Fivepoints Arthouse
50-A Bannam Place
(415) 989-1166
Reception: Tuesday, January 27, 7-11pm


Fivepoints Arthouse is proud to present Winston Smith's epic "disasterpiece", entitled Fed Up, re-created on-site in the gallery. Armed with his razor blade and fiendish wit, Smith has created his largest surrealist landscape to date. Using a heroicly-scaled, larger than would-be life sized, representation of the famed da Vinci Last Supper, Winston's work measures 24 feet long by 5 1/2 feet high and incorporates "kidnapped" images from vintage magazines to bring a revealing new light to the final feast. Join us for food, fun and spirit at the artist reception on Tuesday. Free and open to the public.
