. San Francisco underground art heavy-weight Mats Stromberg will be exhibiting dozens of new paintings, prints, and books – including a new series of amazing lenticular pieces, which will be made available to the public for the first time at the opening on February 7, 2014 at 6 pm to 11 pm.

Mats Stromberg (Mats!?), celebrated underground artist, lives in Oakland and works as a silkscreen printer in San Francisco.

Mats was born of Swedish nationality. He grew up with a love of comic books which gives his art an iconographic pop vocabulary, drawn from this popular medium, which he subverts, layers and re-sequences at the command of his surrealistic imagination.  Mats paints, prints and continues to publish hand-made, screen printed art comics with titles like: Ragu, Prego, S’not for Kids, Sicko, Eyesore, Asiaddict, and the upcoming Burmese Daze.

His art graces the cover of “Street Art San Francisco: Mission Muralismo,” the 500 page encyclopedic chronicle of San Francisco Mural Art and Street Art; Mats Stromberg is very active on the streets, just having finished a large mural in Clarion Alley in late 2013, and has painted countless murals in San Francisco.

Hangar 18 is a showcase for artwork in the unique setting of Chuck Sperry’s screen printing studio in Oakland. The H18 Project is an ongoing pop up gallery where we present collectors with a unique studio experience, visiting the iconic Bay Area artist Chuck Sperry and artists who have collaborated with or influenced him.
